Default Buying a windscreen is a waste of $$$

Here our some pics of some of the winter projects I am doing. I used a black spray paint with metallic flakes and a clear coat on the windscreen, which in my opinion looks a lot better than 95% of the ones you can buy for $60 plus. I used gutter covers for the fairings and I think it has turned out well.

By the way the tape around the windscreen is where i was keeping the edge clear. Everything cost me about $17 with supplies being: Black paint with metallic flakes, clear coat, sandpaper, gutter covers, and glue.

Mine was cheaper. I know it fits perfectly so I dont have to worry about making it fit. I have heard many people say that the windscreens they buy dont have a very good fit. Mine is still the stock one with a perfect fit.

Hey pretty cool, but I agree with PlayfulGod. I like to see thru my windshield, especially if you are going down the interstate and want to tuck under it. More power to you if you like it.

I usually can't crane my neck to get down under my ZG Double Bubble. So in that respect, it was a waste. Glad I didn't pay full price thanks to zgoutlet.

May work for you, but I like my ZG DB on my F4i, fit was perfect and it lessened the wind buffeting on my helmet, which is what I was after, something a repaint wouldn't do.

I haven't really noticed a diff stock vs DB. I momentarily switched between the two. Logically the DB should win, as it's taller and I'm 6'1".I just didn't notice.
