Not sure what sort of bike you have got but the guys at http://www.bikestore.co.nz/ sorted me out a good quality one for the SV for about the same money as the ones on trade me, by worht an email.

Some of the screens off trade me I have seen people buy have been quite thin and brittle.

They crack VERY easily. The more expensive ones are way more flexible I believe.

Bought one, no problems so far, although worth mentioning that shape was slightly deformed

95 for stock shape screen, 120 for double bubble

just cut the trademe crap and went round to his place and picked up a screen plus tank pad. he had some cheap rotors etc. asian guy in new house in quiet suburb with ALOT of stuff in his garage (including a nice sportsbike).

be aware all the branded stuff he had he admitted to be fake/counterfeit goods

I got a double bubble for my old fireblade from ebay hong kong NZ$32 delivered to my door in 3 working days. Was pretty good not as thin as some that I have seen. Only problem was when fitted one side showed a slight gap.. but at 32 bucks can't really complain.

be $40 maybe $50 by the time it arrives, but should be of reasonable quality


(can't find one for a gsx though)

i know 3 people that have brought cheap iridium screens, and have had parts of their dashes melt due to them basically becoming a giant magnifying glass.
