I got a ZeroGravity Double Bubble for around $60. You can get it clear or dark smoke. If you want 'grey', you'll have to paint it. What you do is tape off the edges and the front then paint the inside. Has a really neat look to it. I'm sure you can find a HOW-TO somewhere.

I got a Puig dark smoke. They have a lighter version which should give you the grey color that you want. When I was looking at windscreens, I read that Zero Gravity have a tendency to crack easily and that was the reason why I went with Puig. I spent 80 bux on it. Just use google shopping to get you the lowest price, I'm sure there are lower prices out there. Half of the time you can find a coupon or promo code and save extra.

Here's the one i bought and I'm very happy with it. $81 shipped.. It's tinted, but I can see through it without problem at night.

Call me dumb, but how often do you guys actually look through the screen, and not just right over it? Mine's black and when I'm driving, I just keep my head high enough to see over it.

My video camera looks through it regularly, that's why I had to go with clear.

Why do you have a video camera on your bike? And I meant with your eyes?

I got one for around $40 off ebay. It was just fine. Not quite the quality as stock but for the price it was a good buy. I haven't had any cracking issues. It shouldn't crack unless you lay it down or something like that.

Actually the video camera needs to be on the back to get good video of the cop taking you down after a high speed chase!
