This past week I bought a smoked Zero Gravity Double Bubble windscreen for the busa. This mod was sort of overshadowed by the Hindle install but I'm just as happy with the DB as I am the exhaust. It's not quite as exciting but it improved my riding experience greatly. Today when I took my first real ride after getting the busa up and running again I noticed right away that I wasn't getting hammered in the chest, shoulders and helmet with wind at speed like I normally do.
The wind seemed to just slip right over me for the most part, even when I wasn't really tucked. When I actually tucked down it was day and night difference from the Sportech screen. In fact, I have to watch the speedo even closer now. On one of my spirited runs testing the sound of the Hindle I kept waiting for the beating I usually get from the wind at higher speeds. That's where I usually back off. It never hit. I looked down at the speedo because I knew I was going fast enough to create the wind, and I was going WAY faster than I thought I was. My eyes were as big as saucers when I saw my speed! Like 30mph faster than where the wind usually beats the crap outta me and nothing. Just smooth sailin'. The whistle in my RF-900 also disappeared! Some of you can feel my pain there. That gets annoying as HELL, don't it?
Again, this mod sort of got overshadowed so I thought I'd start a thread just for it. The ZG DB is another mod that is worth every single penny it costs. If you're looking for a good screen that routes the wind around you I feel comfortable recommending the ZG DB as a good option. I haven't used anything else except the Sportech so there may be other options that are as good as, or even better than the DB. I think the DB is just right for me. It's big enough to knock off the wind but not as big as the sport touring screens. Perfect compromise for my tastes.
I'll try to take a few photos of it tomorrow. It looks great on the bike. So far, no rattles or vibrations either.
If anybody is interested in the Sportech black chrome windscreen let me know. I think I'm going to sell it. I may put an ad in the classified section tomorrow after I get some pics of it.
