Hi,
Being 6ft 2" leaves my helmet out on the breeze, so does any one have a source for after-market screens that have a better shape that flick the wind up or are double bubble that give better air flow.

Pictures of such beasts would be nice as I have a HK connection who can get them made for me if required but he will need a photo as he is no biker

Thanks

The zero gravity is the same style and design as the stock one. I just changed mine and they were the same size.

Are you looking for a taller one or tinted one and brand new?

M,
thanks guy, the taller bit is good news as to tint I would prefer clear since I do occasionally ride at night and then I end to "hurry" and get in the bubble :whistle I will be tinting the original just to hide the clock rear ends & get better contrast at night

new / s/h not fussed if it is not scratched to hell.
other models seem to have the touring version shields available which have a distinct upward curl at the outer edge which would be ideal I would think.

An old pal up north has been in contact when he read about my search and asked that I call him so I live in hope.
