but then I was like...

here's the before pic

and the after pic

I only went out for a couple miles and I can say that the new screen changes the flow of air around the helmet making it less turbulent in turn making my ride quieter, should be good on long rides, we will see when it gets a bit warmer.

My god that screen looks ugly

I was actually going to get it until I saw this, im not too sure anymore...

Do you have any more pics from other angles? (front/side)
I'm thinking it might be the angle that makes it look worse than it actually is.

lol, you're ugly

in my opinion any screen for the hyper motard is ugly (this in my opinion) is less ugly than most and for what it's worth the hyper motard in general is (again in my opinion) ugly, I don't buy for looks, I buy for function.

bottom line, to each his own, if you don't like it, don't buy it.

and no, I don't have any more pics.

Yeah, I guess I am ugly....(thx btw)
The Hypermotard however isn't, in my opinion.
Not sure what made you go that defensive, but if I offended you personally in any way I apologize, did you not want comments when you posted

Your bike looks awesome, screen doesn't, simple as that, I dont blame you or your bike for manufacturing ugly looking screens

Thanks for the pic's.

not offended, actually quite amused, thought it was funny that my first response was totally negative, typically most people just say something to the effect of, nice screen but not for me or say nothing at all, your post was just like, RIGHT to the point, ahhhh your shit is ugly. So yeah I was kinda amused, your thoughts though are irrelivant, beauty is personal preference, it would seem that only a few of us think the hyper is an ugly bike, I am one of them, most people love the way it looks, personally, I am glad I dont have to look at it while I am riding it, its whats on the inside the counts right :-)

haha yeah I guess I should wrap my words in red ribbons and colorful paper in some threads

My first impression was jeebus it's HUGE, then I made the post few secs later, hence the right to the point comment, guess I should have waited a bit, sorry about that

This is the DP screen right?
I have seen it live and it didn't look as big as it did on those pictures.

I can see why !

Windscreen aint my cup of tea either, but it make the wind turbulence on longer rides a little bit less annoying.

ok ... i see the similarities ...

Motoman_AZ · Mar 21st, 2011, 12:20 pm

Why don't they make the screens translucent? I would want to hide behind it from rain, rocks, cigarette butts, chew, windshield washers, sunflower shells, oil and other crapola on the road and still be able to see through it!
