I have a Sportech V-Flow lightsmoke windscreen and love it... Kinda liked its shape better than de DB from ZG, its rounder and i find it matches the shapes of the upper fairing of the bike.

I am 6'1 and needed a windscreen with more adequate wind protection, this one definitely helped by 300%

Forgot to mention that it also depends on where you like wind flow for upright riding and tuck.

I like the wind flow, when upright, to hit in the chest...and when in tuck, to flow over shoulders and the top 1/2 of the helmet.

Some don't like the wind to hammer in the chest when upright, but I like it because it reduces helmet buffeting, allows me to cool off if I am hot, and helps take pressure off wrists by pulling you upright.

Also has anyone seen the black vs the Dark Smoke Puig screens?
Dark Smoke is pretty dark; I wouldn't recommend looking through it with a tinted face shield - you won't see much of anything.  The Black is almost opaque.

Sorry, no pics; I returned the dark smoke since it was too dark. I tried the light smoke out, but Puig is putting a bunch of graphics on the screens now + I'm not interested in all that (just want a screen....)
Hmm, honestly the stock windscreen works great for me but I wanted the dark just for looks.

And I am like you, when in a full tuck I use the windscreen to see thru.

Heck, maybe I will just keep the stock.

I sure wish I could just try on the red screen though.

I videotape through a ZGDB dark smoke with suprisingly good results. Lots of different makes & shapes out there for the Busa, but the ZG optics are first-rate. Much clearer than OEM.

Clearer that Puig?

Who sells the ZGDB dark smoke for a good price?

At 6', I would go with a standard double bubble...either sero gravity or powerbronze.

ST is a really tall screen...and if you were 6'3"/6'4" or taller, I would recommend it.  I am 5'9" and love the zero gravity double bubble lo-profile (cut lower and doesn't sweep back as far as the regular double bubble).
Jynx, is the low profile screen much taller over stock and is your smoke or Dark smoke?

I use the zero gravity sport touring and it works just fine with plenty of visibility. Doesn't look quite as mean but I love it

Light smoke...and it fits the '05 LE to a "T"



I posted some pics in there for another reason, but you can see the screen. I especially love the front on shot.

About where does the wind hit you in a semi-tuck with that Puig? Does it come up quite a bit higher than the stock screen and can you see thru it ok?

ZG DB Dark Smoke,,,I love it at 5'11" no buffeting at extreme high speeds, normal riding can see gauges perfectly. I wont even look at another brand, this one does it all for me..
