Got my windscreen for my motorcycle today. I was pretty excited because it’s been pretty hard to find. Finally about two weeks ago, I found a used one on eBay that was from a totalled 919, but was supposedly in fine condition. Supposedly the windscreen has an MSRP value of $85.95 from Honda, and the one on eBay was about $40 when I found it. I figured it was a steal since I couldn’t find one anyway. I guess that everyone else was having as much difficulty finding one. So over the next two days the bid went up to $81!!! For a used one!!! So I figured I’d go back to good ol’ Google to do a little searching. After several pages of fruitless searching, Google AdSense, of all things found it for me. On the right side of the search results was a link for OEM accessories from Rick Roush motorsports.

Anyway, so thanks to Google AdSense, I was able to get a new OEM windscreen for $66 + S&H. That’s what I love about eBay…a sucker is born every minute that’s willing to pay more for a used item than a cheaper new one you can get for fifteen minutes of searching.
