Default PICS: BLACKOUT WINDSHIELD

My new windshield just arrived in the mail yesterday . I picked this up on ebay for about $30 and I am very happy with the new look. It doesn't have any stickers or logos and it is brand new. It is just a litte taller than the stock one which I happen to like because the stock windshield just doesn't block the wind very well. Here are before and after pics, let me know what everyone thinks:

When compared to riding a standard with no windscreen, my zero gravity does a lot even when not tucked.

just a little heads up guys, if you wanna save money and not buy a windscreen. It's very easy to just take off the stock windscreen and paint the inside of it. I used a Krylon Fusion spray paint and it's been on my bike for 4 years. Make sure to paint the inside only that way the honda logo and everything can still be seen through the windscreen. Plus the clear front helps to make it look more professional.

Don't waste your money buying a windscreen when u can get a 5 dollar can of spray paint and do it yourself real easily.

That's EXACTLY what I did the other night, even used the same spray paint (Fusion). I think it was a very nice change to the bike, especially for $5.

I was going to do this but my stock windshield has some sort of weird hazy area on the right side, like someone tried to buff it or put a chemical on it and it isn't fixable I don't think, plus if you have a bike that is a few years old you are going to have some scratches on your stock one. All in all $30 is cheap, it looks great, and I am very happy with it.
