Powerbronze make good screens, as do Eagle screens Australia, and War Eagle in South Africa.
This one's a powerbronze dark smoke touring screen

I like the Zero Gravity model, seems to keep the bees and hornets off me okay. Although the touring lip seems like a added bonus.

Shadow, are your reflectors blue? or is it just the flash? It must be a bitch keeping those rim so shiny and white!

Do you find the dark smoked WS too dark?

Just like to say I put a dark smokeZero Gravity ST screen on my bike. Yes, (speaking about Zero Gravity only)their dark smoke isextremely dark, and I could not see the road even in bright sunlight if I ducked behind it. Theydid mention this tome over the phone when I ordered it.But I went with it anyway for the looks, and I don't like ducking down behind the screen anyway. The light smoke is obviously amuch better choicefor that type of riding.

Ohhhhh, I love the Corbin seat!!! I was looking at that on-line one day and I wasnt sure how well the molding would match up colour-wise, but yours looks awesome! How about comfort ?

Yeah, I'll agree with you, the dark WS looks good too.

Anymore pics of your bike.....

Hey Gill, funny you mentioned the molding....I actually just changed the color of the greenmolding, and the light grey areas on the seat, to a steel grey, whichmatches up a little better with thebluish grey plastics. I'll have some pics up tonight.

Personally, I like the stock seat feel better than the Corbin (I have the stock seat also). I just feel I'd like to move a little farther back on the Corbin, but of course, I can't. The stock seat also feels a little higher, which I like. But I'm letting aesthetics win me over, so the Corbin stays.
