Windscreen Powerbronze ADVICE

Recommended Posts

Wondering if anyone has installed one of the Powerbronze windscreens on their 8th Gen? I like the stock profile, but would like the dark tint. What I'm wondering about is the fit and finish of the windscreen. I just don't want a flimsy screen up there that looks cheap.

Fitted a Powerbronze (light tint) to my 8gen and I'm very happy with quality, looks and fit.

But your 2005 vfr is a 6gen!

 

Note - Strange reflections on the screen and bike are from being positioned very close to an old weather board house.

Sorry for the late reply, only just saw your post. Have had mine fitted for a couple of years now, (dark tint) very happy with the looks and quality of it. Still looks good, doesn’t seem to scratch easily. Not a massive difference from stock though.

I run a tinted visor 99% of the time and don't really ride at night anymore, but when I'm running on something I need clarity for (like track days...eek!) I always go with a clear windscreen. Most of the bikes I buy have dark tint or painted...and I sell them! What came on one of the R6 bikes...really.

I wear dark tint visors nearly all the time too....    Most of my bikes are clear or the OEM light tint.  But if I'm on a bike that has a dark windscreen and I'm tucked, I'll usually let my eyesight be just above the (short) windscreen.  I'm not chin bar bouncing on the tank too many times...
