Title: Windscreen Prices
Post by: danvanman on August 08, 2009, 07:44:14 PM

Hi Buga's, I've just worn my windscreen due to winds from hell on my way to work in Thredbo, thing is the quote in Jindabyne to fix throu windscreens o'brian is $470.00 fitted. Now I know it's a beddy and I'm out in the middle of nowhere sort of, but I was expecting more like $300. What do you guys think? Any suggestions?? Cheers  ???

Oh well, I guess I'm on my own on this one due to no one here having any idea's. I got a quote for $275 but would have to drive 60klm without a windscreen, so I got the origanal quote down from $470 to $350.  >:(

Hey Ben, I was going to were my ski gear, goggles ect and have a moto helmet as well, but glad i took the soft option of $350 as it's pissing down rain now and could be for the next few days. And Marty I know it's bad but I havent had any insurance other than CTP for about 13 years. My bad. ::)

If it's that much $ - they should include a new windscreen seal as well. Make sure you ask the question.
From memory, I paid around $250 (including a new seal) delivered and fitted at my house..I think that was O'Briens
Was about 2 years back, so memory is slightly faded - sorry. Good luck

so O'Briens has seals?

i had a new or near new windscreen come with mine but the seal was cactus on the old one.

what price do you guys estimate for just the seal and fitting?
