    Smoke windscreens

    I am thinking about one of these for my 07 R1.  Any good feedback or recommendations?  Puig vs..factory?  At 6'1 and barely able to get behind the screen will this affect my visibility or riding at all?

    Thanks

    smoke = good for posing it up at the bux

    clear = good for gangsta riding when head needs to be tucked behind screen

    How does it fit...is it harder to install than  factory?  on the 07 there are no bolts just clips that you must slide the screen into.

    Speaking of windscreens... do any 04-05 GSXR owners have their stock windscreen just laying around? Embarrassed

    I don't think you could see threw a smoked windscreen with a tinted visor on your helmet, but I've never tried so I could be wrong...

    On my last R-1, I had a dark smoked Puig double bubble.  I was very happy with it.  Plus I have dark smoke visors on my helmets.  Yeah night time riding is a lotta fun. CoolIndifferent Seriously tho, I would go ahead and rock the Light Smoked on your bike.  You can still see and sport a dark visor if you want.  Puig makes great windscreens!   Yes

    No, no..........Its pronounced R1
