Default Re: Double bubble or not?

I've narrowed it down to these:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dark-Tint-...item27ced02829

and

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Suzuki-SV-...item1c30045874

Or they have Powerbronze screens for around £50

Can't really justify spending any more than that on a piece of perspex...

Zero Gravity light tint screen, was £75 but i sold off loads of curvy crap to buy it so was an easier pill to swallow. It looked HUGE compared to the original but now i have the bandit mirrors on it all flows a bit better. Haven't ridden it yet, still a few little jobs to do.

Could you kindly let us know how it looks and feels once you've fixed it on your bike?
Thanks.

Yep, it's huge compared to stock and I didn't mind, but took it off because I didn't like how it pushed the wind to my head on the motorway.

The airflow might be slightly different on a Pointy, so let's see how it performs when you take it for a spin.

I'll give it a good squirt up the M3 when it's ready for the road. Here's hoping it deflects the wind over my head rather than into it, how tall are you Skybaba and did/do you have clip ons or flat bars on your curvy?
Cheers

not the case i think, just because a lid is quiet doesn't make it 'decent'! to stop wind noise noise you ideally want some customised ear plugs (worth their weight in gold, imo).

but anyway, i have a DB on my curvy am about 5' 10, with standard clip ons n massively jacked up rear sets and i find it to be fine. i think most of them depend on how tall you are etc.

Mat eif you can't afford a good DB screen then save until you can. I read a load of info on here, and these good people know their stuff, and if you go for a crap one then you'll be paying good money for nothing at all. As said above, a lighter lid does help, but really you should just wait till you try the bike and save a few more quid, better than just chucking it away.

Well, I finally ordered a dark tint screen off ebay. It seems you definately get what you pay for. The sceen was advertised as a double bubble and it isn't any bigger than standard. Also the fit is poor. It took two people to fit it - one to hold/bend into place and the other to tighten the screws. Moral of the story - if you pay £19.99 don't expect it to be any good. Still, it looks nice
