I want a new screen for my bike ('98 GSX600F) as due to my height the standard screen directs the wind nicely onto the top of my chest. I'm not usually one for being indecisive but for what ever reason I can't make my mind up on this one. There's links at the bottom to the screens I've found, what say the BCF masses? Flip up or double bubble? Opinions, pros/cons? Feel free to make other suggestions, but no clear or dark screens, I want light smoked.

What's a flip up screen? Flip up looks like it might offer more protection.

taller version of the standard screen with a flick up at the top - puts the wind straight onto my helmet on my ZZR but I am 6ft 1

Prefered the double bubble I had before but the mirror broke it when I got knocked off - bought a purple flip up to match the bike so can't justify changing to a purple double bubble.

bubble is easier to tuck behind and get out the air flow, with the flick I find as I lean forwards I'm still in the airflow until I'm right down behind it.

I was going to ask the same question regarding the ZZR600, as the standard screen offers me nothing at 6'2, and I didn't want to waste the money on one option to find the other was better.

Looking at the pictures the touring style seems it might be better.

But as online dating sites have shown, pictures can be deceptive Crying or Very sad
