I'm looking at getting rid of the stock clear windshield for my 01 f4i and going with a nice smoked out one. The double bubble is what alot of my friends that i ride with have but in a way that windshield gives the sportbike a touring look that i don't like. Who actually has the double bubble on their bike and do you think it prevents alot of the wind on your helmet. In a way i hardly care about that and merely care for the look so i'd like to find the stock size windshield only in a dark tint. Know any good names for a dark windshield the same size of the stock one?

A few bikes were out today in Vermont!!

 

I've got one, and no, it doesn't help block wind. It does look sick, though. Much sportier than the ugly stock one and not a touring look as you said.

 

The double bubble looks too high-taked away from the sleek stealthy look. What exactly is the point of the double bubble then? I mean if it douesn't reduce airflow whats the point of it being higher?

 

btw, my spelling was pretty brutal in that last post

 

I think the reason it's higher is to help shield the wind... and it doesn't help, at least on our bikes. It's for the looks. If sleek and stealthy is what you're going for I think it's alot more suited than the stock windscreen.

^^ as you can see it's not much taller (both go to about the top of the mirrors) and that's why it doesn't help block any wind.

 

i like my Zero Gravity dark smoke stock-shape screen. would have went with a Puig if i could have, but the ZG is still nice. really dark, almost black. you could also paint the stock screen black, many people have done that, plus its cheaper.

 

Nice photo axsys. I've always feltthat the stock sized windscreen does a great job atdeflecting the wind ~ maybe I'm just short?

 

hmmm-yea i may just paint the stock then channel my money elsewhere in the bike for the time being-gotta find a paint that sticks to the shield and has a glosshas anyone endeavered this feat?

 

Bad job with the wind, great job looking good.
