    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Cheap windscreen kits on eBay - any experience?

  • Thread starter Thread starter boingk
  • Start date Start date
I spent about $10 and got a piece of perspex off eBay locally, spent $5 on a piece of scrap aluminium, and made a fly screen... lasted me about 18 months 'til one bracket fatigued and broke due to vibration a few weeks back on our GSR/Katana ride. Making up new brackets now...

I know that doesn't really answer your question though...
 
It is rather difficult to see that screen in the picture, but if it's anything like the one pictured on the bike, it is similar to one that my son has on his 650L.

Click on the link in my sig to see a picture of "Rat Bagger". It is a screen that is much smaller than I usually run, but it fits well, works well enough and it was free. :D

The biggest thing to watch for on those screens is the mounting system. Some have a only pair of clamps that attach to the handlebars, others will have a four-point mounting system that has braces that reach down to the fork legs. Obviously, the four-point mount is MUCH sturdier.

.
 
Cheers Steve, that sounds like what I'm after. I think the kit only has handlebar mounts but I can always work around a solution if I need.

I'll pull the trigger on a kit and see how it goes.
