I would like to put the dark screen which is standard in the UK and Europe on my red American Forza.
What color is the stock (short) screen on Canadian Forzas?
Thank you, Fish

Thanks for the reply Chris!

Ah well, Was hoping I would not have to pay to have one of the dark screens shipped from the UK.
I'm just not a big fan of wind shields on scooters, but I like the small dark one on the Euro Forzas, and yes I do ride my scooter year round here in Ohio....as long as the snow/ice is clear - temps no concern. Coldest ride was at 1 degree F , one morning. Just have to layer up!

FYI----on eBay.uk I've been quoted $225+ to have one of their OEM dark short screens shipped to USA.
Think I might be able to buy the screen a seat on an airplane from the UK to Ohio for that $ !
Hence...I bought an OEM clear screen and painted it for -$35.

@Fish - What type of boots do you wear for winter riding?

I called Honda Canada and they told me that dark screen was not available in North America.

I wear hightop leather work boots. Cold feet has never been an issue with me.
It's the hands that stop me, nothing else gets cold enough to bother me enough to stop riding. In the single digits I'm good for about 45 minutes before my hands get too cold.
Looking hard at battery gloves so I can ride either scooter to work or on weekends.

I was out in 8 under today and like you, its the tips of my fingers after about 30 minutes. Feet have never been a problem because of protection from fairing. Would be different on a bike I imagine when its very much open on most of them. I bought some TCX boots as they seemed to provide a good compromise between support and something you can walk about in. Had previously bought something else but it was like walking in ski boots and very uncomfortable.
