Standard, DB look awful on NC30's IMO.

Yeah, i'm not a fan of the DB on an NC30.

The lines aren't right. In my own opinion

I think that the DB screens make it look too chunky at the front - the screen needs to be low and sleek for the sporty look

Plus if you are doing the Hizzy rep then that bike has a clear screen.
You know it makes sense!! ;)

Thankfully my wider, Silhouette nose cone doesn't make the d/b screen look too bad, but for a standard nose, I'd say standard screen.

really, i really like the db screen on a nc30, not most db screens tho, only the airblade one because it is just a constant higher screen, not like others that look like a standard screen with another screen stuck un the top, her's a pic of the clear screen on a nc30

NO!!! my TT rep bike cannot have a top box and saddle bags, or I may as well go the hole 9 yards and get a Ewan Mcgregor rep lid and make my best mate famous (still dont get what he actually does).

I just got a double bubble... had one anyway but it was cracked! I like the look on the nc30, tbf most db screens look shite cos they are just a standard screen with an extra chunk on top but the nc30 one you can hardly see the extra bubble bit... plus you have to tuck in enough to get out of the wind with a db i dread to think what its like with a standard (yes i do like to sit up on it sometimes... i commute on it) As for clear or light smoke.. i had a light smoke when i bought it and it looked alright but i think clear would be better... or do what i did and go all out for an iridium one :P gotta love the pose factor lol!
