Title: Which screen???
Post by: shaggy on 24 August 2015, 09:28:12 am
Ok guy's after a little advice please :D which screen would you recommend for the foxeye please? I think mine is original & is ok for me up to 70ish or if I want to lay flat on the tank! but other than that the buffeting is awful, the wind just seems to catch me under the chin making my head bob about like a weeble! :lol The fact I use a shoei lid just makes it worse as they aren't the quietist of things to begin with!!

I had the same. Double bubble cures it completely.

I'm 5'11. Think a double bubble will be good for 6'1. It does make a big difference on a Foxeye

My last one I ended up choping about 2 inches of mine and that cured it for me and cheaper than buying a new screen

Anyone got pictures of their double bubbles - and who made/sold them ?


It would help decide which one to get.

oooh that looks posh! :eek

I will look forward to the feedback, I got an evening pass yesterday & went out for a really good thrash, I did notice that as it wasn't as breezy as it has been of late the buffeting wasn't quite as bad as it had been but I still found it annoying at high speed!

I have mounted it two days ago and I do have tested it today, frankly there is some difference but not much. Looks the job though  :lol

MRA vario on mine , I only notice the buffeting above 90 , so not to often as I rarely use the motorway, I am only 5'8'' short legs long body , I have never ridden it with the original screen , so unable to compare    but I do have the original and it is quite a bit smaller .
