Windscreen Blacked Out

[HIGHLANDER]

That looks extremely sharp! My question is, how durable is the paint on that type plastic?

Very durable, I ran a blacked out shorty for two + years when I had my 04... no chipping or flaking at all.

I currently have my lower windscreen 'blacked out' using tape to cut down on light reflection from the headlights and Solteks. Once I get the right height determined, I'll be painting too!

Probably helps with variegated color reflections coming from the rear too?

What is this word? variegated

Oh, the tape was useless..

I think that looks great!

Thanks for all the compliments guys! :yahoo:

It is very durable plus it helps that I paint the inside of the screen. I have seen people attempt to paint the outside of their screen but rocks chip away at the paint.

Warchild did that to his 04 and I think the same one is on the 03.

Yep.... still use it to this day.....

That screen resides on my current '03 FJR1300, HirschJäger edition:

....or how about some carbon fiber cans!? :dribble:

Great lookin' bike, Bogie :thumbsup:

 

[ponyfool]

Warchild, are your "Yamaha FJR" decals also on the inside of the screen under the paint? Or did you paint the screen, then put the decals on the outside of the screen?

Looks great! A buddy did that on his Yellow Ninja zx10r and it looks great too

 

[rockiedog2]

Most Excellent!!! :yahoo:
I may do that with a cut-down stock screen. Won't look as good as it does on your Raven though. Maybe I can find a color matched blue paint to do mine in...

Thanks.....I'd like to find a shorter screen too.

A shorter screen is as easy to find as your saber saw.

I have a stock windshield in good shape that could be cut down if anybody is interested...cheap. PM me.
