    I just installed a Zero Gravity double bubble!!! I gotta tell you it is a huge improvement from the stocker for me. I'm 5'11 and have a Corbin gun fighter on the bike. There is a lot less wind noise at speed and my helmet doesn't buffer at all!!! I hit 120 and it was way more stable!:thumbsup:

    Pics? How much and where:thumbsup:
    I have the same problem the wind hits right on my neck which forces the air to go inside my helmet and gets noisy.
    I need something that at least hits it on my forehead without buffering
    Thanks

    You got it guys I'll snap some tonight and post them....I had the stocker on for the longest time and it was painted black on the back side...Looked real good but I wanted to be able to see thought it. But the change in aerodynamics is unbelievable. Like I said 100MPH is what is used to be like at 40MPH!!!

    I have a ZG it still lets some air in under helmet but much better on my neck, by allowing more air to pass over helmet.

    I just put my bike on the dyno Saturday to see what it is stock and it came up with 97hp. I guess I have a little work to do.

    You're right considering you have all of those mods and mine is stock. I am thinking about putting the PCIII on during the winter.

    dont get all wrapped up in Dyno numbers. the right operator can make the dyno say anything the customer wants to hear.

    Yeah, as was said, dyno machines are not consistent, and the operators are far from legit. Factory pro seems to have one of the better and more realistic setups. Stock 6 gen puts out probably closer to 87-90 rear wheel HP.

    Do some reading on dynos and find out about adjusting for parasitic losses, etc...
