Painted Vs. Puig
Hey all, just bought my first bike about 2 weeks ago and did my first small mod, i've seen some of those Puig windshields but honestly don't like the look so i painted the stock windshield with Krylon Plastic Fusion, just tapped off the edges and went to town. i guess i was just wondering if i was the only one that has painted the windshield?

Re: Painted Vs. Puig
That looks real sharp. Did you paint both sides, or just the inside??

Re: Painted Vs. Puig
Did you use a flat black or a glossy black? It looks shiny in the picture, but could just be the outside of the windshield reflecting.

Re: Painted Vs. Puig
That looks exceptionally good.
 I wouldn't want to give up the ability to see through the screen though.

Re: Painted Vs. Puig
I've painted my windshield. I have the 2004 and now it looks like I have a normal windshield. It's painted on the outside to match the paint I also sprayed on the fairing.

Re: Painted Vs. Puig
Thats a great job. Money much better spent than buying the Puig.
