Organized Double-bubble thread

[CSpronken]

Hey all, I'm looking to add a DB screens to my curvy and I've read most threads. Problem is it's all over the place and it's difficult to get a good feel for what each screens does, cause everyone is of a different height.

The wind is now hitting my upper body and up (6'2). If I understand correctly you either want the wind to go over your helmet, which will be increasingly difficult with increasing height and depending on the make of the DB screen or you want it to hit just below your helmet. (Please correct me if I'm wrong here). As far as looks go I probably prefer the Powerbronze for now.

So to get a better picture of what each screens does to each rider I would like start a DB screen thread where everyone lists all relevant information:

1 Curvy or Pointy?
2 Height? (6'2 here)
3 What make is your DB screen?
4 Where did the wind hit ya with the original screen (possibly speed)?
5 Where does it hit ya with the DB screen and how comfortable/noisy is it (speed)?
6 How is the fit/finish
7 Got any pics?


P.S. I know there are a lot of DB threads, but since not everyone gives all information it's very hard to estimate what screen is best for what rider.

1 Curvy or Pointy? Curvy

2 Height? 6'0

3 What make is your DB screen? Fabbri

4 Where did the wind hit ya with the original screen (possibly speed)?

Made my head wobble all over the place at 80+ mph

5 Where does it hit ya with the DB screen and how comfortable/noisy is it (speed)?

Head doesn't wobble, although still get a bit of wind to head and body. Comfy sat up to 90-95 mph, tend to crouch down for autobahn cruising at 100 mph +

6 How is the fit/finish

Fit is pretty good, went in reasonably well. The finish is very good, looks smart, and gets comment from others, incl non SV riders.

7 Got any pics? yes

.

1 curvey
2 6ft
3 power bronze
4 in the chest
5 in the face but at speed I tuck in
6 spot on
7 yes see below

1 Pointy
2 6'2"
3 Puig
4 Original screen was a visor down job after 35-40mph
5 Puig DB is a visor down job at 65ish (no rain). Bit of buffeting around my head at 80+. Its definitely not high enough for my height, but I'm not sure any screens are perfect for 6' plus without looking ridiculous
6 Really well made, even come with screen trim. Fits perfectly, and the seller on ebays p&p is excellent.

1 Curvy or Pointy? = Pointy

2 Height? = 5'7"

3 What make is your DB screen? = Fabbri

4 Where did the wind hit ya with the original screen (possibly speed)? = On the shoulders and face, gets worse with speed.

5 Where does it hit ya with the DB screen and how comfortable/noisy is it (speed)? = In the face, gets better over 80mph. Still a bit noisy but protected a lot more from the wind.

6 How is the fit/finish = Excellent

7 Got any pics?

Thanks so far guys, those are exactly the kind of responses I was looking for. Think this is the most informative for people looking for DB screens like myself. Keep them coming.

1 Curvy or Pointy?
Pointy
2 Height?
5'4"
3 What make is your DB screen?
Fabbri
4 Where did the wind hit ya with the original screen (possibly speed)?
Erm.. had the DB screen for ages, I think I didn't really notice it in a racing crouch.
5 Where does it hit ya with the DB screen and how comfortable/noisy is it (speed)?
Bit more noisy (wind vortex I think), quieter if I don't crouch as much.
6 How is the fit/finish
Alright, very small gap on the rhs (as you sit on the bike) between fairing and screen.
7 Got any pics?

Here is another shot from a curvy Powerbronze DB screen:



I think it looks very well integrated into the design of the bike, as if it was designed with it from the start.
