Not sure what bike you have but RiDE magazine did an aftermarket screen test. The Powerbronze screens were rated as the best replacements, the standard and the Airflow scored 16/20.
Scores:
Price Score
1. Powerbronze Standard £48.75 16
1. Powerbronze Airflow £53.75 16
2. Zero Gravity Dbl Bbl £64.63 15
3. Givi DH253 £58.69 14
3. Pyramid Plastics £65.32 14
4. Fabri Standard £49.98 13
5. MRA tint Double Bubble £58.99 12
5. Pyramid Plastics Standard £42.71 12

(there was more, but I can't be arsed to type anymore). You will have to find a copy of Ride Issue 107 for full article. Razz
All screens were tested on a 2001 GSX-R600.

I've got an MRA double bubble tint, it's great. It makes a hell of a difference over the standard one

I can vouch for power bronze and Skidmarx.

The power screen on the R6 is the best £50 I've ever spent, makes faster speeds much nicer and even improves low speed buffeting too.

The skidmarx on the ZXR was pretty good, chucked more wind over my head and not into my face .

Both were exceptional build quality, and well worth their cash, both look great too!
