Does anyone have thoughts or experience with the different styles ZG offers? I can't find pictures that represent what they look like on the bike, and the ZG. Website only shows the double bubble installed. I'm 6'1" and mostly ride in a 3/4 position (I commute about 80 miles/day, half highway and half country roads, and my hands end up numb if I tuck the whole way) which results in a lot of wind noise and buffeting. I'm hoping to push the wind stream up over my head, but I love the way my bike looks, and really don't want to mess up the look. I'd hate to dump $ on the Corsa and then not be happy with the look, or do the same on the Double Bubble or Sport Touring, and find it doesn't move the air enough. Does anyone have any experience or input with them? A search just gave one result from a shorter guy. | ||

I'm also looking at picking up a ZG and came across the following website with descent pictures of each model on an 1125R: http://www.carpimoto.it/EN/Bike_Buell_1125-CR-R/Sp ecific/Fairing/WindScreens/ I don't have any experience with them, but hopefully the pictures of each model will help. | ||

http://americansportbike.com/newdir/Item/16303 This is also by ZG. And it's from American Sport Bike. Good people. | ||

I have the double bubble I wish I would have got it a lot earlyer than this year got the light smoke looks good on the black 1125R. Wind is smoother and a little quieter. You still get enough air to help keep you cool in the summer. I am 6' tall (Message edited by dennis c on June 15, 2014) (Message edited by dennis c on June 15, 2014) | ||

I have a used one still in good condition if you're interested. ZG calls it the SR model and it's supposed to be Stock replacement but it has a raised bubble up front. Much lower than the ST Screen though. Was about to put it in the classified. PM me if interested. Link to photo: https://flic.kr/p/9mUrNk (Message edited by rogue_biker on June 16, 2014) | ||

Have been riding with a ZG Double Bubble for several years now, over 20,000 miles. Really like it. I'm 6 foot tall. The photo in my profile shows one. It's a clear one I painted. | ||

I have the Corsa. I think i'm used to the buffeting though. It's definitely improved (from stock), but i think i'm out of the normal range that would even matter. 6'8" and mostly torso... It's nice and when i do tuck down it works great. I ride leaned forward in general during commute and only fully tuck in the rain or when i'm exceeding the limit by quite a bit. I can take a pic and post up if you want to see the Corsa on my bike. Front or side profile? Let me know what you'd like to see... Rob | ||

i've always been interested in the ZG screens. The corsa or the sport touring are the 2 i'd pick i think. could never figure out the differences. American Sport Bike says the corsa is the tallest, (Tallest profile for maximum wind protection) but if i'm not mistaken other sites say the ST is taller. | ||
| Sl33py |
Found the profile pic i remember seeing way back:  ST is supposed to be the tallest... BUT it doesn't show the corsa either to confirm. found another (actually from badweb) that shows the corsa:  hmm... now i want to measure the rise above the windscreen plastic to see which is taller. (not that i'm getting another - i like the corsa just fine) | ||

I haven't used these on the 1125 but have lots of experience with them on XBR models. The Double bubble is good, but if you are over 6' I would recommend the Sport Touring screen instead. We used this even on our race bike as our rider was tall (over 6') and it gave much better protection/aero than even the double bubble screen. | ||

Hey Rob would love to see the pix of the corsa WS I am considering that mod for my bike as my intent is to use it for sport / touring | ||
| Sl33py |
Sure thing Oldog. I'll try to snap a pic when i get home tonight or later this week and post up. Somewhere i have the stock, and i think the ZG SR version in blue... I'll see if i can set it up to compare against the Corsa like the larger picture above. | ||

I second the double bubble. I'm 6'6 and the extra protection is nice. I had a lot of difficulty getting down under the original. I haven't tried the sport touring. I recall looking at both in pictures and thinking the double bubble looked cooler, but I could be mistaken. | ||

I just bought the Zero Gravity ST for my 1125. I had to look hard for comparative pictures. As it turns out, the best pictures are on Zero Gravity's website, duh..  http://www.zerogravity-racing.com/product_page.php ?pn=859# | ||

I recently installed the ZG SR on my 1125R, love the look, but really not much difference from stock. Pics here - http://www.faceyman.com/2014/05/finally.html | ||

And in the dry! Didn't have to get me at the po po station last year lol! | ||

Thanks everyone! The pics really help make it clear. I think I'll go with the ST and see how it goes. | ||

Fun fact: My 1125 was the test bike ZG used when designing these. Got a free sport touring screen out of the deal. | ||
| Mitchg |
Any one have a pic of the ST on their bike? The ZG pics leave too much up to the imagination. | ||

I think this thread is full of wrong information. I would hate for someone to read this later and order the wrong piece. DRM1125...I don't think what you have is the Double Bubble. It looks like the tinted corsa. The pic next to the 3 in 1 profile pic is showing the clear ST, not the corsa. Here is a better link for pictures from ZG: http://www.zerogravity-racing.com/product_page.php ?pn=859# Click on the colored tabs to see closer pics for each style. www.americansportbike.com has better pics too. | ||

Maybe in the DB pic above, I just can't see the step up part of the Double Bubble. It looks like just one continuous arch profile. | ||
| Smoke4ndmears |
I've had both. Prefer the DB for street riding as it really pushes the air over my shoulders. I'm 5'10". Corsa is just enough for the dome piece at full tuck. |
