hmmmm i see what you mean, the screen isnt the nicest but comfort is key when your on the bike. As for the red strip im completely not a fan. Im on the idea of plain black until youve got some other ideas. Do you have a prefered number for eg if you ever where to go racing you would use.... Mines 88 as its the year i was born and have now put it on my last 2 bikes at the front, always is a questioning point for other bikers and get the conversion started. Just a thought
