been using the puig db dark smoke windscreen since i bought the bike and have been very happy with it. Lately i have been thinking about the suzuki light smoke db screen though, rode my friends 08 busa (exact same bike) without wearing a helmet or glasses, and it didn't seem to throw any wind into my face, seemed to deflect the wind over me much better than the puig. At about 6'1", the puig seems to blast the wind right at my head most of the time. Anyone tried the two, and which was better? It's a compromise, i think the suzuki deflects the wind a bit better, but the puig definitely looks better
puig db vs suzuki db windscreen

I would go with the one that puts the wind right in your face. That way it will be uncomfortable and will remind you to PUT A DAMN HELMET ON
very funny. I do always wear a helmet, but sometimes will ride without one and my eyes water like crazy, even with decent motorcycle sunglasses on. when i rode my friends busa with no helmet/glasses that had the suzuki db, no wind was in my face/eyes at all, even up to about 80 mph

Sorry,your statement makes no sense. ???
"I do always wear a helmet, but sometimes will ride without one and my eyes water like crazy, even with decent motorcycle sunglasses on."
Funny you should post this because I just ordered the Puig not 10 minutes before i read your post. My problem is that the stock screen puts so much wind pressure on my shoulders that even my leather jacket flaps around like crazy at high speed. This causes a vibration and it actually blurs my vision. Warbird has a Puig and he really likes it so I was going to give it a try. I hadn't even given the Suzuki one a thought but I will be interested in your experience with it, especially if the Puig doesn't cure my wind issues.
Where the website?
I got a ZG DB from their outlet store (50% discount)

beat me to it lol
guess i should have been more clear. Majority of the time i am wearing my helmet. Only time i ride without one is to warm up the chain or somethin so i can clean it, so i take it for a quick spin around the block, or a quick trip to the gas station i will go without the lid sometimes. Other than that, it's always on
don't get me wrong, the puig is a fantastic screen. Looks great on the bike. Never even had a chance to try out the stocker, bought the puig the first week i had the bike. When i rode my friends 08 busa, the suzuki db just seemed to direct the airflow a bit better right over my head, whereas the puig puts it right in my face. Not really noticeable with my helmet on, but at high speeds my head will shake quite a bit if i don't tuck down some

NOOOOOO!!!!
Simply stop wearing a helmet...you'll be able to see through it at night just fine then. Of course, your eyes may water a little bit, but hey, no worries...chances are you'll be dead in a few.
