The image is very deceiving as they are actually quite small. Maybe 4-6 inches tall. We've sold a few, but haven't gotten much feedback.

here are two from an Italian MFG.

*available in tint or clear

*available in satin black, gloss or tricolor.

i was thinking of painting the "tricolor" all red except a small line around the windscreen to show the Italian colors.
Or maybe I'll make one in all carbon....

We are doing a group buy on both of them.
If there is any interest. PM me.

the tricolor just looks like the stock one tilted up.

if the tinted one was about 2-4 inches talle and rounded it would be cool

Wow, I'm sorry, but that tricolor windscreen is HIDEOUS. Doesn't go with the bike at all IMO.  First pic isn't so bad...

damn, those all look not that great.

i wonder if you can modify a bikini faring from a 695 to go on the 696 to see if it looks good or not.  i would venture to guess that if you could angle is to align with the headlight to be slanted like the new light, that it might actually bring a little of the "classic" look of the monster to the new 696 so that more people might like the looks.

I wonder if anyone knows of a company that could just mold up a new screen to fit on the fly screen. it's only three bolts. change that out for a 6 inch taller screen.
