Im looking to get a new windscreen for my bike... i want it to be a double bubble kind.... to ease the wind noise and whatnot since im 6'2...

anyways... iv seen few here and there... some are really tall and ugly some look subtle... i dont know which brand makes the normal lenght good looking screens....

i would also like it to be light smoke ...

---

and i have 2 oem windscreens.... one has 2 cracks on it... nothing broken off. and the other one is completly intact cept for normal use scratches here and there. how much would they fetch me if i sell?

Unless you ride mostly laying down the double bubble will direct more air to your head while sitting up.

I use and AirBlade, I'm 6'1" and I found that the AirBlade was even a bit tall so I cut it down to suit my riding style, so I'm suggesting have a look at one of thiers. I paid about $65 off Ebay. It is also one of the best double bubbles to fit the F$, the double bubble comes all the way down to the fairing, not half way through the windscreen like most others for the F4. JMHO.

I have pics in my gallery. I used a dremel with a cutting disk and a file, turned out perfect. I masked the area to cut with masking tape, drew my lines, cut it to shape and filed it smooth. Mind you, I have alot of experience working with plastics.

If you want better pics than what's in my gallery, let me know, I'll post em.
