Re: Subject: Aftermarket windscreens

["Tony M. Watson" <twatson1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Andrew,

I am 6'2" and found that the double bubble did not send the little critters
up and over but simply planted them right on my chin and face shield. The
stock screen put them at mid chest. I was glad I was wearing a full face
helmet.

: Paul ,
:
: I am currently debating the very same purchase. I too am 6ft. Do you
: ride with or without a helmet in Wash. state? I haven't found the
: "turbulence" to be anything much when I ride helmetless. So was
: considering a Double Bubble more for asthetics (dark smoke on Saphire
: Blue) then wind issues. Though I find myself gravitating towards a
: helmet for this years riding.
:
: The only wind  issue I have, is that all the dead bugs collect between
: my chest and the gas  tank. SO if a double bubble sent the little
: critters over me, I'd be happier.
:
: Any feedback from other Zero gravity Bubble users??

: I'd like to do some long distance (e.g. 500-1000 miles/day) riding this
: spring/summer and I'm thinking of getting an aftermarket windscreen to
: help
: cut down on the amount of wind battering I typically get at highway
: speeds
: (I'm 6'0 tall).
:
: Searching the archives it seems the general impression is that the
: double-bubbles are better than the taller tourings, is this also
: applicable
: for taller riders?
:
: I'd really prefer to "try before I buy" if possible, and am wondering if
:
: there are any ST owners in western Washington state that have a
: non-standard
: screen who would be open to trading bikes for a few miles so I can see
: what
: it's like.  This may sound petty, but I'd rather not spend the cash and
: *then* find out I don't like it.
:
: Thanks in advance,
