KD88 Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Hihave etalks riders a new to this forum and have a question about this topic. I have a Yamaha Thundercat at with a standard screen and wind protection is not bad. I'm 6foot 2ins and Ito wondering if a double bubble screen will divert the blast from my chest to helmet? Can any tallish riders tell me their experiences? Quote
Mr Fro Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 I'm 6'2" also - I tried one on the Ninja and didn't get on with it - it shifted the stream up to my neck.I ended up binning it as I didn't like how it looked anyway. Quote
DreamytimeEscorts Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Ha! I'm also 6'2 and have one on my Ninja and I love it. Quote
DreamytimeEscorts Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 So am I but I thought it might be rude to show off Quote
hadster Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 I have always had a dub bub on my bikes, am 6ft and 3/8ths and find them very valuable Quote
Mr Fro Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 So am I but I thought it might be rude to show off I keep my 1/2" below the knees so it doesn't really show.I guess it depends which screen you get and how you sit on the bike as to how effective the whole thing is. Quote

What he said ^^^^I'm 6ft and 15/17ths (approximately) and the one I have on my CB1300 is a godsend. Unfortunately the only way you'll find out is if you buy one and try it out. Quote
banditjohn Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) I put a Powerbronze dud/bub on and it's better than the standard screen, if you want to stop it pretty much all together you'l need to fork out for a MRA Vario I think there called. I was talking to a guy late last year and he had one on his bandit and thought it was the dog's, if I had of realised it was that much better that's what I would've gone for.John Edited March 11, 2014 by banditjohn Quote
KD88 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Posted March 10, 2014 Thanks guys, I guess I'll have to give one a try and see. Quote
fq-craigus Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Im just over 6 foot and have a double on my gsxr, it diverts the air much better and at motorway speeds you can get a much better tuck from the wind Quote
