Phil_D Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) i want to buy a smoked windscreen for my CBR and have found one on ebay for under £18 buy it nowhttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CH08D-Windscreen- ... 7C294%3A50Does it mater if the items not e-marked? Will cheaper ones actually be anyworse than something like an airblade screen (cost over £40)?? Edited July 31, 2009 by Phil_D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Personally i dont buy anything from E-Bay from Hong KongThe quality wont be as good which shouldnt be a problem on a screen. I would be more concerned of the fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I agree wth TC in that I'd never buy anything from Hong Kong usually. However this one claims to be from America. Either way they've got good feedback so could be worth a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_D Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 ah ok, one other question - some brands have dark smoked/tint and some have black screens,is there much of a difference between the two? My bikes got a black fairing on the front so i'm after a screen that looks black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I would go for the dark tink, it will show as black because of the lack of light inside of it..and i'd buy UK rather than US of A, just easier to deal with if there's a problem, quicker shipping, damage in transit etc..

Pete Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Mine's got a black screen, was on the bike when I bought it. Not a big problem but would be nice to be able to see through it! So, like Frankie says I'd go for the tinted one as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin the Bear Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 It came with some black screen trim stuff aswell but it loks pretty ghey so i wont bother with that. It helps protect the edge from chipping and alledgedly stops it cutting you in half should it land on you in a spill. Having said that I never bother. Looks fine without.
