Zero Gravity Double Bubble

[anthonyd5189]

Just got it and put it on.  I think it looks great and it helps very much with wind blockage...I took it on the highway to give it a test run and the difference from stock is huge.

Very nice.  How much $$$$.  The stock windscreen looks wimpy.
What year is your bike?
I am looking for a blue and white 07, but dealer has a 06 black.
It doesn't look as good in the showroom as yours does outside.  Maybe I will give the 06 a shot.
Thanks

[anthonyd5189]

It was $73...Mine is a '06.

That looks very nice, a lot better than stock. And the color looks a lot better than clear.

Great to see a picture of one of those installed - I've seen them listed as a part number, but never on a real GS.

I've been trying to decide between the ZG touring windshield or going naked and getting a Plexi-star II or III.

How much higher does the wind hit you vs. stock and how is wind noise affected?
I'm 5'7" tall.
Stock hits me right about where my mouth is If I duck down to where the wind is hitting me at the top of the helmet, the noise is actually worse.

Look fantastic!!  Glad to hear it offers good wind protection, too!

[melloGS]

Right on!...
I did this to mine...

[anthonyd5189]

Damn what did ya do?


As for wind protection...with stock if I would sit stright up the wind would hit me full on.  With the double bubble I only have to tuck just a little bit and like magic...no wind.  I'm 5'8''(5'9'' on a good day).

[PuddleJumper]

Thanks for the info.
If I'm not mistaken, the ZG touring windshield is just a bit taller than the double bubble. It might do what I want without having to go naked.

The bike that is.

Where can you buy these online?

I am to do some more touring on my 05 F and this might be worth getting to make the trip more comfortable.

[anthonyd5189]

This is where I got mine

So you got the Dark Tint?

I have a Blue 05 so I'm not sure if I want to go the dark. I might go the light tint.

Also how important is it to be able to see through your windscreen? I know I found it usefull when doing my high speed testing where I tried to get right down on the tank.

Thoughts?

After I crashed and broke my double bubble, I just ended up painting my stock screen...I can't see sht through it, oh well, it's really just personal preference.

[anthonyd5189]

You don't have to look through it...I just get down to the point where I'm looking right over it.  With the double bubble the wind isn't hitting you at this point so there's no need to tuck anymore.

You can see through it.  Just like looking through a pair of dark sunglasses...but like I said, there's no need.

Yeah it's a lot better with the DB had one on mine. It helps a lot more than you would think.

I am looking to get the touring one myself (I commute every day to work with it) was trying to figure out what it looks like on the side, the only real picture I found was from a GSRX but I guess it shows whats the height difference between the double bubble and the touring, anyone have the touring installed could confirm this on the GS500 ?

[galahs]

The clear version wouldn't have any blackout treatment on its lower half would it?

[anthonyd5189]

I dont think so...Zero Gravity's website has pictures of all their colors.
