    Buying a new windscreen for my VFR resurrection project. Had a tall GIVI sport touring windscreen, but thinking of getting a Zero Gravity double bubble windscreen instead. Being 6'2", I know that the GIVI gives a lot of wind protection, but it is slightly ugly I think. For those of you out there that have a Zero Gravity DB, how do you like it?

    I haven't tried the Givi windscreen but I can tell you that upgrading from the stock to the ZG windscreen did make a small difference in that at highway speeds I don't feel like I'm fighting the wind so much. I'm close to your height at 6'1" so you should have a similar experience. But it wasn't a huge difference and honestly I only really bought it for cosmetics. It looks much better than the stocker.

    Thanks for the info Joey Dude.

    By the way, on another note, I just replaced my steering head bearings on my 98 VFR as part of its resurrection project. I found your old post on this and used it. The pics were very helpful. Even though the post is years old, it was a good tutorial and gave me a good overal picture of the procedure. Well done.
