Author Message   Mr1spd Posted on Monday, June 09, 2008 - 09:43 pm:        Has anybody used a zero gravity windscreen on an Xb lightning and if so did you notice a difference at highway speeds. I am wondering about buying one before riding up to the 25th at East Troy.   Staindus Posted on Tuesday, June 10, 2008 - 08:46 am:        I have the taller zero grav on my city cross. It does make a difference when you are crouched a bit but not sitting straight up. I am 5'9 and if I slide back a bit on the seat and if I crouch down a bit I can feel the air hitting the top of my helmet, straight up it hits around the neck area. With the stock screen it was hitting my chest. Hope this helps, Rob   Mr1spd Posted on Wednesday, June 11, 2008 - 12:14 am:        Thanks, I appreciate it..   Corporatemonkey Posted on Thursday, June 12, 2008 - 03:44 am:        If you have an XBS you will be happier with a laminar lip http://www.laminarlip.com/xbs.php A lot of us here have them.   Staindus Posted on Thursday, June 12, 2008 - 08:32 am:        Corporate, How does the lip compare to the Zero grav? I went with it because I like the look. Does it really do a better job than the Zero grav?   Xbeau12s Posted on Thursday, June 12, 2008 - 03:18 pm:        I vouch for the lip. Laminar lip that is. And ..... can't stray from the topic. The Laminar brings the air off your chest and directs it up onto your helmet where it belongs. Looks good too.   Corporatemonkey Posted on Friday, June 13, 2008 - 04:13 am:        Corporate, How does the lip compare to the Zero grav? I have never used the zero gravity shield, but when I was originally looking BWB general consensus was to go with the laminar lip. The laminar lip has a few obvious benefits, you can position it to suite your size, or riding style, or remove it anytime you please.   Psychoxb Posted on Friday, June 13, 2008 - 09:56 am:        Mine whips the air right to the top of my helmet, very little forceful wind from my windshield.   Carbide Posted on Friday, June 13, 2008 - 11:36 am:        Yeah, I bought the Zero for my current trip out East, and it has proved to be insufficient for long touring. It is certainly better than the stocker, but if you want to hammer major miles go with the Laminar.   Jslayton70 Posted on Monday, July 07, 2008 - 09:34 pm:        so, what does everyone recommend for a Blast? I am a new rider, actually, havent ridden at all since my class but would like to get input on the windshields for highway miles...does anyone recommend anything for a new Blast owner?
