    Windscreen Recommendations

    I am looking to replace my stock windscreen with something a little more pretty and with a little better wind protection. I looked on Ebay and am not sure about the quality of a $10 windscreen. I looked at the laminar lip but am not sure that's what I want. I would like to find a dark smoke or mirror/multicolor that's a little taller......any recommendations of brand/model would be appreciated........Thanks

    Check out a Zero Gravity ST screen. It has a slightly upturned edge that makes it deflect as much windblast as a larger screen and still looks pretty sleek.

    I am 6'2" and I replaced the stock windscreen on my ZX11D with a "euroscreen" that has the turned up lip (picture below). Although it raised the wind blast up a couple of inches, it created a great deal of turbulence and noise around my head. I now use a Zero Gravity "Double-Bubble" because it raised the wind blast without creating the noise.

    Re: Windscreen Recommendations

    I guess the question is what kind of riding are you doing and how tall are you. I have used my Zed for two-up touring and sport riding. For sport I went with the Zero G double bubble. Its a few inches higher than stock and you can tuck behind it. It is similar to what most of the racing guys use. For touring 2-up I went to the Gustophson Super G first and for solo long touring it was great the wife however was still getting beat up. I ended up with a 08 Concourse screen attached to my stock zzr screen. I made it manually adjustable, so down it flowed good air for me solo and up it was just below my eye sight and it created a great calm spot for the wife..... I am 5-9 but Sacowen who is 6-3ish hated the super G....
