: Windscreen suggestions
phillycheese917 12-07-2009, 01:08 PM So, I went to go get my bike yesterday in the parking garage next to where I live on campus and low and behold my bike is on the ground and the windscreen is in pieces every where because my bike hit the car next to it. my fairing were fine no scratches or anything thanks to the frame sliders, but now I need to get a new windscreen.
I have been looking around online and am trying to fine a windscreen for my 2003 r6 that fades from black to a darkish red at the top. I have the 2003 black with red flames bike and think a windscreen of such would go well with it. I also would just like to get some suggestions from others out there of excellent windscreens they may have owned. Thanks
r3x1mu5 12-07-2009, 01:12 PM i prefer the tinted dubble bubble from puig. zero gravity also makes a good windscreen. don't know much about ones with the color you want. i'll see if i can find any.
gsxcorey 12-07-2009, 02:22 PM puig blacks out all of their screens down behind the guage cluster to hide the back of it. their screen is .5mm thicker then zero gravities so it's more sturdy. puig's dark smoke model doesn't have the logo on the front of the screen. the black may or may not have the logo on the front of the screen. the other colors from puig have the logo on the front of the screen. the black/cf are not transparent. the dark smoke at times can have a purplish tint to it (not many do, but it's possible).
zero gravity has the best clarity by a long shot, but this is also because it's .5mm thinner then puig. none of their screens have a logo on the front and they are all transparent. their dark smoke is always a true dark smoke as well.
Hope this helps ;)
r3x1mu5 12-07-2009, 02:40 PM thanks for the info corey :cheers op, couldn't find any that fade from black to red. interested in solid red?
SpidermanSS 12-07-2009, 03:26 PM Puig is a great choice... :fact I've got a Dark Smoke closeout priced at TOBEFAST (http://www.tobefast.com) if you are interested. We ran the same screen on our 03 R6

guess puig makes a black to red, didn't know that.
upbak 12-07-2009, 03:52 PM +1 on the Puig. I even went with the regular dark smoke (not DB) and it looks sick

phillycheese917 12-07-2009, 05:03 PM thanks for all the info! The black to red looks pretty nice. I think I might go with that one.

Which one do you prefer?
Flying Pig 12-07-2009, 10:58 PM Sorry, slightly off topic, but what do you mean by your bike hit another car..? :dunce:
Did someone back into your bike? Did it tip over at an angle?
I've been in 2 crashes, and although my windcreen has hairline cracks in it, its still one solid piece.. :sing
phillycheese917 12-08-2009, 04:31 AM I dont know exactly what happened to the bike? The parking garage was very full so I am assuming someone tried to park there hit my bike it tipped over and hit the car next to it. I had my handle bars locked so from what it looked like the windscreen was one of the first things that hit the car next to it. Also my windscreen had a few cracks in it already so I think that was just enough to finish it off.
r3x1mu5 12-08-2009, 11:41 AM OK...that rex is hot...mmmm...
why thank you chicky :D
j/p it'd look really good on your bike :fact
thanks for all the info! The black to red looks pretty nice. I think I might go with that one.
glad i could be of service, post up pics once you get that thing on.
thatr6chick 12-08-2009, 01:36 PM OK...I've decided that I want that red screen BAD!!! Now I can't find anybody who actually sells it! If you find one...PLEASE let me know.
SpidermanSS 12-08-2009, 01:48 PM The importer we deal with at Puig didn't bring any red into the US for 2009 :(
thatr6chick 12-08-2009, 01:51 PM The importer we deal with at Puig didn't bring any red into the US for 2009 :(
So...does that mean there are none in the US, or that you just don't have any?
SpidermanSS 12-08-2009, 02:16 PM We have two outlets for them in the United States and neither has reds for your bike.. :( Sorry
thatr6chick 12-08-2009, 02:34 PM OK...just placed my order with www.redtagmotorsports.com. It was more expensive than the other colors ($90 with shipping), but I WANTED it! Got order confirmation, but don't know if they actually have it. Tried to call, but they have already closed for the evening. I'll update on any developements for those interested.
imdajon 12-08-2009, 02:36 PM Does anyone have the BLACK puig screen? If so how do you like it? I was thinking about getting the Dark Smoke but I don't wanna take chances with the purplish tint. Does anyone have pics of the BLACK screen on an 09 Raven r6?
r3x1mu5 12-08-2009, 02:40 PM hey chicky, post up some pics once you get it.

http://www.redtagmotorsports.net Never heard of them, but they're the only one I could find on google that actually had the red on their website...we'll see if they actually have it in stock now!
If you're going with the black or smoke, call TJ at Riders Discount 866.931.6644 ext 817. I think you'll be pleased with the prices he gives you. Make sure you mention that you're a forum member.

Thank you for the info :)
gsxcorey 12-09-2009, 05:49 PM that's like asking me if i like akra or leo. Honestly they are both top dogs. If i wanted a clear or a dark smoke i would go with zero gravity. For smoke or any other color? pick your poison as you can't go wrong with either.
Which one do you prefer?
zero gravity does have the fluorescent blue as well as normal blue and normal red. the fluorescent blue is kinda cool. very hard to describe though other then only in certain types of light and angles can you tell it's blue, other then that it will look mostly clear. then puig has the cf look which zero gravity doesn't offer along with the black.
zero gravity does offer a red though if you guys are looking for a red...
Sedoi 12-09-2009, 06:43 PM I have a dark smoke Puig, wouldn't have any other.
