Wind Screen buying advice
 
Hey folks, I've been comparison shopping for wind screens for a while and I was wondering if anyone had experience buying from ebay. I'm kind of a cheep ass and hate paying full price for anything and I just can't see that there would be a huge difference between a $90-$100 windscreen and a $30-$50 ebay windscreen. The only thing that really concerns me with buying the el-cheep-o's is longevity. Is there any real difference there?

Yes. The holes line up.

You can buy name brand screens on ebay and get good deals. I would stay away from the no-name ones. they will look like crap, not line up and not be of the same quality material.
Just keep an eye out. I got a new Puig DB screen on ebay for $40 shipped.
Just gotta wait for the deals.

Style doesn't matter a whole lot as far as functionality goes. I have a double bubble on there now but its so old and cracked it just looks awful. Its more for cosmetics at this point. I like the DB but I would not be opposed to a regular style. I know somebody posted about a "touring" screen for sale but they said it was ugly and I have no idea wht it looked like. The only particular I am looking for is something in a dark smoke tint.

I myself am a cheap ass so I got my el-cheap-o dark tinted db windscreen from an ebay company called t1concept it was like $30 ish shipped from hong kong.. it got here fairly quickly it lined up and installed with no problems and it looks awesome.. why pay 90+ dollars?

I did the same thing, bought a jobber DB screen from Hong Kong for 30 bucks shipped and it works great, its solid, made well and all the hole lines up perfectly. I think I even bought from the same seller.

I have a touring windscreen that I am thinking of selling. I bought it from someone here and though it is not "ugly" it does what it is supposed to do. I am sure that I can snap some pics this weekend.

PM me if you want to talk about it.

I bought a knock off double bubble for my Katana awhile back and while I am sure it was high in led it worked as advertised.
