    What's the "Best" Double Bubble Windscreen?

    I'm in the market for a double bubble windscreen (dark tint). They all seem to be about the same price. : Has anybody done any research into these to determine the best value (fit/finish/optical clarity)?

    :arrow: Your opinions are welcome and appreciated.

    Here are the ones I know about. : Does anybody know of any others?




    Double Bubble by Zero Gravity MSRP $75
    I think they pioneered/commercialized the concept, but I saw an '01 R1 recently where it didn't seem to fit very well - is this typical? Ignore this question - it turns out the one I saw was a Lockhart Phillips, not a Zero Gravity.


    Airflow by Powerbronze MSRP 45 British Pounds (appx $70 US)
    I've yet to see a picture of this one on an '02 R1


    Lockhart Phillips V2 MSRP $70
    Once again, I've yet to see this on any R1


    I've also heard of the Pyramid Double Bubble (made in the UK, price unknown)


    And Dynomite (actually made by a company also in the UK called "Skid-Marks") $65 US + $25 shipping

    Stay away from Lockhart. They don't fit very well. I can get you a good price on either Zero Gravity or Pyramid.

    I've heard mixed results about the Zero-G's, and nothing but good things about the Pyramids.

    Dave has the PowerBronze on his Mille. It DID shatter when he crashed at IMI, but I'm not sure how others would have held up in the same situation. I do know that he bought another PowerBronze to replace it, so he must like them.

    I'd say get the Zero Gravity DB. It is easy to find looks good and fits well. Do not get an LP V2 - looks ok but fits very badly. And, you have seen one, it was on my bike.

    That's a LP screen??? I thought for sure it was a ZG (and the reason for my comment about the ZG above) . Thanks for straightening me out!

    Stay clear of LP. I had one on my R6. It was ok but wasnt a perfect fit.

    I have ZG now and I love it. It fit on perfect and looks great. Got a little hook on the price though. No where near 75.00

    Thanks everyone for your input. I decided on Zero Gravity.

    And thanks to MileHighGSXR for hooking me up - he's got my new windscreen in his posession and I'll be picking it up this weekend.

    I did. Why?

    I had a bit of trouble with the fit - it's not quite the same as the OEM screen.
