Rear Hugger and Windscreen Brand Question

Post by Pete Diggs »

Hi all,

I"m trying to do some research on which windscreens and rear hugger to buy. Unfortunately most of the sites I've seen don't show the actual item and if they do, it doesn't show it fitted to the bike.

So far for windscreens I've come across for far:

Windscreens- Rear Hugger: I'm between the Airblade and Skidmarx double bubble, but not sure how they would look so far.

Anyone know of any others or have any experience with there?

If it's for looks then I reckon clear standard shape looks best. Double bubbles work well at higher cruising speeds but look naff in my opinion.

Tyga also does a variety of screens.

Tinted screens are so 90's! 8-)

:plus: im not too keen on double bubbles either most of them especially the cheap chinese ones i think stick up far to much and spoil the look of the bike , however i think the tyga ones are not too bad the bubble is very minimal and its not too far off the standard shape,
when i can be bothered ill change mine to a standard clear shape as i think it will look better

I agree that a majority of double bubbles can really ruin the bike's flow. That's why I'm trying to make the best decision before buying.

Deviant yours has the shape I'm looking for. It seems that it can function well and still look aesthetically good.

I also did some digging and found this MRA brand http://www.bikehps.com/acatalog/Honda_R ... #aCOL29539
