Hi, I'm new to the forum. Im currently using the Yamaha double bubble screen, its much better than the stock screen but still not as good as id hoped and its dark black so if i want to mount a camera on the tank it wont see anything. I like the decals on it but am still looking and thinking of trying the Givi touring screen.

Has anyone tried it?

Are you sure that's the Double Bubble? From the picture it doesn't appear to be one. Maybe its just the glare of the picture but that just looks like a black standard windscreen.

Yamaha makes two, ones all black, the other is only 1/3 black and 2/3 clear.I believe the clear one has a slightly more aggressive bubble and works a little better than the all black.You can tell that the clear version is about 1" taller

I was gonna say, cause I have the clear one right now and it looks much more aggressive than the one pictured. Maybe that's why it looks different to me :D

Wife wants a budget and I think I might need to be smart and agree! :)
What is that? :D I keep spending way to much money and the girlfriend is gonna start yelling pretty soon. lol

LOL! That started happening here already.. Last thing she allowed me to get was the Rizoma goodies. I think that was only because when I went down it damaged my crankcase cover and I explained that it is protection for the bike.

I think I really need to set a budget.. There are soo many bike things I want for this bike and getting a second bike, but yet need stuff done at home like MudJacking 3 patio slabs, sealcoating driveway and then I want a shed eventually also and fence... I think I need to figure out a fair and reasonable amount allowed to spend every year and be strict. Like direct deposit to a account, only when $ accumulated, then I can buy the goodie I want at that time...
Sounds about right for me as well. Unfortunately, the girlfriends driveway is past the point of just getting it seal coated, that we have to get it completely done. Gotta clean out the shed and possibly repair the sides. And we just started making the backyard a more enjoyable place, (tiki torches, outside furniture, radio, things like that) Money goes way to fast.... :(

Thought I'd toss in a review of the puig racing windscreen. Really like it. It's only a bit longer than the stock screen, a little over a half inch or so. But it's more curved shaped seem to help direct the wind that was hitting me in the face up around the top of the helmet. For reference I'm 5'10". Very satisfied.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1371334666.268405.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1371334675.692409.jpg

Been eyeing up that screen. As long as it smooths out the turbulence at 70-80mph. That's my speed range for commuting to work.

Don't know if anybody has this one as it kind of flies under the radar as an XJ6 screen, but I just installed for my wife a Powerbronze double bubble. I literally haven't even ridden at all with it yet, but it looks taller than stock.

I have the Puig Touring screen and really liked it compared to the OEM screen. The only thing I didn't like was that it was so tall. But the OEM screen gave me so much turbulence that I couldn't stand it.

Since I was going to throw the OEM screen away anyway, I decided to experiment with it. So I painted my OEM screen black. One day I decided to throw it back on and make due until I could buy a better one because I like the look of the blacked out screen. But... I suddenly didn't have the turbulence problem that I had before. The reason? I got a new helmet. I upgraded my Bilt helmet for the Seven Zero Seven Vendetta 3 helmet and viola! Turbulence is gone, even at 100+ (cough cough) mph.

So now my touring screen is sitting wrapped up in my garage and I'm sporting the OEM screen again. I'm very happy. Who would have known I would fix my turbulence problem with a helmet switch?
