Morning all!

I have a Memphis Shades screen on my RK, not sure how old it is, could be as old as the bike (2002). At the bottom of the screen in the blue tinted section it's kind of got this "crazing", doesn't appear to be on the surface but in the plastic itself? Any ideas? I mean it doesn't affect me when I am riding, I am more just curious.

 

I had the same thing happen to me with a oem shield years ago. At that point in time my bike was always sitting in sun baking I just assumed that did it.

 

I would guess they're from age, exposure to the sun and the elements, and stress. There's a good explanation of "crazing" on Wikipedia. Check it out.

 

I had the exact same thing happen. Get in touch with Michael at M.S. Give him the numbers at the bottom of your shield and he'll know how old it is. If anything can be done Mike is the guy that can make it happen. The customer service at Memphis Shades is excellent. Keep us posted on how you make out.

 

Thanks for the advice guys, its probably super old but I've dropped them an email.

 

Had the same thing happen with the MS on my old Shadow 1100. Called MS and they said there wasn't anything they could do.

I didn't affect anything. It was just annoying.

 

Dropped them a line and my screen is about 16 years old!! :-D Must have been second hand when the original owner purchased it!

Like i said it's not affecting the use so I'll stick with it.

 

you can cover it with vinyl in that area to hide it
