It would be helpfull to state the model bike that you are looking for a sceen for. I'm gonna assume that you want one for a Firebolt. I would go with the Zero Gravity screen you can get it from most any of the board sponsors. |

Zero Gravity makes quality screens. If you are trying to save a few bucks try here... http://www.zgoutlet.com/ these are factory seconds and will have blemishes. But I recommend buying from a board sponsor like DaveS or American Sport Bike. |

I just got the zero gravity double bubble in dark smoke, it really looks slick. A huge plus is that it's slightly taller and keeps the wind of your torso at high speeds |

I went with the Zero Gravity ST screen. It's a little taller than the Double Bubble, but I don't have to worry about covering the dash to prevent melting the gauge pod. Check out my profile pic, it's really a good looking screen, and it's the same screen the race teams were using!! Schmitty |

I second the ZG ST screen... It keeps a bit more wind off at highway speeds and it even comes in the stock amber color if you have a 12R... Kevin |

The ZG Double Bubble works great on the XBR bikes. Noticably improved wind deflection from the stock screen, but the previously mentioned ST screen has a little more of a 'lip' to deflect it even more from what I've heard (ST owners pipe up). I have the ZGDB on my 'bolt and think it functions and looks great. However... With the DB, be forewarned of burning of the upper plastic rim on your instrument cluster when your bike is parked with its tail to the sun. The curvature of the screen focuses some sun and can cause some melting at this specific spot. Many have posted about this (search the archives). When I read about it happening to others, I thought it sounded pretty bizzarre, but it happened to mine, too. I've personally traded email with Zero Gravity about the problem, who acknowledges that it occurs (even with similar ZG screens for other bikes), but doesn't do anything that I know of to warn customers. I think this only occurs with the DB, not the ST screens. (Message edited by tork on April 23, 2006) |

The ST series screen does have a slightly taller lip to deflect a bit more air. And no the ST does not have the melting problem. Schmitty |
