quick question about what screen you have on your sports bike and why. Do you like it or do you hate it?

Standard, I'm too lazy to change it, and I'm not quite tall enough to need a double bubble on my bike at least.

Ive got a standard on my thundercat and thats great for generally riding round, but am seriously considering a double bubble for any long trips as things get a bit blustery on the motorway unless i stick my chin on the tank Smile
do they really make a lot of difference?

Depends on the bike, they push the air flow higher, but on some bikes. i.e. Mille's if you're the right height(6 "1 +) instead of directing it into your chest like the standard screen does it directs the airflow straight into your lid, so it's worse. If you're a bit shorter it goes over your head though.

Got a tinted double bubble on the Thundercat, the original was in poor condition, and rather than spend money on a replacement, I got a new double bubble from NEC.

when i bought the thundercat it had a double bubble on it and i was also supplied with the original screen,i have to say that the DB makes a huge difference to the wind blast and i wouldn't change back to the standard screen for anything.

It looks pretty good, but havn't really had much of a chance to use it (still on restricted license) havn't been on the motorway with it, but when I took it to the garage it seemed pretty good at 60mph.

got me a rather badly fitting skidmarx double bubble on my ZX6R. They haven't trimmed sufficient material from the screen edges which results in the screen not sitting fluomesh to the fairing one one side. Not a major problem, but it's rather gay to say the least.

My standard screen was too low that it beat the wind into my neck whilst on the motorways and was useless with a tankbag. Double bubble made my journey far more comfortable. I know they may look ugly on some bikes, but it's worth the extra comfort!

Black obviously. Anybody who gets a colour matched screen is clearly a bell end!

The Blackbird had a black Powerbronze double bubble on when I bought it but I picked up a standard screen off ebay for next to nowt because they look better.......... It took me about 10 miles to realise my mistake and the double bubble went back on. The difference in noise and blast was massive.

Double bubble.

3 reasons - The original screen obscures the clocks.
The DB directs air over me instead of into me.
It looks better.

Doing some whoring

That an MRA screen? I prefer the squared shape.
