Default Wind screen

I usually ride my bike back and forth to work. Its a straight shot up and down the highway. The wind and the noise from it mess with you after a while. I was thinking about the zero gravity double bubble or their sport touring screen. Anyone have these or can compare wind results after the change from stock? From looking at their pics both screens seem to still look pretty decent on the 1k.....

I have an 07. I put a double bubble Puig windscreen on. Doesn't fit 100% but no one can tell. I like it. Has great wind deflection!

I have an 06 with a Puig, but they tend to melt your instrument panel, so be careful (cover it with a cloth or something)

My friend has the same bike with a Zero Gravity DB, and if I had it to do over again, that is what I would buy for my bike.

Thanks guys (and gals)....I appreciate your input. Anyone else want to weigh in, I'd love to hear it?
Oh, and does anyone actually have the zero gravity sport touring screen? or know someone who does? I'd like to know if it seems too tall, doesnt look it in the pics but sometimes real life is different. I hate to spend the bucks and then not like it!

If it helps I'm going to buy one tomorrow and put it on promptly. If you want to wait a few I can give a quick review on the install and how I like it.

I have the zero gravity sport touring windscreen. I like it,helps alot with wind when sitting upright. Much better than stock. Ow yea it is not to tall and does not look to tall.
It also fit good.Other people say it looks good also. Been running it for about 5 months now still looks good as new.

Not trying to steer you off topic, but what kind of helmet you wearing? I didnt realize how much a good lid makes a large difference from wind noise.

Scorpion Helmets.

There are a lot of nice helmets now-a-days that are reasonable priced. A lot of it will be how well the helmet fits on you. I have two Scorpion Helmets and I love them both. IMO- its the best value. (Both the EXO-400 and EXO-700 are great helmets under or at $200)

Here is what other people on this forum think about this helmet: https://cbrforum.com/m_49286/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm
