    Hi All,

    I have searched round the forums a bit but have not really found the answer I was looking for.

    What I want to know is what double bubble screens you would recommend for my VFR. I have a A-9 in white and at the moment I the wind from the screen seems to hit me right in the visor whilst cruising on the motorway etc.

    I am 6 ft tall.

    Is there a screen out there that anybody could recommend that will push the wind either over my helmet or just reduce how much is hitting me in the face.

    The girlfriend and I want to go touring in Spain but I get exhausted after riding for more that 2 hours cause of fighting the wind so would love some recommendations on what I could change my screen to in order to make things a bit easier.

    Thanks

    James

    From my experience, some aftermarket screens for the vtec dont fit very well, it depends on how fussy you are.
    I have tried 2 different brands and wasnt happy with either of them so went back to the OEM.
    Honda do make a taller screen for the VFR as an accessory, but its probably expensive.
    Be aware also that sometimes pushing the wind higher can increase turbulance and make things worse.

    I have a 2007 VFR800 and the Puig Double Bubble I have is AMAZING. At high speed (85+) there is a little turbulence, but only when my arms are straightish. When I tuck in, there is NO WIND AT ALL. I am no small fellow either being 6'4". I have the stock too and it felt like my head was a sail but when I switched it out, the difference was CRAZY. Highly recommend the double bubble...it has a nice rolled upper lip that definitely deflects wind much better than the stock screen...

    I second the puig double bubble. I went from a SR zero gravity to the puig double bubble. I am 6' 1" and the SR hit me right in the chest.The puig hits me right at my chin. I love my vfr even more now, seems more effortless to ride at any speed. Did not know there would be that big of a change until i went to the DB. Also i have Helibars to give you any more insite.
