Zero Gravity Sport Touring.

Double Bubble is just decorative. Sport Touring actually WORKS. Same company, same price.

When I saw the Sport Touring on Hals' racebikes, I tried it and amazing the difference... nothing like the 1125R but much more usable streamlining.

That is the Sport Touring windscreen on my profile and below:

The memphis shades cockpit screen has the same profile as the ZG ST but looks 100x better because of the color combos.
I got a blue fade one for 50$+ s/h if you want it.

I liked the looks of my double bubble, but it was purely cosmetic. From everything I have heard the sport touring is a lot better.

I'll echo Slaughter, Zero Gravity Sport Touring! More than just decoration, it pushes the air up and over.

I have the ZG Sport Touring & MRA from Adrenalin Moto and LOVE it. It is a couple of inches taller than stock. Doesn't work as well as the ZG ST but is a compromise between form and function. The ZG ST is on top, the MRA below (duh)

Cringblast - the ZG ST (Zero Gravity Sport Touring) has amazing wind deflection - I mean 80+ mph and you're not feeling a thing. The MRA (+3) has to be better than stock - but I have never ridden behind one. I think it is good because it is better yet doesn't look funky.

I've found my double bubble to work better than the stocker by a long ways. Perhaps the ST would be better yet, but IMO it's just uly!

Jeff, the ST IS ugly if you are concerned about how the bike looks without a rider on it.

Put a rider ON the bike and then take a picture. Look at old pics of Ciccotto and Bilansky racing the Hals bikes.

It is MUCH better than the DB type as far as functional fairing and HUGELY better than the stocker as far as wind protection.

THE BEST would be to find a way to splice on an RR or 1125 fairing.

Thanks,
