I heard the same thing, but I find it hard to believe that the dark smoke would do that.

It's prob. more the shape then the color of the screen.

I've heard a few stories in the last few years about melting instruments. Happpens mostly with aftermarket screens. Sometimes from sun shining down through the screen and being focused, and one melting caused by lower angle sunlight reflecting from the inside of a screen. These are freak happenings, but the sun is fusing 600million tons of hydrogen into helium evry second and is only 93milloin miles away. Even a soft focus can make a surprisingly hot area.

But that's specific to DBs though, or so I'm told...

Just mounted the Zero Gravity sport touring in light smoke. Looks awesome, plus for once it actually improves my ride over 50 MPH. The air used to smack me in the chin. Now it just barely hits the top of my helmet. Would post photos if I knew how.
