Which screen for Pointy?

[Nobbylad]

I've had 4 screens in total, the stock screen, a powerbronze dark smoke double bubble, and MRA dark smoke double bubble and finally a Fabbri dark smoke double bubble.

By far, the Fabbri is the best and the MRA was actually the worst as it put the wind right on my lid and the noise was dreadful.

Thanks nobby! Really good to compare them directly like that

Looks-wise I can't quite decide..

I have had fabbri and puig, I like them both

Bought a Puig Double Bubble for my 2006 Sport. Perfect fit and a great improvement over standard screen in both looks and wind deflection. I'm around 5'7" and get virtually no wind blast other than at silly speeds!

I'm tempted by the Puig - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DOUBLE-BUBBLE-...item2a084d2662

Fabbri seems a teensy bit more expensive - http://www.intobikes.co.uk/products/...n=0130&pt=0138 but looks better IMO

And Airblade seems the cheapest of the lot - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SUZUKI-SV1000S...item518c78dff2

Holdup - how did you find the Airblade?

ukhammy - when you say no wind blast other than at silly speeds... I don't feel the wind blast with the stock screen other than at silly speeds (say motorway, for example) so is it really much of an improvement?

Sally - which was better, Fabbri or Puig?

Ive got a power bronze screen which is good and not expensive but the Fabbri screens look very nice

For me personally, i definitely felt the difference betwen the Puig and the stock screen.

Fabbri - not sure of the cost as it was a Christmas present from Mr LPH. Purely cosmetic in my case, I'm only 5'2" so can hardly see over the bars let alone have trouble with the wind over the top of a screen.

If you want to reduce wind noise factors to consider (outside of screen dimensions/shape) include: rider height, helmet dimensions and style, speed, cross-winds, rider stance, quality of earplugs. I'm 5' 7", have a Nolan N84 VPS full-face helmet and a Powerbronze double-bubble on a K3. It's a slight improvement on a standard screen when sitting upright and a big improvement with your head tucked down - but flip sun-visor down and it gets noisy. Thinking I might ditch the Powerbronze and try a Fabbri....

I went for the fabbri in the end, got it today! Took some before and after pics but lost the camera cable so I'll add them when the new one arrives.

P.s. intobikes.co.uk service was excellent, no ambiguity about the product, and they were lightning fast to ship, ordered Sunday evening, dispatched 8am monday!
