Why do you want a replacement factory screen? If you've got a 2011 model then it's already what was the larger option on the "old" model.

If you want to buy an aftermarket screen then there are already many threads  :smiley:

P.S. I've got a CalSci  :smiley:

Tapps!!!!!!!!!!! It's a motorbike, it's cutting through the air as you ride it, that air has got to go somewhere ie over/or round you. If you dont want that lovely fresh air whistling round your lug holes, go in, or get a car.  :smartass: :mfr_lol: :rolleyes:

fair comment there,i've managed to scratch the screen,i always gave it a good soaking prior cleaning it & more often than not i'll use a NEW CLEAN CLOTH.they are not surface scratches as you can feel them with your finger nail,i cant seem to get them out or make it look unnoticable a simple solution would to be replace it all together for a new one.i got a price on one from cresent kawasaki near HAMBLE,with vat is was around the £250 mark,no i didn't order one.i understood they were around the £152 mark,i'm trying to get the right part number so i can be CERTAIN I'LL BE ORDERING THE RIGHT ONE.

Tapps, I haven't personally used this stuff, but I guess it can't do any more harm and is somewhat cheaper than a new screen

I use micromesh on aircraft windscreens, it's the mutts nuts, as long as you're patient and follow the guidelines. Used it on an old visor once with excellent results. The plastic/perspex polish is great for minor scratches & swirl marks, and for finishing off after the micromesh.

+1 with Winston  ... looks like good stuff and if it helps keep the screen clear and unscratched then that has to be good  :smiley: :smiley:
