Guest SagaciousDupe Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Thanks for the tip. Plan to get one this spring. Found a US distributor a month back. your pics look great. :thumbsup: Just have to decide on dark smoke or light smoke. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If you hold on a day or so, the dark smoke should be waiting for me when I get home tomorrow night. (their 'racing' or DB screen) It will be dark by the time I get home and get it on, but I will provide a garage shot for you! They show up on ebay every week or so...got mine $75 delivered.

Guest SagaciousDupe Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Here are a few pics of the Puig dark smoke racing screen. It's slushing out. Again. I had a hard time getting the pictures to come out right...every time the flash would go off it would make the screen look opaque rather than smoke. Here were my best shots...

Thanks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I had just put the screen on before taking these pics; I don't know about the buffeting yet. It will be interesting...this screen is not much taller than stock. The bubble part is just a bit forward from the stock. (does that make sense?) Here is an ebay link. Check out the photo. There is a good profile comparison for the different models of Puig windscreens (wish it was a VFR, but still a good reference). http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PUIG-HONDA-...itemZ4605832818 Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am interested in getting a screen that puts the wind right above my helmet to keep the largest part of the wind off of me to provide some wind protection. Basically for comfort and rain protection. That's why I was interested in the ZG touring screens. I'm older now and have no desire to go over 100mph anymore. Thanks for any input you guys can add.

Member Contributer tharkun Posted February 6, 2006 Member Contributer Share Posted February 6, 2006 I tried 4 different windscreens before settling on the MRA Vario touring screen. Works great. Nice smooth bubble from an indicated 70mph up to 115mph. (on a test track with a trained professional rider of course). :goofy: Can also be adjusted down to allow airflow for those super hot days. A bit pricey, but the time I spent testing the others would have paid for two! This one also has "Micro Swirl Edging" added to it. (talk about pricey! Micro Swirl is nearly $13.00 a foot! Yikes!) ..... Ok, Avid One, Enlighten me please. What is the Micro Swirl Edging' benefit? I had not heard of this stuff before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much helmet buffeting at freeway speeds, worse than stock. I will be trying the MRA Vario Touring screen next. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer RoadSteed Posted February 7, 2006 Member Contributer Share Posted February 7, 2006 I replaced the stock windscreen with a ZG double bubble and love it. I'm 6'2" and I found the stocker put the wind directly into my helmet and buffetting was bad - the ZG cured that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Avid One Posted February 7, 2006 Member Contributer Share Posted February 7, 2006 Ok, Avid One,Enlighten me please. What is the Micro Swirl Edging' benefit? I had not heard of this stuff before. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, it is designed to...ahhh...let's see...hmmm.. here's a link to the Micro-swirl page. http://www.saeng.com/4000.htm It does a better job than I could at describing the alleged benefits. I say alleged as they make it sound like some sort of miracle, but it just a moderate improvement on my setup compared to just the MRA Vario alone. I don't mean to sell it short though. I had a great ride in 70deg weather on Sun, but I stayed with friends too late and it was closer to 40deg when I went home. The smoother airflow and slightly increased envelope size helped me from becoming a popsicle on the 75-80mph freeway blast down 101 so. (Ohhh Nooo!, did some one say something about the CHP using LIDAR in CA?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aardvark892 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Sagacious, is your VFR orange or did it just turn out that way in the picture? I really like orange on a VFR... I might just get my '05 painted that color! BTW, I just received my ZeroGravity sport tour screen last night, and I give it highest marks for looks, quality, and ride.

Guest Aardvark892 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I still like that color. Here's some pictures I just took of my 05 with the ZG SportTour screen (I had to blank out the base sticker, if you're wondering what this is above my left front turn signal): Tim border='0' alt='user posted image' /> 3/4 view border='0' alt='user posted image' /> Head on BugEye border='0' alt='user posted image' /> VFR at Holloman border='0' alt='user posted image' /> In front of a Starfighter in New Mexico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dallasb Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Okay, how about this for those of us trying to figure out which windscreen to buy. Post your VFR generation, which exact windscreen, your height, your helmet, and if you have raised or lowered the handlebars. And finally, where the wind hits or doesn't hit you. Thanks My turn first: 6th gen Zero Gravity stock replacement 5'9" Arai Quantum 2 raised bars ~1" wind hits at collar bone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ikazuchi Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Picked up my new Puig DB dark smoke screen yesterday and put it on last night. What a PITA that trim was to install... took me a bit just to get it started. Wish they did that at the factory...lazy bums. Big windflow improvement for me over stock (5' 9").... and most importantly... it looks good :D I noticed the warning sticker about leaving your bike in direct sunlight.... anybody ever actually had their DB burn a hole in their dash? :goofy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking to replace the stock screen and I am about 5'9" so I am leaning towards the Puig. Somehow managed to get a bunch of swirlmarks in my stock screen already. Anyone else have that problem? Suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I'm having a really tough time deciding between the ZG sport touring screen and the Givi "flip-up" style touring screen for my 6th gen. Both seem like they'll give the protection I'm looking for, can anyone briefly offer their experiences with either of these products? Input on both quality and function would be appreciated.I know some of you have installed the Puig screens recently. I'd also be interested in hearing about the quality/performance of those screens so long as they are the touring version...not interested in the stock replacement or the dbl-bubble type screens. Thanks in advance for your feedback. I really like my GIVI windscreen as it's taller than the stock screen and provides better wind protection for me as I am tall with the stock screen the wind was hitting me just about the middle of my chest . With the GIVI touring screen the wind just grazes the top of my helmet ..I have pics.. 000_0007.JPG 100_0302.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I too am wondering about the ZG ST screen, I've got a 5th gen w/ Heli-bars and the stock screen definately causes some buffeting above 65mpg w/ me being 5' 10" tall. Looks wise the ZG ST shield still looks some what sporty which I do like, but at the same time large enough maybe it'd make an improvement? Guess I'm just tagging along looking for more opinions of this particular screen. I've considered the DB style's but fear they'd be a waste of time and merely a cosmetic improvement only.
