Cheap shield on ebay
Just picked up this sweet looking shield for my bike. I have only ever had a 6" so this should be pretty cool.
I figured for $30 shipped I could afford to lose my investment if it sucks. It is from China after all.
Anyways, my fingers are crossed and hoping for the best. I'll let you guys know how it is after I get it. Long shipping time though, 20-30 working days.

20 to 30 days shipping is not bad considering China has to import the plastic from the melted down nuclear reactor in Japan, then reform the plastic in a prison camp then ship it west through Mongolia and the poppy fields of Afghanistan and pass it off to Hezbollah in Iran to be smuggled out through Syria and across the Atlantic ocean to Mexico, then they have to find someone who still wants to swim the river and bring it to your house. It is a good thing the people in all those countries get paid a minimal wage, I bet the Chinese company you bought it from is only making $10 on the deal.
Sounds like a good deal to me.

You're happy, that's what counts ... Seems that everyone has an opinion ... some are credible some are just blow hards ... Some are just looking to make a little humor ... Insert yourself wherever you see fit ...

I bought a cheap ebay shield, yeah, it works, but whatever it's made of, is easily scratched. Just wiping bugs off has scratched it pretty badly. In the end, it was worth what I paid for it. It helped me decide what height shield I need. Now I plan on buying a quality one.....
