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 *** 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?

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 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.
