Airblade screens?

[Binky]

Does anyone own one or have any knowledge about them? What is the wind protection like on thier double bubble screens and do they look decent???

I am just deciding whether to get an Airblade screen or something more like a Zero Gravity/Fabbri so any advice appreciated...

Is the protection much better with that screen. It's not dubble bubble is it???

Dont know whether you have a pointy or curvey, but ive got one on my pointy. Im happy with it, but the double bubble is not as pronounced as other screens. It is basically just a steeper gradient that keeps the wind off you, but doesnt look too big on the bike. I can post some pics up for you if you'd like.

it is what they class a double bubble. its very gental and you have to look fot it. but it does have shape and it is alot better than the original. plus they are bit cheaper i paid 45 pounds for it new.

Pleased with my Powerbronze screen, look way better than the standard, £49 well spent.

Have a look at this thread, Patrick..............especially post 24.

We think the Powerbronze screen is more effective, but Pete thinks the Airblade looks better on the bike.

Had an airblade on the SV before it got crashed, and was never massively impressed with it. It looks good, basically just a slightly higher and extended stock-screen (looks great in dark tint on a blue curvey), and the wind-protection was a little better, but the fit was very poor around the mirror-area, to the point where the screen developed tiny stress-cracks after having the mirrors on and off a few times. These gradually got bigger and bigger, and had the crash not wrecked it, it was due to be replaced anyway!

Have since got a Skidmarx screen in the same shade of dark-tint, and it looks fantastic. It's changed the airflow quite drastically over the bike, to the point where I get buffetted if I'm sar upright at speed, but the moment I drop my head two or three inches there's virtually no drag at all and very little noise.

Same happened to me much happier with FFabri, but you get what you pay for i guess
