Double Bubble screens

[Binky]

Just a quick question. I have noticed that the Fabbri screens go for about £55 where as screens such as the Airblade ones cost around £35 - £40. Is there much of a gulf in quality, are the Fabbri screens really £20 worth better than say, an Airblade screen???

Would not go back to the OEM screen, look great in light smoke.

My Powerbronze screen doesn't really cut wind noise down that much at all, but does seem to deflect the wind onto your shoulders/chin/neck more than the stock screen. Looks the muts nuts though in black on my black pointy.

I used to get a lot of turbulence under my chin with the standard screen, seemed to fire a lot of flies into my helmet. The Zero gravity cured that. (£75.00 though! ouch!)

Quality does cost, but to be honest the only real difference between the screens now a days is the style/mould of the bubble and the quality of fit. The quality of the plastic used is hardly any different between brands.

Thanks Dave. My main worry was that i didn't want to by a cheaper screen and find that it has no effect whatso ever on added wind protection.

The Powerbronze isn't exactly a snug fit either. The bolt holes line up OK, but at the top of each side where the fairing/fairing inner meet the screen, there's a gap of around 3-4 mm
