Type 3 Windscreen...
Hi all ,
I asked this a long while ago and hoping things have progressed (also I've forgotten :P )
I'm after a decent replacement windscreen for my Fasty, prefer new but last time (25+year ago :P ) I got a new branded (Triplex) one the fit was down right appalling that I eventually binned it and fitted a VW one albeit heavily scracthed :/
Can anyone recommend a suppler/manufacturer in the UK please ?
A NOS one would be nice but...
cheers,
Angelo

Re: Type 3 Windscreen...
Pilkington glass is generally very good - no experience with their type 3 product though

Re: Type 3 Windscreen...
Not for me, but good to know for other type 3 owners.
Are you ordering one ?

Re: Type 3 Windscreen...
Still considering it.
Price was a bit of shocker but shouldn't be a surprise these days I guess.
My main issue would be that it fitted properly after the bad experience I had with a Triplex one albeit that was over 2 decades ago.
