Ebay windshields

Post by architect »

Anyone tried one of those $20 black ebay windshields from China/HK? How are they? Fit properly? Thanks.

I think my r6 windshield is one, no problem fitting, I just got the one that sits higher which I did not want, but I don't think that is an option for FZR's.

I got a cheap $20 one in a deal with some Fzr 400 parts.
It did not have the thickened/rolled edge of the original but it fitted the model perfectly and is the same thickness as the stock item.
I would not hesitate to buy one; but ensure you confirm it is for the correct model, many sellers use generic photos and think all 400/600models use the same screen.

I just got a $20 in from China for my Ninja 500. Haven't mounted it yet, but it looks like... a windshield.
