Hi,
I'm thinking of making a windscreen. 2 questions really,
1. How would it be fitted/mounted?
2. Are there any legalities on tinting?

My bike is a Hyosung Cruise 2 with a round headlight, e.g. image

An example of what I'm after is this
Also, what sort of height would be recommended? Say from the top of the headlight as a reference.

Could make up a bracket that either attatches either side of the headlight, or one that reaches back to where the headlight is bolted on. That's how most screens like that fit.

No issue's on tinting, I'd have thought.. Unless you're going for a BMW C1 jobbie :p

I agree, as long as it's 'just' a wind deflector there's no issue. My Bandit has a totally black one, can't see anything through it, but then it's not in my view so no issue. (Dont' like it for the record but can't afford to replace it)

Mounting kit

Tinting would only be a problem if you are looking through it all the time.

Just pick any black/tinted sportsbike screen used off ebay and cut a round hole in it for the headlight. I made one from a busted Hayabusa screen for my XJ1100. I used two 90-degree bent metal tabs and pop-riveted them to the headlamp bowl and the screen then used a couple of pieces of rod to brace the top edges. Lasted 7000miles.
