It looks nice, But looks can be deceiving, Iv heard that those off brand screens from eBay are then & have bad fitment.
If you want to truly black out your ride? Get a black Puig, There quality & thick.
I have a black Puig DB on mine & I love it.

I had an ebay screen on my bike for a while. Complete pile of shit. I bought a zero gravity and love it. Puig screens are good as well. One of the members here (monsterZX) had a pretty bad experience with his Puig. Had it for about a week and it cracked and spidered all throughout the screen. Puig did replace it for free though.

It is easy to over tighten the screws. Snug is all you need.

I just bought that same screen for my 2011 , it fits fine and gives me the look I wanted without having to spend a lot of money. I've only had it a few days, but so far so good. Im at work now but if you want, I can post up pics of it on my bike. I wouldnt say its the best quality, but it looks like it'll hold up just fine.

Imo, just look at the reviews of eBay sellers until you come across a few that bought what you're buying. If it's good, buy it.

My $30 windscreen and $550 fairings (both eBay-bought) make me quite content.

Was going to say, if you only want to change the color, paint the inside of your clear screen black. It will look exactly like the expensive one but cost a whole lot less. If you want to change shapes or want a smoke screen you can still see thru then that's a different story.

The tq specs of the windscreen bolts is 3.5 ft/lb of tq. Thats pretty much finger tight.

zero gravity is the way to go...

I just got my Zero Gravity in - (Dark Smoke) - it's SO dark it looks like black, which is exactly what I wanted. Easy install - everything lines up - you have to watch the cheaper ones with the bolt line up.. heard some are off..:thumbdown:

I'm not a double bubble kind of girl, I just got the basic in dark smoke - very clean lines.

My buddy painted his S1000rr screen but didn't like the way it looked so he bought a Puig DB in smoke. Looks good but has some defects in the optical clarity. One blurry spot and a line up the middle halfway up. Not sure if he's going to send it back or not. Even the fitment was just a hair off.
