Screens

[BirdAddict]

My bird had a Givi screen on when I got her and I was quite happy with the wind protection it offered except for some wind battering in cross winds and higher speeds if you didn't get your head well down.
This winter, part of my prodjects was to fit a double bubble screen, kindly offered by Gizzit.

Although it was a powerbronze and is not regarded as the better ones around, I fitted it and it lookes ok.
Even better is the protection it offers, I never expected it to be so good and even had the bike upto 160mph when the red mist got the better of me whilst on our easter rideout (but that's another story)

My recomendation is Double Bubble

Think I've said in an earlier post that I've got a NUVO double bubble. It's great windwise, but I've also got the "melting dash" syndrome. Some marks appeared on the dash which I thought were due to using the wrong sort of cleaner and that it had harmed the plastic. Then I read about "melting dash" on IXXRA and had another look. It was just co-incidence that at that particular time, the line cast by the curved edge of my screen lined up exactly with the marks on the dash. So I guess it's good gen. I suppose the only answer is to cover the dash with something in bright sunlight to avoid it happening again. Maybe an adaptation of those brightly coloured sun visors car drivers use in their windscreen......Na! I don't want my 'bird looking a prat!

i got my double buuble from MandP, don't know what make though, but it does have the cbr1100xx logo on it and blacked out to hide the clock wiring, very pleased with it, works well and fitted a treat.

The nuvo isn't blacked out as standard, but I painted mine on the inside to hide the clock wiring, smartened it up no end, makes you wonder why Nuvo don't do it - cheapskates!!

I have just fitted a Motrax Fabbri double bubble. It went straight in with no fiddling about or re-drilling, so very happy with that. Available in different colours and tints, mine is "light tint" and so the bottom needed painting black to hide the electrics.

"Motrax are confident that the Fabbri screens will become the benchmark for all other aftermarket screens". I will have to look a bit closer at other screens because the Fabbri screen doesn't have the stepped mounting flange that the original Honda part has. Because of this, there is a step where the screen sits under the fairing instead of flush with it and there are small gaps where the rain can get into the nose cone, so not so happy with that!

There is more wind noise with the DB, even at low speeds, but it has certainly got rid of the buffeting to the head so I can put up with the noise.

Double bubbles don't seem to suit my riding style, tried a Powerbronze- shit fit and an MRA -great fit and quality. Now bought an MRA flip, its only around standard screen size not a barn door. Brilliant quality and fit and suits me great.

Replaced my stock screen with this Double Bubble. Love the look and it provides excellent wind protection at higher speeds. Might add some Saeng Wind Trim to it, but haven't decieded to as of yet! See ya and keep the Greasy Side of your down!!!!

I got my double bubble from spain, made by "Puig". Try www.motoplastics.com

It looks great, has a cool XX logo, comes with a darkened lower section to hide wiring, fitted perfect first time, and works wonders at reducing wind blast, buffeting & noise. I highly recommend it.

I've just tried the Motrax Fabrri one. Sent it back, the holes might be in the right place and it might be a beautifully styled screen but I'll be damned if I'm paying £50 for a sheet of acrylic that I then have to paint the bottom of to hide the clocks and scoure the earth for black sealant to fill in the gaps where it doesn't meet the body work. MRA one in the post, lets see how they do!

You'll find the MRA is good Onza, lipped edge to fit right and blacked out to hide the wiring.
Had to use sealant to seal the Powerbronze one I had before, easy fix though just buy black silicone from B&Q or other DIY places.

Now have the MRA screen on the bike. Better made than the Fabrri with a blacked out bottom section and a deeper fitting lip to match to the original body work. It's a lot more flexible than the original and the Fabrri which would be a good thing if ever I find myself flying over the top of it!

However, if I'm perfectly honest, it's not as pretty as the Fabrri one. Wht can't you get German fit and engineering with Italian design flare?
