Personally I think a double bubble looks better, as for practicality I don't know....

Double Bubble theoretically assists in the aerodynamics of the bike during high-speed maneuvers. (Going fatst, basically).

I doubt you'll notice the difference - maybe one mph/kph on the top end, if that. Not really relevant except in competetive racing where every tenth counts.

But, as the post before said, it does look cool. I really like the look and am planning on getting one for my bike.

The main thing a double bubble screen does is divert the wind blast away from your head / neck. It directs the wind blast over your head and onto your chest. It reduces immensly the strain on your neck and the buffeting your head gets when going quickly.

It does make a difference on the road especially on a long distance commute or on a journey that involves alot of motorway work.

Yeah, I had to read that one twice. I guess the clue is DOUBLE Bubble. The central bit pushes the flow over your head whilst the lower edges allow it to hit your chest/ shoulders. Of course, it doesn't work if your head is wider than your shoulders.
