Member Contributer sfdownhill Posted May 7, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted May 7, 2017 I'm copying this post from one I started over at the other site because I value both groups. This is just a little something I've recently discovered about 5th gen windsceens. I purchased my 5th gen with a Givi windscreen - some call it a sport touring screen. The Givi was fine for quick twisties and on a 10 day trip, but I noticed when I stood up to stretch while riding, my head and shoulders would be up in much smoother air than when seated behind the Givi. I liked the smoother air with less buffeting, so when Joey_Dude parted out his 5th gen, I bought his Zero Gravity double bubble because of its lower profile: There would certainly be more wind on my head and shoulders with the Zero Gravity, but I hoped it would be less turbulent like the wind above the Givi. The result of the comparison - taken over several rides on slab and twisties, all during April days and nights in Southern California - was that yes, there was a slight bit less turbulence behind the Zero Gravity, but there was a lot more air hitting my bare neck. Even in temperate San Diego county, exposed body parts were noticeably colder compared to the Givi. My subjective impression is that the reduction in turbulence behind the Zero Gravity isn't nearly enough to offset the temperature penalty. I'm going to switch back to the Givi. I will try the Zero Gravity again when we get to our hot season in a month or so... Cheers all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
