Haha, I'm stalking you.....

Personally I have the Zero Gravity double bubble (dark smoke) and I love it.
The fit is perfect and makes the bike look better. Realistically when are you ever going to look through the windscreen while riding anyways? The double bubble also helps with the amount of wind while on the highway because of the shape.

I've also heard good things about the Puig, but can't personally speak of their quality.

I've read good things about both those brands. I'm watching the one one e-bay that cbr boyracer informed about. Is that like yours Whitby?

By the way. Two of use are definitely singing up for August 08/07 for fast school with the altenate date of the 15th

yeah, the one your talking about is the same as mine but mine is considered a "dark smoke" not just "smoke". I', happy with mine. FAST school is a go huh? I'm going to have to check the funds and get back to ya.

As far as the shape of the DB over the stock one, it has more of a "bump" or curve in the middle of the screen. It gives it a sportier look, flows with the curves of the bike better, and I feel like the extra height on the curve gives you better wind protection at higher speeds. Kind of difficult to explain but I hope you get an idea of what I mean.

Does the double bubble design only melt guages when it is clear or even in colors. I( saw that situatuation on a previous thread and didn't know.

I actually had fitment problems with my Puig windscreen, it wouldnt sit flush with the upper fairing...might have been defective but i returned it and got the ZG Dark Smoke and it fit much better...the Puig windscreen are def. quality products (really thick plastic) but the dark smoke gives off a blueish tint that I dont like........dark smoke is the way to go tho, I never look through my screen, even when im tucked

I have a zero gravity, night shaded. I like it. My buddy has a black tinted puig and it looks equally good. They're all good, I'd look for the best deal.
