@funkiershit Thanks! If I could change something about the screen, I would. I wish I could design my own screen from scratch and have a factory make it for me or something. Then I would be really really satisfied. :)
Nice job! I wound up cutting down the generic fly screen that I installed on my 919 two times. After removing the first inch and a half or so, the wind blast was hitting right at the base of my helmet. Pretty noisy. I took off another inch or so, and everything's peachy!
wow, dude. That looks amazing! You've got the right idea about opening a gear shop. I was thinking of doing the same in Cottonwood, AZ. There is nothing up in Northern AZ without going all the way to Flagstaff or down to Phoenix. We have a Kawi dealer that usually has nothing what so ever for gear and accessories. Should open a Cycle Gear where you are!
I was waiting to cringe and I was disappointed....not that we were all waiting for another another seat modification to add to the youtube urban mythology.
@britex3186 I have a Zero Gravity Double Bubble windscreen that I normally use for great wind protection. I purchased this screen from eBay because I thought it was a stock windscreen. I like the looks of the stock windscreen. Unfortunately the one they advertised was actually this monstrous Givi that I did not need. So I just decided to make it look the way I wanted it to look.
Excellent work mate, that really came up trumps!!! I'll be interested in your feedback about how the Givi performs at speed once you get on the road again. There's a Givi option for the 919 I might consider so your feedback will be most welcome. Cheers and well done!!!
Good thing u never travel cuz short windscreens make the bike more turbulent. ;P *runs* Just kidding sir. Seriously tho, im really freakin impressed! After that seat fiasco ;P i was pretty worried when i started watching this but u really were like all super custom t-rex toast on this one man. Really seriously legit slick looking job my friend! I can see it now, Toasts custom motorcycle shop and dealership since theres none in williamsturd.
@woodenchairs Lolol very very funny. This went a lot better than my seat modification, although less practical. Man...I think I really would like to open a dealership/gear store. They don't have any here!!
@ToastToGo do it man. Get a business loan and do it. Then i can move to somewhere warmer and work for u :P Just think, no boss, doing something youd enjoy, and no more school :D
wow looks real clean! All you guys with VFRs are making me imagine selling my bike and getting a NEW 07-08 with 0=miles from a certain dealership. BUUUT not going to happen lol
good idea! good job!

looks sweet dude. If the scratches aren't too deep, you might be able to buff them out.

@alehax27 They aren't deep at all. I'm hoping to refinish it.
ToastToGo 1 year ago
That looks really nice but I'm curious how it will protect you from the wind, without that lip you might get extra buffeting near your collar.
