    Greetings
    Dangerous Dave took one for the team and posted is effort of the VStream wind screen.
    Hence im new here id like to do the same and share with everyone my results of the Zero Gravity Sport Touring Windscreen


    My Senaro

    im 5'11", I have the Heli Bar risers, and I have a Bell Vortex helmet.
    The Bell Vortex is known to be noisy, but here in AZ I want as much cooling as possible.

    My Goal
    Im using this bike a little for work to see some clients. I need the limited ability to answer cell phone calls. Like Dangerous Dave I wanted my head 'behind the bubble'.


    I did some riding and measuring withe the Honda OEM wind screen.


    Results:
    With the Honda Wind Deflector off AND also in the lowest position the Bubble was about the same. The Air stream was hitting me about the top of my Brest bone/ Addams Apple/ Throat. About 14" up from the gas tank filler (see Green line from Cheesy Mac Paint Pic)


    With the Honda Wind Deflector in the highest position the Bubble was larger. The Air stream was at 17" and hitting me in the chin. While a little quieter but not earth shattering.


    With the Zero Gravity Sport Touring the Air stream is much higher and hitting me about Eyebrow level (crap I forgot to measure.. the but Bubble was MUCH bigger)

    Concuslion;
    Im happy with what I got.
    If I spent $300 for a Vstream Touring, I would have been pissed with the results. But for $115 It is a MUCH improvement for the cost.
    There is still noise, but it is reduced by 50% AND the pitch/tone is a lower freq. I feel ear plugs will big a step in the right direction.

    My head is not Entirely Behind the Bubble BUT im able to crack my visor and get some air with out my eyeballs drying out in 1.237 nano seconds.

    Considering the cost, install, quality of material (witch is fine), and touring benefit I give it a B+.

    here are some reference pictures.

    Any chance you could post a couple of 3/4 shots of it installed on the bike, one from the front/side and one from the rear/side? Gives a bit better perspective on how it really looks/fits on the bike IMHO. I'd be very interested to see them if you could. I know the Vstream looked very different once installed then the manufacturer's photo.
