Has anyone gotten one of these yet? I am really excited for the price ($150 + s.h.) and the design looks pretty cool, too.

*EDIT- As of today, 3-31-10 I am contacting Ztechnik to see if they can work with us on a group buy. Anyone who is interested please respond on here so I have some numbers to work with. I bet at the least we can get free shipping (in this economy MC accessories have got to be hurting).

I will update here after we speak.

Didn't know that warranted a Mod response.

Do you want a thank you?

OK, what gives... I have followed all the directions I can find for posting pics, and this is all I get... what am I doing wrong?

I looked through their site and couldnt find a model for my K-RS 96? I sent them an email asking...I am actually looking for a taller screen myself right now. I'll re-post if they give me an answer. Your looking for an LT model though right? I like the price too!

Hhhhmmm, not sure why your link didn't work. I used the link without the IMG bits to download the picture and it worked. I use tinypic.com for all pics which gives you a link which always works. Here's yer pic:-

Actually I didn't read you message properly, looks like you forgot the starting [IMG]

ie it should read [img]picture.location[/img]

This is your original image location fixed:-

No, Drikko, you read it right the first time. After you posted I went back and edited to try to do it your way, that is what you are seeing right now... my failed (once again) edit.

But that is a great lookin' wind screen, isn't it? I like the way the contours of the screen follow the contours of the upper dash when the screen is fully lowered. Kind of gives the bike a bit more modern look.

That's an awesome looking screen. Around the same price as the Cee if I recall. Definite contender if it comes in colors and has the same quality/thickness of the Cee.

I called them, they are in stock and ready to ship... they just have not updated the website. $149+ $14 S. H. to me ( I live about 30 miles from their warehouse but they would not let me pick-up) I think is a really good deal.

What about a group buy? Any interest? I would be willing to be the facilitator and make the calls...

It does modernize the look of the bike a bit.

I might be interested.

I"m surprised they'd make a product for a bike that long out of production. Then again, if you're going to be brand-specific you've only got so many options.

I have been considering one. I was hoping you would get some feedback from someone who already has one.

I just got a new Cee but if I saw this first I woud have gotten it insted. Cant afford to have extra shields collecting dust so the Cee will get used for the next few years.

[quote="2xcelr8"]I have been considering one. I was hoping you would get some feedback from someone who already has one.[/quote]

I think it may be awhile for thorough feedback as they just got them in stock last week. The most we will hear is observational quality and fitment.

My screen is scratched and peeling and I vowed not to go another season with it. Plus, when I adjust it to the sweetspot (no buffeting but still aerodynamic) the top is right in my line of sight.

Their "tall" is a +2. My bike works best for 6-2 me with a Parabellum +4. Ask them if they plan to make a taller one the next time you have them on the line.

I like what it does for the bike - I'll buy one if a group deal is put together.

Let me know if they offer a discount for multiples. I will try to pry the wallet open. I can ride down to pick it up.
