Can anyone give me some advice on a good aftermarket sport windscreen. I usually ride in a very sporty position tucked behind the screen. I want something that looks good and fits properly.

Just installed a Puig DB. Excellent quality and fit, and looks the business.

Sportech blows, I ordered the chrome speed screen, the worst fit I've ever seen on a windscreen. It was not fitted at the bottom like the stock one is, flush smooth with the fairing. just flat, with a step all around, took it back to the shop and got the zero gravity, perfect fit.

Toecutter is correct, Sportech sucks, I have the skull screen, while it really looks cool the fit is terrible, I could have cut it closer with a chainsaw, there are gaps everywhere.

People like to repeat claims of others as if it is gospil. I am sure some poeple have had fitment issues with certain products but it does not mean all of them are bad. I know fitment issues with underbody tail kits can sometimes be a problem in that it is not a direct bolt on somtimes. I have no complaints

I've got a hot bodies on mine too, one of the blue ones. Honestly, I thought the fit was sub-par too. The problem was simply to fix, though, I just drilled out the mounting holes to the next larger drill size. Before I did that, both sides wanted to warp at he edge. With the extree room from the enlarged holes, the problem simply goes away.

I like this windshield from Kawasaki. I think they called it the Stealth. It is very stable at high speed, which is what the relief holes are for. They also give it a bad look. It blocks a little more wind in the facewhich is good for after adding handlebar risers.

I just put an MRA Double Bubble on and I love it. The stock wind screen didn't block enough wind at high speeds - my Zero Gravity Sport Touring was too flimsey.

I might look at the MRA Sport Touring when winter comes and I want more protection, for now though this thing rocks, nice and thick and no noticible flexing at high speeds.
