JB Check out his fairings, I've seen that guys stuff before.
Those screens have mixed responses to be honest. I've heard stories about them not fitting right, gaps in places. Ron even had one that cracked as he tried to screw it in, he'll ppbly tell u more.
I know some1 in BRC bought one from him, I think it's Blade.
Try looking at some branded ones like Puig? Cost a bit but look awesome. http://www.puigusa.com/

The screen I got that cracked was from the states actually.. and it was shite.. thin plastic and holes werent aligned.
The ones that come from Hong Kong (like the one I have on my bike, are good thicker plastic and the holes line up but the dbl bubble ones are kinda ugly and the rise is too much, I'm gonna be changing it soon) Puig are good as are the one that Zepplin has on his bike. Cant Remember the name of them..

Twisted Evil gee thanks ronno flatery will get you everywere lol! I actualy wanted the puig but there was a 2 month wait at the time so got the zero gravity brand, perfect fit and I really like the screen shape, I had recived an iridium screen from hong kong but it didnt look right as in very short and looked out of place, the screen in your link looks okay and I think at that price would certainly be worth the gamble Very Happy

I got one..... They dont mould into the fairings properly so you end up with a gap between the screen and the front fairing

BTW.. Re US made screens.. Stay away from Pit-Eck Corp screens.. plastic is waaay too thin, holes dont line up and screens crack very easily on install. The product is crap.. BUT they had good customer service and refunded my money straight away! All I had to do was send them a pic of the crack on the screen and they credited my paypal account the very next day.. no need to return the screen to them.
So props for that..
Hopefully they get thier act together and start making better screens with thicker more durable plastic
