1100GS Windscreen

Anybody know where I can get a second hand OE 1100GS windscreen in good condition? Preferably around Sydney somewhere?

Thanks!

NO - however what is wrong with the original?

Genuine BuMW screen is about $135 Au new.

I got one I'll sell you for a good price if the shipping to OZ is not too steep.

Did you try Motohansa?

Thanks for your replies, folks. Will check out Motohansa etc. The previous owner of my 1100 left the bug guts on the screen, so it was irreparably etched and frankly looked like shite compared to the rest of the bike. I finally decided to have a crack at doing more than just polishing it - well, that plastic didn't take too kindly to being painted with acrylic, did it. Even after plastic undercoat was applied. After two attempts, I've stuck black panels of contact over it to make it look slightly better, until I get myself a new one. I've done some dumb things, but.....

Don't be too hard on yourself, we've all made those sort of blues. The acrylic used in the screens mean they scratch easily anyway.
The USA model screens work really well, as they are clear and do provide a look at the road directly in fornt of the wheel, the tinted jobbies we had on our bikes in Oz aren't quite as easy to see through.

Why not try OSII, shipping from the US should not be to bad as it will be volume only, not weighty.

As Richo said, they are clear and it will look a little different.

You could also purchase an aftermarket job, try Eagle screens as well as the guys in NZ called bike screens, they do a nice job on what I have seen.
