Went through the KV, searched et al. I need a little more rain protection from the daily afternoon thunder storms and I’m trying to decide between the Zero Gravity Double Bubble Windscreen or the Zero Gravity Sport Touring Windscreen. Any of you have recommendations on either or something I’ve missed? It doesn’t look like a lot of choice out there.
What I would like to find is something with a vent in the low ‘V’ area to let some air through when I’m riding when it’s 100 degrees. Might have to get the dremel out.

I have the ZG ST windscreen. It is slightly taller than stock. For me, it has moved the airflow up just a tad and smoothed out the buffeting slightly (compared to the stock screen). I tend to sit close to the "tank". In a normal position, I still get a windblast around the shoulders and right on the front of my helmet. Of course, since the ZG ST screen is slightly taller, it is easier to tuck underneath the airflow. I have noticed that I don't get as wet when it rains (unless it is pouring). IMHO, the ZG ST screen is an improvement over the stock screen, just not the BIG improvement I was hoping. Still, if I had to do it again, I would. Sorry for the ramblings...

50$+ s/h and I'll sell you this one.
Same profile as the ST dbl bubble but alot cooler color scheme.
There is also the power bronze shield they are the same profile as stock I think but come in cool iridium colors.
Just dont order it through the only sponsor who sells them or you'll end up paying 15$ more than if you get it directly through powerbronze.

I've got the Zero gravity double bubble.

It's nice, except for the fact that it melts the guages.



i fixed that problem by painting the inside black. No more worries.

Ya at first I literally couldn't GIVE it away on here people wanted ME to pay shipping to them.
But it did grow on me and does work good at keeping the wind down.
I just LOVE the look of the powerbronze one so that one is just sitting on the shelf collecting dust.

Thx Buelltroll, but I need it to kind of match Cherry Bomb. I found Memphis Shades and these guys... http://bikescreen.com:80/proddetail.asp?prod=zzBue llFireboltG%2DFa they're almost local and they have pop-out vents. Gotta check it out.

Sport Touring.

Hal's Racing used it on their race bikes - might be less "cool" than the double bubble but I really prefer it as a way to keep you better streamlined - and it doesn't look too bad. In my profile - racing at Las Vegas. Sport Touring screen
