Windscreen suggestions

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

Re: Windscreen suggestions

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.

Re: Windscreen suggestions

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

Re: Windscreen suggestions

Puig is a great choice... I've got a Dark Smoke closeout priced at TOBEFAST if you are interested. We ran the same screen on our 03 R6

+1 on the Puig. I even went with the regular dark smoke (not DB) and it looks sick
