Which screen?

Hey,

Have searched on the forum, but really wanted to know people's experience of Airblade screens, or if the more expensive ones, such as Zero Gravity are a better choice?

Getting tired of the standard screen throwing everything in my face!

I have an airblade screen. It's the same size and shape as the standard one but dark tinted.

I've had no problems with it at all

I had an MRA screen, took the wind from your upper body and directed it all at your face. Good to crouch behind though.

Also was very well made.

I have an airblade screen, it is a different shape to the standard screen.
Mine is a pointy though, maybe yours is a curvy?

The pointy one is lower than the standard screen, but with a more upright rake to it, doesn't look like a true double bubble screen.
I can't say that I notice much difference in wind blast compaired tthe standard screen, maybe a little better but not really that noticable.

Only trouble I had with it was getting the clock surround panel to fit flush against it, requiring a little of the plastic that the top screws locate into be trimmed a little. HTH

I think a lot of the time it just comes down to personnal choice and budget. I have recently purchased an F.Fabbri double bubble screen which is dark tinted and definately felt a difference in airflow when riding.

It's pretty easy to fit as well just remember that after you remove the screws to pull the rubber bungs out as well. They need a good yank to get the out and it can be a bit fiddly getting then back in but a set of long nose pliers do the trick.

+1.
Although my head is just above where it redirects the wind so works perfectly.

just fitted a zero gravity db screen to my pointy, fantastic bit of kit. Looks good too

I have a zero gravity sports touring screen on mine now due to the motorway mileage in my commute and it works a treat.

I had an Airblade on my curvy, and a ZG on my SV1000 - the ZG was definitely better quality.

Wasn't a fan of the Zero Gravity screens, great fit and quality, but just did ****e all for wind resistance and made the bike look funny at the front.

Fabbri screens, IMO, are better looking and direct more wind over and around the rider.
