Where's the best place to get a replacement windscreen for an MC22 and what colour do you think would look good on a tricolour MC22? I'm thinking a blue tint..

Does the tint matter? Do you ever actually look through the windscreen when riding? Or is it just for decorative reasons?

Is something like this OK? It looks VERY blue lol..

Is the windscreen easy to install?

Cheers, Al

EDIT: Ozzymotorcyclefairings, im sure you'll read this. So can you PM me a price please

And any pics you may have of windscreens on a tricolour MC22..

I would go for the clear screen. if it gets too cold I duck behind it
screen should be easy to install

Yeah, I'd get clear or a light tint. Stay away from coloured screens. They tend to look ghey.

Yeah i looked at some pics and coloured screens look very gay. Ill either get clear or a light tint.

The guy that broke my windscreen is paying for it, so is it worth ordering a decent one form a bike shop, or just get one from eBay? All it really does is deflect wind, after all.. There aren't better quality ones that do anything special, are there?..

a guy called el-fakih on ebay sells them and is situated in Greenacre or Maroubra in Sydney.
I've bought from him before, and saved quite abit on postage. His goods seem to be decent quality aswell.

depending on how tall you are a double bubble screens will deflect the air higher up so it goes over your helmet
at 100km/h the original screen on my zx6r sent straight into my helmet so I got a double bubble to stop that

I've got a light smoke on the racebike. I'm wishing that I'd gone clear now.

Why's that?

At a guess because you're tucked in alot when racing so have to look through the screen more and a clear one makes more sense. Screens are a cosmetic item on a road bike. A race bike I'm guessing needs to be practical.

I'd love to go racing.....

When I tracked the 954, it used to shit me to tears having a black screen, I just could tuck in because I couldn't see where I was going (it was black black!). I'll never be making that mistake again. Clear all the way on any bike you might track... Tint just for looks on a road bike.

Got mine for free when I ordered a new kit in custom colours from a company in Perth... i like the dark tint... Even tucked dont really look through it but someone told me if you can't see through it, it's considered illegal? Could be wrong tho..[hr]

I'd say it would be true because a) you cant tint your front window on a car at all, and b) everything is illegal these days
