Title: Double Bubble vs Flip Up (touring) Screen
Post by: Enceladus on 10 July 2013, 03:08:40 pm

i currently have a double bubble screen on my 2001 fzs600
would i notice any reduction in wind buffeting / noise with a touring style screen ?
thanks :)

Has anyone got any advice on this as I'm in the same situation. Fitted a double bubble thinking it would reduce the buffeting at speed but i'm sure it's made it worse and with a looser front end just to add to the fun.


Any advice on a common make of touring/taller screen you fellas are using would be appreciated  :thumbup


Cheers

Not used one on a gen 1, but my gen 2 had a touring screen fitted which was deafening!
Always had d/b screens on my boxeyes with no problems. Pretty quiet for me.

I made myself a mra vario from using a cut down top of an old screen , and vario hinges bought from the mra importer for around £25 this works very well on my foxeye 600 , works much better in fact than the genuine vario which I have on my gen1 thou, although the bikes and screens layout look the same , they are quite different on the two bikes
