Hello Guys and Gals, I currently use a zero gravity wind shield, as i have a the short wind screen spare, i'm planning on getting a laminar lip to use on the short screen i'd like to know how it works with you, and if it's worth the money , as my idea is to use the zero gravity on small rides and on longer ones the laminar if it really works taking of the wind. Thank you. | ||

I've tried them on several different bikes I've owned, they've worked well for me (with the exception of the install on a cruiser...). Your mileage - depending on your height, the windshield height, and windshield shape - may vary. If you get one, I'd recommend experimenting with the mounting position a bit to see what works best. | ||

I have the Laminar Lip on my standard short screen. It's fitted as high as it will go. I'm 6'2" with a 33" inseam and it works well for me  | ||

I have the Laminar Lip on a standard short screen. It's fitted slightly low. I'm 5'9" with a 30" inseam. I get some turbulence around my helmet but a noticeable decrease in wind pressure on my upper body. | ||

Thanks Guys, i'll go and get one, and will post back when i try it out. | ||

I have my Laminar Lip installed on my ZG screen. Works AMAZING on the highway. Then once I get where I'm going, I just pull it off. Two Things: 1. You NEED the lower "tall windshield recall" kit. The bolts will prevent the shield from backing out. 2. Also you'll need a bumper between the fairing and the ZG screen in the center up high. This will prevent the screen from flexing back. I used this set up for a 9 hour highway ride last year and it was great. I put a strip of the interlock velcro on so I could adjust to my liking. I love it that way. Works really well. I'm 6' even and I can get it to take all the wind off my body, yet still have clean air my helmet for cooling. Once I'll clean up the bike this weekend, I might get some pics. | ||

Well, I'll be darned. I do have pics...(They just don't show the lower "recall" bolts. But trust me...you need them.     | ||

I'm chiming in late here, but count me in as another devotee of the Laminar Lip. Blocks the wind where it counts and still feels like a real roadster. --Doc | ||

ditto here. The lip on the standard screen works great for my little over 6' height. Glenn | ||

Michael, what brand handguards are those? I likem.... | ||
| Michael1 |
The handguards are Cycra Probend's. They prevent the levers from breaking when the bike happens to nap when exploring off road...and on for that matter. The fit is great, I did have to use some 1/2" spacers to clear the radial master cylinder. No vibration, I can still ride the bike for hours on end without any numbness in my hands. | ||

Thanks to all, about the pinch bolts i just drilled them and used a flat top screw and a luck nut just painted them black and for sure they will never move, so i'll soon be purchasing the smoked laminar lip and will give my feelings about it. when i have the chance to try it out. Thanks, Miguel | ||

If you have the tall screen like a Zero Gravity and ride over 100mph be sure to BOLT the screen inplace. Mine flew off and bonked me in the face at around 105mph. I went back to find it but the 22 fwy at rush hour in Southern California is a dangerous place. |
