Screen Protectors - Any Point ?

I use them on my instruments, test equipment and TomTom.... so Yes.
Anything from a £100 to £3500, so a Ducati..... DEFINITELY

 

The early 1200DVT ‘s clock screen’s we’re notorious for being easily scratched and marked hence screen protectors were a quick fix. Didn’t hear much about it with later DVT’s so perhaps Ducati resolved the issue. However for the sake of tenner I think its worth the investment to keep the clock scratch free.

 

They help prevent the Pani screens from cracking in the sun.

 

If you get petrol on your screen you’ll wish you had a protector on.

 

A grain of grit when wiping your clocks during cleaning will make a mess.
I scratched mine by putting my gloves between the yoke and clocks, knuckle protectors on my gloves made a mess, only time I didn't have a protector on....gutted

 

Probably not going to happen to you on a Multi but I have some pics somewhere of one of our race bikes after a trip to the gravel at Cascades at Oulton one year. Bike was battered and the screen took a fair bit but had a Speedo Angles screen protector fitted, when I peeled it off the screen was un-marked. Worth the money I reckon. Will try and dig the pics out and post them up.

 

The Speedo Angels fella was on here, forget his Forum name now but he offered discounts...

 

Here you go;

 

Went to look at an ex-demo 1260s which was for sale at the local dealer, the screen was so scratched that I wouldn't have bought it.
Would definitely recommend using one of these;

Yes. I have a spare for a DVT if anyone needs one.

 

Try fenwicks plastic glass cleaner its designed to clean camper windows I saved my pani clocks with it ?its a very fine paste take your time and you should be fine to remove marks !

 

Just remember to refuse 'would you like your bike washed' routine at dealerships. Or at minimum specify no one goes near your dash with a sponge filled with grit.

Yes to screen protectors on ducati, my beemers dash is a much harder (decent) plastic & still perfect after 10+years riding.

 

Its one of the matt type clocks on my hyper..

 

Yea that's a balls if you polish it you will end up with a gloss patch on the anti glare !

 

I thought about putting a protector over the top but just decided to live with it and learn for next time

 

Its bloody hard in such a visible spot !

 

Thanks for promoting me into buying one of these... good shout and well worth the money in the long run

 

No brainier on any bike with flat screen. Cheap as chips and effective. What’s not to like?
