Default Thinking of getting tinted WS for thunder grey. Which?

I think a tinted (smoke) windscreen would look sweet on the thunder grey bike but I'm not sure which one to get. Puig, Zero Gravity or which shape. Any suggestions?

if you look through your windscreen at all, don't get a Dark Smoke. It's ummm... Dark :lol: I have a Puig and it's decent. Alot of folks seem to like the Zero Gravity though, is personal choice.

I have the Puig light tinted screen which looks great on the Thunder Grey. The dark smoke is almost a painted black look which is too dark IMHO. The double bubble effect makes a big difference at speed with airflow.

Kind of weird... Sparky (previous poster) has been a member for a while with quite a number of posts. Maybe someone stole his account some how and is spamming under his name?!

I've banned the account for now.

Fit is good as would be expected. The two downfalls (one is just my opinion) are:
  • Too expensive... too many other comperable options at less than 1/2 the price
  • The tinted tall BMW screen is a bit too dark...
