    Kermit recieved its much needed new screen today after a stone flying up from a cager put paid to the mirror finish.

    So surfed Ebay (e-bay is my friend mmmmm) and found a Puig racing Double Bubble, in GREEN (of course), for the princly sum of $A50, plus $A20 postage.

    So for a grand total of $A70 I received it today, took just 6 days to get here from the USofA.

    Great choice of screen.

    Puig is an awsome product. Would not buy anything else.

    So on the eight day, after wasting time faffing about with unimportant guff like heaven & earth & the waters & sky & creatures [& having a wee kip] & man.... God created PSB (GenesiSX-R1000)

    lol. I was wondering if someone would ask that. I dont, but my cousin has one, and he's been complaining about not being able to comfortably get behind the screen

    Actually guys, wait up, there is something not right with that screen I'm thinking.

    TO my knowledge Puig do not make screens with the rubber trim thing around the edge, all their screens are factory tapered and rounded like OEM screens.

    Are you sure the seller is legit, that its a Puig and that you got wot u paid for?

    Perhaps I am wrong, but the puigs iv seen/owned look a different finish.

    Screen looks hot, Kim - looks better than the old one I reckon - sweet! I'll still be able to tell it's you on the tail of the Alpaca Runs

    And geez, Deej - at $70 delivered who cares!
    I can't think what more you could possibly need to know... except maybe this:

    Well Deej if it's a fake they went to a LOT of extra effort what with all the packaging, paperwork, badging, stickers etc.

    Packaging is marked PUIG Racing Screen. Made in Spain. Was originaly sold by Motoplastic S.A Cupula Racing Kawasaki ZX7R 96-02 C/VERDE Ref.:0314V with barcode 0 000000 314862.

    There's also all the fitting paperwork, in 4 different languages and lists the webiste as http://www.motoplastic.com/

    It appears to be legit.


    Might just be an older version.

    nice choice of screen.

    Well thanks for that, I still don't think this screen is as bling as the other, but better than clear for sure.


    As to the garden.... every summer it goes the same. We live on the edge of the desert and so my garden looks like it, lol.

    Must admit though that the back garden round the pool looks a lot more tropical.

    Mmmm they must have come down. I paid about $110 a screen for my two Puig's when I bought mine.

    Ahh well.

    Some say he eats sidchrome for breakfast

    Some say he only showers on even days of the week

    Some say he put an R1 motor in a coffee machine

    All we know is he's Hewie.
