Zero Gravity Double-bubble vs Stock Screen

[Lucky34]

Right after finishing the Grills on the busa, I got my Zero Gravity Dark Smoke Double Bubble Screen.




Stock Screen:

Dark Smoke DB Screen

This is the view from where I'm sitting with the stock screen.
Notice in the reflection that my arm is on the handlebar, and the camara is right up to my face. I used to have to duck in order to see the top of the speedometer.

First your bike looks great. But does the this screen (zero gravity double) let you sit higher on the bike and take less wind? I would like a little bigger screen than the stock one I have now. I just got a set of grills in the mail, was it hard fitting them? What did you use to hold them in place. I was thinking of some 5 minute epoxy on the inside.

Thanks for the complements.

Yes, with the double bubble, you can sit higher and take less wind. (you can see from the pictures of the gages, the screen is considerably taller. Allows you to get "tucked in" really easily)

I won't lie to you, putting the grills was a bit of a pain in the a$$ in my opinion

. I think it was worth it though. Fitting them wasn't TOO hard, but I did cut my fingers with the aluminum. I used regular tape to hold the grills down until the 5 minute epoxy dried. (IT DID NOT DRY IN 5 MINUTES!!!) I also found that the epoxy was really watery and hard to control.
Here is a to a previous thread in which I installed the grills

Busaman, bike looks great. I like the screens in the fairings. The dark DB really sets off the front of the bike......

Some High Temp Silicone would prolly do the trick on the screens... I dig my Zero G double bubble as well, if you notice some vibration up around the top of the screen, remove it and put a couple of layers of electrical tape along the front tab and leading edges. This will stop the "Buzz" if it shows up.

Bike looks good man...

 

[Lucky34]

Thanks guys.
Rev, I already did the "tape mod"

The first day I got the busa, I noticed the "rattling" noice, and that night, I took the screen off and put a few layer of electrical tape on it. This was the stock screen though, I'll do it to the double-bubble tomorrow

I'm really happy with the way things are turning out. Some more things I want to do are:
1. Seat (probably a black Tobin with Red Busa Kanji on the sides)
2. UNDERTAIL!!! I want to get rid of the mudflap, but still have the stock turning signals, and a good license plate bracket
3. Exhaust. I'm debating whether to get a full system (that ends with a can on each side

, or just getting some nice slip-ons. I think the Micron Slipons that fade black to red would look pretty nice. HERE'S A LINK
4. Something to cover up the tank. (Don't really want a bra because it would cut off the nice red lines... I'm thinking about some kind of tank protector... maybe like a carbon fiber theme... tank protector, fuel cap, and handelbar things [crown?])

Lemme know what you guys think

Busa, these undertails keep the stock light, are plastic and light weight. I had one till I switched to a topgun (wanted to lower the bike more)

Tobin seats are awesome, but are not comfortable for everyone. If ya know someone with one, try it out and see if its for you.

The little stick-on or magnetic tank protectors work good to keep zipper scratches off the tank.
