Want to change the screen on my Candy Sonoma K7 and wondered if light or dark would look better?

Stick a bin bag behind the screen you have got on then it will give you an idea of what it looks like in black before you spend the cash ;)

I think smoked would look really nice.

After a long think I have decided to go for the dark tint. Will post a snap when it's on. Can anyone recommend a good priced exhaust? Don't want a stubby as I can't stand them! The fuel one in the post above looks nice. Got a budget of around £150 tops.

Excuse my poor editing, can't decide between stainless or carbon?

I think carbon would better match the frame, wheels, and new dark screen.

I prefer full length! My view is that twins sound big, so the cans should be big too! Save the stubbies for those little inline-4's! :D

Inline 4's with stubbies scream waaayyy too much. I like my slightly shorter exhaust :) happy medium

is that the dark version of the first screen? and how much better than the standard is it for keeping the wind off?

It seems to make a fair bit of difference so far, the only difference from standard is the lip at the top which seems to do a good job of pushing the air up and over my head. Been out today on it but only to around 60mph. Good price and easy to fit.
