It looks nice, But looks can be deceiving, Iv heard that those off brand screens from eBay are then & have bad fitment.
If you want to truly black out your ride? Get a black Puig, There quality & thick.
I have a black Puig DB on mine & I love it.

I had an ebay screen on my bike for a while. Complete pile of shit. I bought a zero gravity and love it. Puig screens are good as well. One of the members here (monsterZX) had a pretty bad experience with his Puig. Had it for about a week and it cracked and spidered all throughout the screen. Puig did replace it for free though.

I just bought that same screen for my 2011 , it fits fine and gives me the look I wanted without having to spend a lot of money. I've only had it a few days, but so far so good. Im at work now but if you want, I can post up pics of it on my bike. I wouldnt say its the best quality, but it looks like it'll hold up just fine.

My $30 windscreen and $550 fairings (both eBay-bought) make me quite content.

Was going to say, if you only want to change the color, paint the inside of your clear screen black. It will look exactly like the expensive one but cost a whole lot less. If you want to change shapes or want a smoke screen you can still see thru then that's a different story.

I don't like to paint things on my bike. I would rather spend the $20 and be able to change it back to stock if needed. Thanks for all the info guys.
