Who makes a good touring shield for a 4th gen

kingsley · 05-28-2008, 01:25 PM

Thinking of getting a taller shield.

Any better than others? What's your experience.

Thanks.

Bryan

BTW, I'm 6'2"

(for the record...I did try searching!)

I take it you have seen these then...

Zero Gravity

I've got a Zero Gravity sport touring shield due in friday. I'll post a report on here after it's installed.

I have the Givi touring windscreen, and while it does keep the windblast off my torso pretty well, I don't like the helmet turbulence/noise so much.
I'm 6'3" tall.

Hope that helps!

Thanks gentlemen. The zero gravity is one of shields available up here. They show it in clear only - smoke n/a wtf?

I'll look for your review Y2Kviffer.

Cheers,
Bryan

I've a smoke Zero Gravity shield as well. Have had it now for about a year, providing more wind protection than the stock one. But then, I'm only 5' 7". Got the screen from the Zero Gravity Outlet site - ZGOutlet.com.

Bryan, I'd *highly* recommend checking out the MRA VarioTouringScreen from Twisted Throttle (online) to see if they offer it for the 4g VFR. I had one on my FJ1200 and aside from wanting to keep the stock one for hot summer riding in town (it was a little too good at diverting air), it was tops - adjustable venturi wing meant that you could get turbulence free at *almost* any speed...

here you go.. TwistedThrottle.com : MRA VarioTouringScreen Windshield for Honda VFR750F, '94-'97 - MRA.01.032.VT

Not cheap, but the finest screen I ever had opportunity to use.

Thanks Steve. I know a guy with a v-strom who likes his MRA vario as well. Adjustability is always nice
