I'm not down with the double bubble. I love dark smoke either way. Sometimes it's nice to be able to see through the screen so make sure you know how you ride before you spend money on something you can't see through, should you like to look through your screen.

Double bubble issues on my '05 had concentrated sunlight (like a magnifying glass burning ants) warp/distort a spot on my speedo lens. Not sure if they solved the issue with the new ones?

Puig double height racing screen (also available in standard, no double bubble). I absolutely love mine, great quality and fit for an aftermarket screen. I would recommend the Dark Smoke, nice and dark but still transparent. The cheapest I've ever seen them was on eBay where I got mine.

DB race windscreen or Touring Screen which has a bit of a upturn lip on the top of it, still appears to be DB height though? Is this correct? Suggestions?

Double bubble gets its name from the fact that it looks a screen stacked on another screen...two bubbles/screens. The touring one I thought is higher, single-bubble so to speak and is just tacky, ugly and fugly. Do you have bushy eyebrows that need protecting grandpa? Hahaha. I might be wrong man. It might even depend on the manufacturer of the one in question...

I just got done looking at pics of both real quick. Looks like both are about the same heights. The "touring" doesn't have that "double bubble" look. I looked at zero gravity screens. And I think both are just too tall for the sport look that our bikes just naturally possess.

So, what's better? The Puig or the Zero Gravity windscreens?

It's all personal preference. Look on the internet at pics of both on the same bike as yours and make your decision that way.

Makes it kind of hard to see out when you are tucked in doesn't it?

I think a sportech classic chrome would look pretty good
