It melts the dash when pointed a certain direction in the sunlight. I believe the melting happens when the sun is directly behind the bike because it reflects off of the screen in to the dash. Correct me if I'm wrong please some one. |

You are correct Olin... but only for the morning. Don't park facing west in the morning. |

Look at it as a really need way to heat your sandwich. You just leave it on your cluster and in a few minutes, it's piping hot and ready to eat. It's a Betty Crocker Double Bubble Hot Pocket oven! |

I'm a believer in the Zero Gravity sport touring screen. Gets you out of the wind much better and doesn't look bad. It's what we're running on the racebike. (pic in my profile too) Some people prefer the style points of the double bubble but if you want streamlining and reduced fatigue, try the Sport Touring screen.

I'd trade my clear Double Bubble for an ST (clear, smoke, or dark smoke) in a heart beat. It's just hard for me to justify the cost of buying a new screen when the one I have is in such good shape. I do have one of the factory solid black screens in my garage too that I'll have to put on ebay one of these days, or I'd throw it in on the trade for the ST screen |

Since ya can't tuck behind it anyway,You can always paint the inside with a flat black and it will stop the melting effect. I think Zero Gravity should have to replace peoples clusters that got melted,Of course I'm kinda biased on that one. |

how does the double bubble effect the wind on you. i find that at highway speeds the standard screen lets the air flow onto my chest, which actually holds you up and takes some weight off my wrists. a black double bubble would look ace, but not sure if the standard screen would work better for me anyway... |
