Is there a company that makes windscreens for Firebolts in different colors? I was hoping for a screen with a blue tint. Also, I know you can get footguards in an amber color from the Buell website. Is there a company that makes them in different colors? Thanks. |

memphis shades just came out with gradient color windscreens. Zero Gravity also makes a lot of different color screens. |

Thanks, Brian! Once again, the Badweb comes through. BTW, is that a double-bubble windscreen on your XB? What brand is it? Are you happy with the quality? |

I always recommend the sport touring instead of double bubble. I ran both the double bubble, then crashed, then after looking at the Sport Touring on Hals' racebikes, tried it on mine - much better and it's not bad looking (check my profile) - also here's the link for the Zero Gravity so you can compare: http://www.zerogravity-racing.com/sportbikes/buell_sptbks/855.htm The Sport Touring definitely functions better, gets you more out of the wind and probably helps reduce drag more than either of the other two. Also comes in about 10 colors. (Message edited by slaughter on May 14, 2006) |

yes that is the double bubble, but I'm with Slaughter on this one, when the time comes I'll be ordering another sport touring version. My last one got broken in a tragic garage incident. |

Matt @ trojan has some UB3R SLICK iridium ones. They expensive as hell and take forever to get. But unless I SEE one of the memphis shades blue fades I'm gonna be ordering another one from Matt in the very near future. |

The double-bubble melted my dash after leaving it in the sun one day... seems to focus the rays like a magnifying glass. Other than that, I have been happy with mine. |

The parabolic effect of the double bubble focusing sunlight on the gages is a common problem with the double bubble when parked with the sun behind it's tail. If you are aware of the problem it is pretty easy to avoid though. |
