I call it a sleep aid. Mmmm turkey...
Why do people paint, sticker, or install dark windscreens on sports bikes?

People follow the trends & this is in.
I hope these trends stay in the motorcycle and car world. I'd hate to bastardize a perfectly good canoe just to be current no pun intended of course.
How long will this "trend" last for? It's been around for the last 15yrs.
It kind of fits in with the guys that ride at night with a dark tinted visor.
I've blacked out my windscreen on both bikes I have had. I used PlastiDip on the underside but I find my windscreen now just as useful as it was before. Doesn't decrease my field of vision what so ever since I am never that deep in the tuck to require it. 100% for the looks... and it looks good.

15 years? I had my first tinted screen on a GSXR1100 in 1992. And I wasn't the first customer.
He uses a product called "Parked Bike"
Jokes aside, I just discovered WD40 grease and oil remover, it is awesome for wheels and everything else.Talking about looks, never had a second look at any parking lot with my GSXR 750, parked at Royal with my FZ09 once and I got 2 people amazed by the bike.... wait until I put the tinted screen and stickers on it

Put on Tecate stickers. To sidewalk commandos it sounds like Ducati but it's actually a Mexican beer. Win/win.

my factory screen was light tint, I changed it to a dark tint. I find it offers quite a bit more shade so I don't get a sunburn
