    Wind deflection from screen

    PSB,
    I want a new tinted screen for the blade,
    trying to work out how much wind deflection a Double Bubble screen will make on my bike.
    anyone know how much of an angle/ height change a DB windscreen will make?

    Bike is a 954 fireblade, in normal sit-up riding position at legal speeds- stock screen puts the wind just below my helmet/top of shoulder blades. Im wondering if a DB screen would put the wind above my helmet or into my helmet?

    Any advice/opinions appreciated.
    Cheers

    Fucken heaps of difference.

    If you got wind hitting you in the chest and up, double bubble will deflect it pretty much to just your head if upright. Did it to the busa, and it was a world of difference, even though the double bubble is only about 1 inch taller.

    I always replace my factory screen with a tinted double bubble on my blades. Don't know the math but it's something I can def tell the difference with.
    I used to have a nice sig offering to shadow ppl. Now I have no sig...

    makes heaps of difference. replaced mine with one and it reduced the wind preasure on the helmet. Had an off and they replaced it with a normal one and I hate it. Just getting around to ordering a double bubble again.

    You'll also notice race bikes all have a double bubble profile.
    Not for individual sale.
