    Has anyone fitted a double bubble screen?
    If so what brand and how does it perform?
    My only reason for wanting to change is that I find I get a lot of wind noise, if I lift or drop my head a couple of inches it is quieter.
    I'm 5'10".
    PS: I want something sporty looking not a massive riot shield. Less is more IMO.

    Any of the windscreens can be modified by trimming if they are too high. Breaking wind can also be partially eliminated by reducing the intake of the following:

    Milk and dairy products
    Starchy foods like potatoes and pasta
    Wheat and oat bran
    Foods sweetened with artificial sweeteners, such as soda, gum, and hard candy
    Bananas, peaches, apricots, pears, and raw apples
    Raisins and melons
    Prunes and prune juice
    Colas and fruit drinks sweetened with fructose
    Beans and lentils
    Onions, green peppers, shallots, and scallions
    Cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and peas
    Corn, celery, artichokes, asparagus, and carrots

    Gee whiz there Bob, those "Double Bubble" windscreens are likely patented and even more likely copyrighted by Zero Gravity. Either of which you could look up on the www instead of calling cutback an idiot. Now everyone is laughing at you.

    Ignorant and angry all at the same time is not a really good combination especially whilst riding. Don't you agree?

    Thanks Catherder.
    Do you find it is any quieter/smoother airflow or just looks better?

    It was already installed on the bike when I got it, so I can't answer a comparison question. I have the stock screen, but the ZG looks so much better I never even considered swapping them out.
    At 5'9", and with heli bars, it's very comfortable to ride behind.

    I had a ZG DB dark screen on my bike for several years and like it mainly because it looks cool. As for the wind, it does help just a little but note I'm 6'1". So people shorter than me would notice more difference but it's still kind of windy. It's not like you'll be able to ride without a helmet.

    And as it turns out I'm selling mine for only 50 bucks plus shipping, here's the ad: http://vfrworld.com/classifieds/sho...y-db-windscreen-for-1999-2001-honda-vfr&cat=4 :eagerness:

    Toss in a couple of packs of Beano and maybe Ozzybob might be interested.
