Can't decide myself. Got a powerbronze Screen and Covers just in time for the AR :-)

I like the Screen. Im just not sure about the headlamp covers.

The headlight is really dim as well. Not that I ride at night but im not sure if I am happy at the loss of daytime visibilty:confused:

Mmmm, sorry, had to go with uncool for both :( Single colour bike, with same single colour lowers, then same colour screen & lights all just begins to look like a great splodge of ginger. Think it needs breaking up some, as suggested, a smoked screen might look quite nice? Perhaps my view of headlight covers is prejudiced by the huge number of tat applications out there, but I can't help but hold an aversion to all of them :(

Black/smoked screen and light covers would have been my choice. Just too much orange going on for my eye,(sorry) just gives the impression of 2 humungus indicators.

But dont mind me cos I know f*ck all.

Not for me, but it's your bike.

You might want to go the whole hog and spray the mirrors orange as well. ;)

I like both, at least I would if I liked the colour of the bike! So I'd say keep them on.

one of those would possibly grow on me as far as headlight covers go screen good though me thinks;)

Drag it outside into the daylight, and do a pic, its hard to tell in the shed since the light is already orangey inside there.

I like the screen I think... the lights, I would have to see outside.

Took the headlight covers off before going dow to the AE07, Headlights were too dim. Just keeping them off I think.

It's your bike, but as you are after opinions, mine is a big NOOOOOOO ... IMHO screens should be just a 'tint' (light black tint), coloured screens (including dark black) just look gash!! :thumbdown:

Headlamp covers are not only illegal (I think you can get away with if if it is daytime and lights are off, but as you identified you then become invisible) but look carp.

I'd throw BOTH items in the bin before anyone sees them and probably get someone to slap me about a bit for being so sinful in the first place!! :D

your choice mate-

I have headlamp covers as you know -


1. cos i think the lights on a curcy look rubbish uncovered

2. a stray stone could cost me a ruck of money

3. its my bike I will do whatever I want

I think the screen looks ace, i might even buy one for my ginger.

Sorry i cant enthuse about the headlight covers though!

I like it when the lights are off.

Well, I voted for both cool. Before you start throwing rotten tomatoes at me I'll explain. Some colours look crap but that colour on that bike looks cool. I also think that only one cover for either screen or lights would look odd. Both on the other hand looks complete, so although I didn't like the idea to start with I soon warmed to it. Now you got me wondering if they do a blue set! :)

You've got to keep them. The headlight covers look fantastic. Maybe take them off when you need the light, but I would argue that they were legal as yellow.

Need a pic of you on the bike.. with helmet to complete the look ;)

Screen looks cool.... I think you might have to get a switch on those lights so that in the day you can ride without them on and the covers look cool with the lights off. Then at night remove the covers and pop your lights on.

voted screen cool, covers uncool. unless you can work a light switch in there, then both cool
