You can get them for $30+ were there $100+ motorcycle manufacture... all it is is a peace of plastic so i dont see how it could be bad. I just got a $3 tank protector sticker.. were there 20 at the shop and its the same thing..

    dont get me wrong, i do buy ebay windshield for my track bike.....but.....for my street bike, i'd get one that is optically good.
    its the luck of the draw i guess, if you wear reading glasses maybe you will be lucky and get one with your grade.
    if not, then just make sure you park in the shade if you dont want your bike to be burn down...LOL

    insurance company: how did your motorcycle burn down?
    you: ahh....i put a new windscreen on it...

    LOL

    I bought one for my Aprilia and while I haven't mounted it yet, it looks just like any other would. And all the holes line up fine.

    I bought one a while back. Compared to a name brand screen the quality difference is apparent. Mostly in the finishing of the edges and mounting holes.

    But once installed it looks fine. They can be hit and miss on holes lining up perfectly, but that's nothing a drill can't take care of.

    Hit or miss Read the reviews and don't expect it to be a Puig....

    I bought one for my 1100xx, It fit pretty well, optically sucks, and just recently got a crack from a flying rock.

    Plan on buying one at the start of every season if you want it to look good
