Hot enough to melt my dash on my xb12r while I was at work yesterday. WTF? Can I get a new dash bezel or do I have to buy a whole new dash?

No pics yet, and yes I do have the double bubble, in dark smoke. I put it on about a month ago.

Double bubbles are known to melt dashes. Don't park the bike with the back end towards the sun. (if possible)

the curve of the windscreen happens to have the right focal length to melt the dash.

The ST screen is a better choice, it won't melt your dash, and it gives more wind protection.

DaveS probably has them in stock. I'll bet AL at American Sport Bike does too for that matter.

If you don't mind a blemished screen zgoutlet.com has some discounted screens
