Default Tinted powerbronze screen fitted.

i was looking at replacing the standard screen on my K5 S with a tinted one but all i could find as a replacement was the double bubble versions. i was not gone on the look of double bubble screens and not being bothered with windblast from the OEM screen, i was looking for a tinted standard SV650S screen that proved very hard to find. After a long search on the interweb i discovered that powerebronze do a tinted standard screen for my bike. i tried researching this type of screen but was not able to find one review and reviews of powerbronze were mixed. i decided to take a chance on it and recieved it in the post this morning. initial impressions were good! seemed very solid and a good level of tint (opted for dark tint). took my old screen off and replaced it. it fit into the front fairing pretty easily and all the holes seemed to line up. replaced all the screws with the only difficult part being putting the rubber grommets back in, all in all taking 15-20mins. its very solid in place and fits about 90% as well as the OEM screen. i was worried that it might need cutting from some of the reviews i found of powerbronze but thankfully it didnt. i just need to fit the rubber strip on the edge of the screen and im done! what do you think?

That looks spot on matches really well with the darker blue and black theme on the rest of the bike
