That was a serious suggestion LP. Not often you get one from me

Not sure how reliable gaffa tape is and if it is in a high pressure area then it may not hold. I'm guessing you're not gonna spend 500miles pootling

actually the screen seems pretty stable before gaffering Pete, unless I take hold of it and flap it around. The crack is pretty close to the edge so nowhere to drill for the most part. I gaffered it yesterday and went to the BP meet at the tap. 100 odd miles (with slight detour) and seemed rock solid. Gave it a work out on the motorway to, at real world speeds (ahem) and all was good.

Hi all, Not really got an answer But would too like to know where I could get a screen from. Just bought my first SV, K8 in black and was wondering if it possible to get a red screen. Any thoughts

Don't buy a red screen! IMO.

And, LP, have you got a replacement screen yet?

No, Honda want some more piccies of the crack, but have been using the bike so have not taken any yet. My worry is taking the gaffer tape off to photograph the crack will fubar the screen completely, meaning my bike is not usable. Still waiting for Fabri to get stock.

I'm thinking that may look pretty good as the red seat is there, would have to be iridium (is that the type I am thinking of? and is it possible to get red ones lol).

Do a search for pictures of Regency23's bike - he has a red (ish) iridium screen on a black SV. Or can you post a picture in this thread Mike? (Regency23)

Good thought LP. I was thinking more of the translucent type of screen but Regencys is an Iridium type I think.
