VFR80025th Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 When I decided to buy my VFR I new I was buying used and there would be some wear and tear. MY bike at 14,000kms when I bought it looked virtually new with brand new Pilot road 4s. When people see it they think I just bought it brand new. Previous owner kept it clean but after I got my hands on it I raised it a level and detailed the bike to concours level of cleanliness. Now that the bike looks flawless I now I want it even more perfect and want to change out my windscreen (Surface scratched from cleaning with abrasive towels etc) to a brand new OEM or Zero Gravity SER series. LOL. OEM is $180 Can and sport SR series in $135 Is anybody sporting a ZG SR series shield on their VFR How is the fit and quality. It does not look as thick as the OEM. I know I'm obsessive but i want the bike as perfect as I can get it. To me its new. Thxs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Duc2V4 Posted February 26, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted February 26, 2018 I have one on my 5 Gen and it fits well and looks good, however the thickness of the plastic appears to be a bit thin but no issues with fitment or failure. I bought mine from their eBay outlet store, not sure if these are "seconds", imperfection items, closeouts or what have you but you do save some money and I have no issues with the one I bought.

Member Contributer Cogswell Posted February 27, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted February 27, 2018 I have a ZG screen on my 6th gen. Fit seems fine to me and about as solid as oem. Photos are in my gallery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer hotshoerob Posted February 27, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted February 27, 2018 I would try polishing out the windshield you have first. I did on mine and it came out nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you have the product specific name available? Thanks and much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer RRM Posted July 12, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted July 12, 2018 I tried installing a ZG screen ~5 years ago and at that time many people were having trouble with fitment (breaking tabs) during installation. Same thing happened for me (they replaced it and I sold it). I went with a Puig screen and love it (no fitment issues and does a decent job of wind management). The ZG screen is more of a smoke color and the Puig is more of a dark ink color. Just my $0.02. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a ZG Double Bubble on my 5th Gen and am 6'2". The wind does hit me in the helmet when I am sitting all the way up, but it isn't very noticeable unless I am at freeway speeds and even then it doesn't bother me much. I try to avoid riding slab if at all possible, but usually I just get a little lower and that solves it. For what it is worth, I am used to riding naked bikes however, so my tolerance for buffeting may differ a bit. I would be curious if a touring screen really made much difference for me, but probably not enough to buy one to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer dgordon Posted July 13, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted July 13, 2018 Team VFR, I have tried a bunch of the aftermarket screens. MRA vario-touring. Spoiler screen. Finally tried the Zero Gravity touring screen and it is by far the best. I'm 6'2. The air flow management is so much better with this I wish I ordered it out of the gate. And it looks nice on the bike too. 🙂 Highly recommended. No issues on quality or thickness either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
