Question Regular windscreen vs DB?

I'm having a hard time deciding between the regular windscreen and the DB for a F3... Any suggestions? Feel free to post some pics of the front of your bikes.. Any opinion is much appreciated! Also, if you choose 'other', please leave your suggestion. Thanks!

Anyone have pics of em on your bike? Personally I can't tell a difference just looking on Ebay.. But maybe it'll look totally different on a bike..? A front view (looking towards the bike) and driver position (looking forward on the bike) would be awesome if anyone has some!

Default Don't buy it for looks. They look about the same.

Reason to buy the DB is to decrease drag and buffetting when tucked. If you ride on the highway without being tucked, the air hits you right under the helmet and isn't as comfortable. When riding on the highway with the stock windscreen on my RR while sitting upright, the air hits me in the chest and actually "holds" me up better w/ less weight on the bars.

But if you ride fast on the highway while tucked with the DB, the air flows over you better w/ less buffetting on your head/helmet.

Just my input.

I like the look of the stock one better, but it may be better with the double b for highway riding. Im going to have to look into it myself. Anyone with an F4i have any info as far as wind blasting you in the face on the highway.
