    Best windscreen on the market?

    I'm looking for a double-bubble type in clear for the gixxer.

    What are your recommendations?

    The cheapest one... I always seem to fall after replacing a windscreen.

    Re: Best windscreen on the market?

    I bought a double bubble zero gravity for my CBR.
    I returned it. I think the Puig's have higher quality shape and finish.

    I ended up buffing out my scraped up OEM with 1500 grade sand paper
    and clear plastic polishing compound. Results aren't the greatest
    but its saved me $75 for now.

    I had Puig on my RR and Zero Gravity on my current R6...I like the Puig a lot more in looks and quality.

    Echo the others... Puig is the nicest I've had for fit and finish... definitely nicer than the Zero Gravity I've had.

    Re: Best windscreen on the market?

    Puig gets my vote as well love the fit and finish of mine... If money is no option get yourself a magical racing carbon windscreen. In my eyes to absolute best looking carbon parts out there are made by magical... They are expensive though last I checked it was 350$ before all the economy problems. Can't say for sure it they are even still in business... But puig gets my vote. Fits as good as the stock one and looks much better.

    Pimp screen, got one on the Aprilia. Good luck finding one in the US though.

    Re: Best windscreen on the market?

    alright so I see alot of other votes for puig but here's the thing. When I got mine I had this issue:
    two of the holes had to be drilled out more by me. For some reason the second holes down on both sides were too small for the well nuts to go through. I asked a local dealership and they said they have alot of complaints about puig and they were now steering people towards other brands.

    I did get it drilled out correctly (I used reverse drilling instead of forward to keep from possible cracking) and it's now on the bike and it looks/fits perfect!



    Here's a crappy one of it installed, well sorta installed.

    doesn't make a difference - but your team is sponsored with zero gravity and hotbodies (i'd go zero gravity)

    I forget what forum it was but I heard a few other guys bashing puigs fitment. Don't know if it's 'cause they're boneheads and don't know how to install it or what.

    Don't get me wrong either, I love mine so far and would still highly recommend it. People kept telling me to send it back. I was like NOOO I can drill a freakin' hole and have it installed in 10 mins instead of waiting 4 weeks for another one.

    Re: Best windscreen on the market?

    Degsy just go with a puig for a street bike... good quality and fit.

    Since my R6 is track only now, I just stock up on OEM's from all the street guys who want to have a pimped out double bubble... beats having to drop 70 bucks on one at the track when you bust yours...

    You sure your bike isn't tweaked or you got the wrong windscreen?

    I've never ever seen that happen.

    Nope nothings tweaked on my bike(I didn't have to touch the bike only the screen) and it was def. the right one. checked the number on it twice. Would there be an reason at all that two holes would be ANY smaller than the rest? Not that I can think of but...? I had the stock well nuts and two after aftermarket versions and none of them would fit the 2 smaller holes, not even close. Now that's it's installed it fits perfectly so I still assume it's the right one.

    The numbers on the bag are :
