Came across these on ebay, just wondered peoples opinions whether it is a decent buy or would you just go with a well known brand for £40 more?

they look decent enough i cant imagine it varying in quality too much from a more expensive screen.

i got a black spray can from poundland and sprayed the inside of my original screen and its looks good

3mm thick, high grade PMMA cast thermoformed acrylic sheet? I say go for it. Spend the £40 in the pub.

Hi Tiger,

I'm looking at getting one of these screens, more for wind reduction than aesthetics.

Did you buy one? Any good?

I've bit the bullet and ordered one, will post up pictures once I receive and have fitted for any that would be interested.

Just wish they did a DB for a pointy, would give it a go for £20.

I bought that exact screen on the 16th and its STILL not here, despite being 1st class post. I'll update if it ever turns up.

Here it is. Fits perfectly well, seems to be a slightly better shape than the original for me (a tiny bit taller) good quality.

Hope that helps.

Bums! As SIII says. Hope they get some more in, 20 squids can't be bad.

Yeah, fitted mine and agree, doesn't change any wind resistance but they look the part! Very happy.
