V4 Pikes Peak

I must confess I don't get this 'unwrapping videos' stuff, it's marketing at its very worst in my opinion, but each to their own.

Picked up my 'enduro' screen today to fit later. Not keen on the huge standard screen, nor the carbon version either.

 

Damn it. I’m waiting to hear your thoughts after getting a few miles on.

 

We cant please everyone unfortunately

 

You and me both

 

I did show my unwrap as I was and still feel excited and for me its a nice touch from the dealer , but at least the tech and the dealer is on top of issues . To be fair these things happen so its best to spot it now . At least next week the weather will be warmer , salt washed away and a sunny day , time to get a few miles in and enjoy the investment as I excuse it .

 

Think is a good idea as I could be a batch thing maybe . Glad they pointed it out and sorted it.

 

I actually found the unwrapping videos really interesting. I've always wanted to be there for it happening to my bikes on delivery, but for various reasons, I've never been able to arrange it. I'm really curious how they package them. I'm hoping to be there for mine this time, but it's miles off still

 

I’m gonna put my unwrapping video on YouTube just to piss off all the miserable fuckers.

 

I’d be interested in seeing pics ( or a video ) and your thoughts on the enduro screen, that’s the one I’m thinking of buying..

 

The old ‘it’s an investment’ argument with my beloved is wearing a bit thin unfortunately, she said the other day the amount of bikes you’ve bought we should be millionaires by now..

 

Wont piss me off as i will have a million more useful things to do in my life.

 

The Bike World video with Chris Northover had the enduro screen fitted on his V4. Looks better and not sure the bike needs the huge standard screen but will let you know when i try it out. It certainly looks loads better.

 

If it doesnt piss you off why did you even bother to reply this post?

 

What's the difference between the enduro screen and the stock PP screen?

Granted I've not seen them IRL, but they both look quite small

 

It looks like the PP screen is a dark tint, whereas the enduro is clear.

 

You can buy the dark tint enduro as well.

Gone for the clear one as i prefer it but they are the same as the PP screen.

 

thats because the PP screen is designed to look good and the enduro screen is designed to function !

 

You don’t look through either , so tinted and clear are the same , so they have the same function .

 

How much visibility do we have with the tinted one...like in a transparency scale in percentage?

 

Not sure , but the top of the screen is in line with the top of the sat nav (iconic mount / XT ) and you still need to glance down to read it so the screen in effect is not looked thro , just a wind deflector. The standard screen on the V4s I had in low and still this did not look thro or notice it in the riding position . On high it was still non obscuring but saying that if it was black and the full size it may be distracting. I do have the high seat fitted tho so this may be different for others.
