Author Message   Tobandeira Posted on Monday, January 24, 2005 - 06:32 pm:        hi Is there anybody who has an used xb instrument cluster for sale?..... mine melted due to zeroG windscreen..... realy fed up with it..... bought the shield and ended up with an ugly dammage in the dashboard and a new one is so expensive that´s out of question......   U4euh Posted on Monday, January 24, 2005 - 06:40 pm:        Look on ebay, I know that there was one there last night. It was for an XBS, don't know if that would work on the R or not. Any body out there got an answer?   M1combat Posted on Monday, January 24, 2005 - 06:50 pm:        As a preventative measure... Don't point your bike west in the morning (unless it's moving) if you have a ZG Double Bubble.   Cataract2 Posted on Monday, January 24, 2005 - 07:14 pm:        Ouch.... Remind me not to buy Zero G ever.   Barkandbite Posted on Monday, January 24, 2005 - 07:28 pm:        Just to be fair, the Zero Gravity Sport Touring windshield does NOT suffer from this problem... Don't curse the entire range. Chris   Enduro261 Posted on Tuesday, January 25, 2005 - 02:07 am:        explain to me what happens to the zero G? If it gets too hot it melts? What kind of temperatures are we talking about? What color windscreen?   Tobandeira Posted on Tuesday, January 25, 2005 - 05:34 am:        the ZG shield has a certain shape that when the sun comes from a given point makes a magnifying glass effect and melts the instrument cluster as if it was with a soldering iron...... it doesn´t have to do with outside temperature realy...... with me it happened in a 10º C day in winter.... and it realy does happent with the sun from behind the bike...... unless i am looking in the wrong place i don´t find anything on e.bay.......   U4euh Posted on Tuesday, January 25, 2005 - 09:05 am:        http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=35571&item=452 1944230&rd=1 That should get you there.   Tatsu Posted on Tuesday, January 25, 2005 - 06:23 pm:        I think if you email them about the problem, they will send you a sun blocker that goes inside of the windscreen.   Rooster2168 Posted on Tuesday, January 25, 2005 - 07:24 pm:        Tobandeira, mine has done the same thing. I just try and keep it covered when I'm not riding.   Tobandeira Posted on Tuesday, January 25, 2005 - 07:38 pm:        Well i guess they´ll send me a sun blocker but they won´t fix the dammage for sure... and the cluster costs $250 US or so..... and that one in ebay seems at least lightly scratched.....   Nedwreck Posted on Thursday, January 27, 2005 - 09:17 am:        According to Performance Bikes magazine, the double bubble windscreen supplied by Suzuki for their GSX-R 600's is frying clocks as well. So it's not just Zero G. Unless they make the windscreens for Suzuki, of course. Bob   Wyckedflesh Posted on Thursday, January 27, 2005 - 09:47 am:        The Double Bubble is the only model that has this problem in the Zero G line, and since the Zuki is using basically the same design...its no suprise.   Tatsu Posted on Friday, January 28, 2005 - 05:40 pm:        All the guys that a have a double bubble windscreen on their bikes(her in Hawaii) have this problem. Every last one of them. The one day the sun hits it just right and it melts anything plastic.
