I'll go w/ the last 3 pics. oh, wait... what were we talking about?

Snake · September 21st, 2010, 11:52 AM

Like I said go with the red. A red windscreen plus you on the bike... totally hot!

dubojr1 · September 21st, 2010, 12:01 PM

I'm loving the "SE" look on the red. I say go for the whole package.

Blackwidow · September 21st, 2010, 12:11 PM

thanks Gary. i'm not digging the red as much.

dubojr1 · September 21st, 2010, 12:14 PM

Smoked it is!

you're welcome. well the red is unique and it isn't for everybody.

there was another thread/post that i remember seeing, but i can't find it.

it actually doesn't look too bad in the pictures i posted, but i am pretty conservative so i would personally go with a smoked...

Blackwidow · September 21st, 2010, 12:21 PM

it looks super cool at night, but it looks pink in the day light...

want1sobad · September 21st, 2010, 12:34 PM

you may no longer need these......but i said i would do them. i vote smoke/diy black

dubojr1 · September 21st, 2010, 12:36 PM

I repeat.... Smoked it is!

Anteraan · September 21st, 2010, 12:39 PM

Mine isn't a Puig, it's a ZG, but when I first conceptualized it, I wanted a dark smoke. Then I saw it on a bike, and it was wayyyy too dark. It was, well, it stood out, but not in a good way. It was like a piano black, didn't work with the bike - darker than the tires, black side panels, etc. The light smoke is perfect for me. And at 6'2", never will I look through the screen while riding.

And like Snake, I have had zero issues with my ZG. I love it, so much so that when I gave Kawi feedback on those surveys, I stated that a DB windscreen should be standard. Without it, the 250 was unridable for me at 60mph+.

Blackwidow · September 21st, 2010, 12:44 PM

thanks Vince!!!!!!!!! Yup, i agree...dark smoke it is...

Very true and as addy126 would say "pink stinks". j/k

Now that I see the two colors side by side I have changed my opinion to the smoke or black.

Ryosen11 · September 21st, 2010, 01:51 PM

I prefer clear or light smoke.

Darling Ninja · September 21st, 2010, 02:07 PM

My vote goes to light smoke. I don't really dig the red on red, but if you like it go for it!

addy126 · September 21st, 2010, 05:15 PM

Yay for the smoke..... and with your own dark features... will set it off just as sexy as those pictures above! Also remember, if you want to part out your aftermarket parts later on, red screens are hard to get rid of. The guys jump better on the smoke, blacked out type screens. Just an easier sell all-round.

Yes Rick... remember the pink issues... so not "cool"!

That red on red screen just doesn't look cool at all, it rather cheapens it imo.

TrueFader · September 21st, 2010, 05:54 PM

either light or dark smoke. you want to be able to see through it still.

plutonium · September 21st, 2010, 06:50 PM

My ninja is red and I installed the dark smoke Puig windscreen last week. Love it.

do you mind sharing a picture? Now I'm thinking either dark smoke or black. lol

Rosie · September 22nd, 2010, 08:17 PM

I vote for the dark smoke! My hubby has the ZG one on his and it looks really good. He hasn't had any issues with melting instruments either

00NissanNinja · September 22nd, 2010, 09:20 PM

I got a smoked ZG double bubble windscreen, I like being able to see through it a little bit but that is just how I am.

plutonium · September 23rd, 2010, 04:09 PM

BlackWidow, hope these are helpful:

Talonne · September 25th, 2010, 10:48 AM

I have a Puig light smoke on mine and prefer it to the look of a dark smoke. But then again, my bike is black. I do like the contrast of dark smoke + red.

I felt like there was a bit of manhandling needed in order to get the holes on the windscreen to match up with the holes on the bike. It wasn't a "perfect" fit, but it was workable.
