What I am looking for is good wind protection on the highways. I don't like to tuck down much at all but I want to get out of the wind at speeds 70+ on the interstate. Is a double bubble good for this application? I won't go to a strict touring shield, I want to retain the Busa's nice lines.
Double bubble right for me?

Smoked DB's rock IMHO
Depends on how tall you are, I have the Zero G double bubble and I like it a lot, what I do not like however is that at 6'1" it directs a fair bit of wind into my helmet creating a bit more noise. If you really want to get out of the wind a Sport Touring screen from Zero G would be the way to go if you don't mind the slightly uh...Unique looks...

Like Rev, at 6' I get alot of head wind and noise, but at speeds >140 a little tuck and I don't feel a thing.
I too have a clear smoke so when tucking I have visibility. If you're >5'9" or so the only thing that will keep you wind free is one of the hidious sport touring screens.
Just think I know guys 6'8" so we're somewhat fortunate.

I think any DB screen is good for wind reduction.. From what your question says, I think thats your only alternative..
Maoz, I might have a different option for you here in the near future... I am working on Something for Cache and I'll post the results when finished....
CACHE, I haven't forgotten you Bro, My little Dremel poop the Bed so I am getting a new one... it will be along shortly...

Givi makes a screen for the Busa that, rather than being a raised/double bubble, it has an upturned lip on it to redirect wind over the rider (in theory).
Has anyone tried this or something similar? At 6'6", I'm going to be needing myself something for the long-distance runs myself.

Double-Bubble. Clear. Very nice. 6'3".
I also have a Dark Smoke DB that I use occasionally. It might as well be painted black it's so dark. I do some tucking now & then, so I usually stick with the clear unless I'm dressing the bike up for a nite out.

hmm so the dark smoke is almost black??Double-Bubble. Clear. Very nice. 6'3".

I"m looking for something that will go with the black on my 40th. Do you think the dark smoke is too dark?

Dark smoke is DARK. Not opaque, but you'll NEVER see through it on the bike. It goes with the black on my '02 just fine. I actually got this dark-smoke by accident. It was *supposed* to be light smoke, but I figured I'd keep it. It looks good on the bike, but when I tuck I only see about a 1" strip between the windshield and my helmet's part above the visor.
