i am new to this forum. i just bought my first bike its a 2001 cbr 929rr in aswome shape . any ways i was wondering what were your guys input on my windscreen problem. i have a few choices to try i want a tinted windscreen but i am contumplating on either painting it or tinting it. i know tint never comes out perfect and i dont know how long it will last but paint is permanet and it soild black i know a new one is around 100 or so bcuks. so i dont know input is greatly needed has anyone tried either let me know ty.

 

You can paint it, but it will look cheesy. It does tend to flex a bit, so unless you use a paint made for Lexan (avail at hobby stores that do RC stuff) it will crack all up. Your best bet is to get a nice double bubble one that is tinted already.

And....Welcome to the forum!

 

i never thought of the paint crackin and thinkin of the tie and meterial it would be better just to buy a new one or used ty for ur input and the welcome glad to be h

 

ur probly right about it lookin crappy and have to uy secial paint im not a prof painter by anymeans. iv ben thinking after time and meterial im better off just buying a new one and savin the old one for a spare. ty for the welcome glad to be here aswome foum..

 

I painted mine about 2 years and 30,000kms ago with Krylon fusion rattle can ($4 and made to go directly on plastic) and it haven't had one problem.
If you paint the inside then it will never chip and come out looking perfect no matter how bad you put it on.

I would highly recommend it.

 

I wouldn't....

But paint it on the inside and it will look great and last forever. The windshield doesnt flex enough to worry about cracking. The body work flexes way more and the piant holds fine.

 

Another thing you might want to think about is your inspection if you haven't done it. I had a solid chrome windscreen that wouldn't pass inspection because you couldn't see through it. Just a thought, but I would def. go with a tint

 

Or for some of use that actually like to be able to look through it.

 

Mine came w tinted screen. I liked th fact that I could see thru it but it comes down to preference.

 

yea i dont kow i wana tint it the yellow silver tint because i have the bumblebee color
scheme and i think it would look aswome. but i cant find it and just a yellow paint would look silly and everyone has the black tinted screens. i like to do stuff that isnt dont on every bike i like to be diffrent. if anyone knows where u can get yellow silver tint let me know ill try that i guesstint u can take off easy with paint its alot harder ty to everone
