*EDIT-Was "which screen" now is "Which Mirrors" for 08 ZX6R

Post by tim »

Never had a sportsbike so I'm not sure on the pros and cons.

When I rode one it seemed like a long way down and "in" for me to get behind the thing.

Double Bubble seems appealing!

Tinted? Iridium? Ebay Cheapie? $200 super screen?

;)

Tim I have found the the DB screen forces air straight at my helmet & is therfore more noisy but I put up with that as it takes some
weight off my chest.... you cant really tuck under the ones on sportsbikes if you you were looking for long range comfort.

Tim how does a new tinted DB one for $95 sound? :lol:

Double Bubble Tinted I reckon looks pretty cool! Would suit your bike also... Like Robracer has already said it does send more wind towards the helmet. But a decent set of earplugs should solve that one ;)

dont go iridium, stone chips and bugs will scratch the crapper out of it. tined last for ever and make your guages easier to see.

i wouldnt worry about getting under it too much unless you're track riding. but even then, how much time will it save you?

go with a bouble bubble for the weight off your chest i reckon. dark tinted, coz even if you do tuck down a bit onthe freeway you wnt be that low you need to look through it.
i've got a clear double bubble on my tracky, (mainly cause it was free) but also because you really wanna be down there and see where your chasing down people on the track.
