So split down the middle on these. One moment I'm all 'yeah' I'm gonna get me one of these, it'll look ace. Then it's NO! You dirty slag, you whore, it'll look hideous.

So, what do YOU reckon?

There is a split down the middle, just like Iridium visors,

If it's covered in finger prints n bug splats, tey both look cack.

If an Iridium screen is on a bike of mainly solid colour, I don't think they look bad, however on say a red/white/blue cbr600f (I saw one on one of these) I don't think they look right, just a bit tacky.

On a solid blue SV650s for examply they look good.


Gunna vote for not tacky

I like it, wouldn't have any myself though due to the cleaning and maintaince of it.

Yep, agree with the above. Whatever you like can't be a bad thing... I think they are bit poncey and a bit dangerous, so I voted for naff.

I got an iridium double bubble for my bike and it looks good IMO, got a visor aswell as its darker in sunlight etc!

Like someone has already said it depends on the bike and colour etc!

TBH i think mine looks good as the kwak is Green and deep purple so the purply/pink in the iridium goes well with the bike!

You've gotta have a mint paint scheme for it to look cool, tinted or smoked would look better

i think it depends on what bike youve got, including which colour, some bikes i look at and think wow, others i have to look away quick

Have to be a spot on colour match to look good....which they rarely are in which case they look sh*te!

Prefer black or smoked personally. Thumbs Up
