Groove, looks very good on a great bike! One question - I have read somewhere that the colored screen bothers the view. Any thoughts om that?

hey you guys :D
I ordered the screen from
http://www.streetfightersbydesign.com/s ... erhome.htm

there in the USA , if you order the screen make "SURE" you specify GSX 650F as my order got confused with a GSF and it meant they sent the wrong screen / i had to return it (another 2 week wait) and more freight cost , then they had to wait to have one made then ship it again ! LONG WAIT !!
it cost me $130 (i think) well worth it ,
But be prepared !!! it really is a pain to remove the original and install the new one , its not a 5 minute job !
its only four screws holding it in and two of them are one the outside ( two minute job ) the other two are concealed inside the fairing and this is where the fun starts :evil: you need to remove the black plastic suround inside the fairing, then remove the instrument panel (it is plugged in so just "carefully pull it out then remove the wiring loom from the instrument panel ( this is also just a plug in type )
NOTE: MAKE sure you draw a quick diagram of what your removing and where all the screw locations are , and when you remove a screw place it on the diagram so that the right screw goes back into the right place (as from memory there are 20 odd screws that need to be removed and they are all different shapes-sizes-and threads !! once all this is done you can now remove the other two screws that hold the screen in place, NOTE: remove these two screws and also remove the two rubber grommets that the screws screw into ( this will make you swear like you haven't sworn in a long time !!) remove the screen -fit the new one and put it all back together,
one thing that i was impressed with is that the new screen and bolt holes all lined up perfectly , no need for re drilling -filling-or any mods , its very very well made.
if all this hasn't put you off , im sure you will be happy with the screen ( I am ) :D

Hi Kafe :D
I don't think the colored screen bothers the view at all , it is more colorful looking through it and it does cast a bluish shadow , but it hasent bothered me at all as far as riding goes :D

Groove, nice screen. Right not the air blast hits me right on the face shield. Does this screen deflect the wind higher and if so, if you had to guess, how much higher?

I'm kind of in the same boat as Applewins.

Don't get me wrong, the stock shield provides more nice, clean, unbuffeted air then any bike I've ever had, but it will get tiring on long tours. I'd love to actually get the wind just up and over my head if possible.
