Would this screen look good on a SV1000? Link here.

This screen, also you'll note, isn't real carbon fibre, it's carbon fibre look. What if it was real carbon fibre?

Thanks in advance.

Kinda missing the point of being a screen isn't it.

I'm not sure whether carbon could ever be considered cool

(despite my '30 being lashed in it)

Looks absolute shit.

Also, if it was real carbon fibre you've seen how easily the stuff breaks I assume from F1 and things like that. When it breaks it's like a razor. That's the last thing you want coming towards you when something heavy hits your screen.

Hi

CF may be fairly sharp when broken, but the stuff is VERY strong and difficult to break.

That said much of the stuff sold is just tatt sold for cosmetic reasons rather than to actually be lighter and stronger.

All the best

Nothing says 'I don't ride fast enough to need to duck down' like an opaque screen. Laughing

Transparent double bubble screens FTW. That 'carbon effect' stuff is utter filth in my opinion.
