Am I right or am I wrong? - please help!

[Feasty]

Have a look at the 2 attached pictures and tell me which is right, I think I've done a beautiful job with Paint on these!

It's with regards to a bit of a dispute with a seller on Ebay I'm having, I've asked for one part and he's sent me something else - however it comes down to the naming of the parts, I think I'm right but so does he. I'm not gonna say just yet what I've asked for and what I've got so as not to bias your choice.

I'd call it neither, its a bikini fairing or fly screen isn't?

[Finglonga]

Neither its a fly screen.

Pic 2 is most correct although I wouldnt call it a front panel it's a bikini fairing.

Its a bikini fairing and a screen, well thats how i would lable it so my vote would be pic 3

I've never heard of a bikini fairing, I have heard of a fly screen though. I wouldn't have called it any of those things though, I always get mixed up when naming stuff and trying to order things on the phone.

I'd end up asking for "that thing on the front that goes round the light..." Or " The grey windscreen type thingy..."

That's not a bikini fairing, it's a fly screen.

Pic 2 is closest though.

A bikini fairing is like a fairing on a Hornet 600 S, or the earlier fazers.

All these flaming terms, couldn't it just be made simpler!!

Well it's taught me a lesson anyway, I think it can safely be said that me thinking Pic1 was right makes me very wrong!


Basically, saw someone was breaking an SLR650 on Ebay (item no. 140266546920) and I asked for the 'windshield' and we agreed a price of £10 inc p&p... well I think you can pretty much guess the rest, what arrived most definitely wasn't what I was expecting! And now he's refusing to give me my money back, plus the front panel is in bits so I can't buy that off him either...grrr. What a waste of £10, still entirely my own fault - just annoying...

I would have sent you what looks like the small tinted perspex screen.

Should have got a pic first, lesson learnt though.

Lol, lesson definitely learnt!!

I just assumed by the fact the windshield just looks like a small plastic panel and sits on the front of the bike - it was called a front panel...
and that the whole plastic thing on the front of the bike that surrounds the front light is there to deflect wind... therefore calling it a windshield.

Daft eh!
