I have their "Z Racing" windscreen. Which is essentially the same shape & size as the OEM screen. However mine is Dark Smoke I love it. Fit & finish are good.

The Double Bubble is a larger 2 step screen that will offer more wind protection.

I have seen pics of the one w/ the lower black section & the Kanji.....although I am unsure if that one is a Puig.
Tim @ Pashnit or quite a few of the other board sponsors carry them.

Sorry...I'm @ work and unable to provide any pics.

the DB is a slighty taller wind screen and puts the wind up over the helmet a little better than the OEM screen. Also IMHO it looks better and flows with lines of the Busa better

I have the Puig Z-Racing Screen. That's what they call their double bubble screen. There is a significant difference in wind protection over the stock screen. It's no touring screen, but when you tuck in it's pretty much got you covered. I like that the clear Puig fades to black (with kanji) toward the bottom, but is clear up where you'd want to see through it. It makes for a nice transition with the dark colors of the bike. I just got a fairly large order from tobefast.com (a .oRg sponsor) and their service and prices were great. You might check with them. Here's a stock photo of the screen. Oh, the little red and white logo on the side is a sticker and comes right off. The kanji is a permanent printing.

One more thing and I'll quit rambling. The black at the bottom is some sort of frosting substance on the back side of the screen. Mine had some small scratches in the black when it arrived. They were pretty noticeable, but quickly disappeared with a quick hit of black Sharpie. That was a few months ago, and it still looks perfect.

Not sure if that is correct. Pictured below is a photo of a Puig DB. It's looks different then our Z Racing screens. The funny thing is....it appears it depends what company website your viewing on what pic they show given the description. But they definitely offer a true "Double Bubble"

Sorry if I got it wrong, but hopefully he'll be able to find what he's looking for either way.


Now lemme go see if I can get a sideview pic in the garage...

The first pic is the rider's view. I'm too tall to see the turn signal indicators with the stock screen, so this is much nicer in that respect. Pardon my bugs...

Some have the kanji and some have a 1300R logo. I'm not sure what the difference is.

The fit is pretty tight. I had to bend mine quite a bit to get it to fit, but there was no problem with the holes lining up or anything like that. I'm thinking that's probably done on purpose to prevent problems with vibrations or rattling.

I have the original double bubble like Bluehaya's except in dark smoke. They are much better than stock IMO because they have better wind, rain, and sleet protection and I can actually see my gauges and gear indicator which I have mounted above the dash. I'm at work right now but can post up pics when I get home in the morning. They are well worth the money if you spend much time on your bike!
