Help Required - What year bike will this screen fit? - SV650.org

12-09-06, 08:27 AM

Quick Question - Can anyone enlighten me as to which year of bike this screen will fit? Seller on ebay is not too sure and I don't have my bike to look at the hole patterns etc.

Cheers.

Also - If anyone can recommend a good double bubble screen for a reasonable price, please feel free to do so. Having seen the bikes at the KillSpills rally, it's time to upgrade!

looks like a curvey

Yup.

Looks Curvy to me too!

I have a pointy and have just upgraded to a new double bubble from intobikes.co.uk, they have a large selection if that helps?

We have an Airblade screen on our curvy, and you would have seen that on Saturday, Mr K.

Iridium ones like ours are around £55 new, the tinted ones around £45.

Cheers Lissa - The info on the forum seems to say that Airblade or Fabbri are the way to go. Given your's and Pete's experience, would you recommend one over th other?

Thanks again.

Can't comment on the Fabbri, but the Airblades seem to do the job. The Iridium ones do tend to scratch though, we're on our second one..................but two in 50,000 miles isn't bad I suppose.

They can be a bit of a fiddle to get on, but once seated properly are absolutely fine.

Love my Fabbri... One of the few designs to actually get windtunnelled.

I didnt like my airblade. Id go for the fabbri or a powerbronze

I've got a powerbronze on my curvey, I'm very pleased with it. Liz has a Fabri on her pointy which I also like to. Personally I'd pick either of those.
