Can white carbon fibre wrap can be shortened to c'wrap?

I think the stock screen has just been painted white like the side molds.

It never occurred to me to go with paint for the look. I need an extra screen to send out, do anyone of you tall screen freaks have your stock to sell?

Arrrgh .... If I had known, I would have brought mine back with me. If you are willing to wait until sometime in the Mar/Apr/May of 2017 time frame, I can bring it. I won't be back to the US until then.

"The Throne" I just saw this :lol: :lol: :lol:
Thanks man but I'm sure I will have this by then even if I need to buy a new one. You know the dark smoke stock screen is all perfect until it gets tiny scratches from wiping and looks weird until the whole thing has micro scratches then it looks GREAT again! I will always want a backup.

My stock screen is scratched from my nylon bike cover. :cry:
I really don't think a white screen looks good though, it's just too much white without contrast.
Plus you have the black meter panel on the LED, so the white screen will look out of place and detract from precious' prestige.
I changed to a matte black meter panel to get rid of the bright white igloo look... :roll:

I love the mask on Kramers bike, I don't know what the down sides are of paint or wrap on the stock windscreen but I have a C-note for anyone with a 2015 or later one. I don't see new ones for sale for 15/17 yet. Don't care the condition but for that money it should be better than mine so pack it well please. I know a bunch of you are sitting on these with your hoity toity tall screens driving around looking like a sail boat.

I will seek a custom paint shop... I want a perfect pearl white match and a little black honda decal.
It looks AWESOME in my mind! Thanks chicaboo for that image bro.

Well, it's a 2013, so it won't fit yours. :(

I've used a cover every day for over 2 years, cheap £12 and no scratches I can see (none worth bothering with if any). The cover I use has a thin lining, maybe yours is just rough on the inside - in which case I would be worried about the state of the panels.

The panels seem OK, but the screen could definitely do with a polish.
It's not rough, just whatever fine nylon type material is. No liner in it.
I put a pillow case over the new screen before the cover goes on now.

That picture has a link to some for sale ads. It says the price is negotiable. Where is it, country wise? I think the web address ends in .au
Is that Australia?

I don't think it will sell for even what it cost to do the conversion. It's been for sale for two months now already.

Wow, all that unsprung weight and no more leaning into corners. :(
Yeah, the chassis is formidable. It defeats the bike's rationale--I mean, the PCX is all about agility and economy. A PCX trike is an oxymoron.

That being said, if the girl comes with, it might be something to ponder. Then again, and for the same reason, it might not be.

Yeah, Ashley look like fun. I wonder how many emails she's gotten enquiring about her availability with the scooter purchase. Giggles. :lol:
