Received my arrow pro race slip on today and I love it how it looks and sounds.
Always wanted some sort of wind protection and went for powerparts windshield. But, I didn't really like the clear look of it. Nothing few coats of black lacquer couldn't fix.

Waiting for bar end mirrors now

Nicely done!

Wow, that windshield came out great! Can you give details on how you did it (prep, kind of paint, etc.)?

I have the PP fly screen which has some tint but I am finding that the headlight gets reflected along it's back side. May end up doing some kind of flat black or gray or something to dull it a little, not sure.

Hi. I got this matt black lacquer from amazon and did 3 coats on the back side on the windsheild.
This has left nice matt black finish on the inside and gloss on the front, and there is no glare from the lcd or the headlight whatsoever.

Looks great!

I painted the rear of the screen matt black too to reduce the headlight glare at night but after a while the shiny front started to show lots of scratches which bugged me. No matter how careful you are cleaning it's pretty much guaranteed to show small scratches after a while as the material is soft.

I could have tried polishing it but went with cheap faux-carbon look plastic wrap instead - it's not to everyone's taste but I really like it.

Exactly, what fender delete do you have? As long as the blinkers are still there it would probably still be fine. Or you could have the back straps circle under the tail and tie together, as you mentioned. I have seen it mounted like this on other bikes. I see you are in the USA, just order one...

I'll be sure to post my impressions once I've had a couple propper shakedown runs. As far as The Ridge is concerned, I have no idea what I'm doing in a month. So, June is way out of my crystal ball. I'd like to get there, but being on the Left Coast, it's pretty unlikely. Still, a ride would...

Good info, I'll look in to it. What prep work did you do (scuff up with some grit of sand paper, primer)?

Well, gave it a good clean and sprayed 3 times over, 10 minutes between each coat. It dries very quickly.
Next day, used a 1200 sandpaper to remove any blemishes from the paint and repeated the spray process. Got a perfectly even coat of matt black

Thanks great advice. I will pick up some paint today.

Nice job on the screen, mine is in the mail and I'm interested in doing similar. A guy on the facebook group did it with Plastidip, I might try that so it's less permanent.
