...and it looks AMAZING. I love it. I know, i know, some say it will fade in a few months.. Well, if it does, that is a good excuse to buy an aftermarket one! I took my time and it came out great. I used nearly a whole can of spraypaint, but i think i got more on the newspaper around the screen than the screen itself. let me know what ya think

Very nice. I've had mine sprayed for 2 years now with no sign of fading.

I know $70 is a good chunk of change to blow on plastic but my Puig Dark smoke looks just as good and you can still see through it. I just figured my time and effort vs buying a aftermarket one. Plus I sold my stock one for $35.00 so it didn't cost that much after all. But anyways yours looks good and you did it yourself so props :cheers

I painted mine on my '01 R6 and loved the way it came out. I rarely tucked in behind it completely anyways. Also imo, looks-wise I think the regular windscreen looks better than db, but db has more functionality obviously. Nobody even noticed I had painted it unless I told them.

Looks good.
I did my 03 and it doesn't fade at all. My 06 wind shield is drying as I type :)
The aftermarket ones don't look as nice (dbl bbl look is dated) and who looks through their windshield anyways?
Plus it looks better at night since it keeps the ambient light out of the cockpit

lol @ dbl bbl look being dated. it's not for looks, it's for forcing the air up and over the rider.

I fully grasp the functionality of it.... all I'm saying is that it looks like shit.
