yeah..but i wear my saftey googles from work all the time under my helmet face shields are more resistaint to shattering...these ZG are advertised as not being shatterproof so ...I can vouch there not

I wish it'd hit my helmet

I think ZG is only a 2mm acrylic so they will break. they save a little bit of money on materials and you get a broken in half windscreen.

Well I'm 6' 4' I think I'm gonna try one of those gay looking tall one's next., a Euro style...this bikes hurts me at high..well 70+ speeds

the zg made a difference from stock but did'nt do much for me on the interstate

acrylic ? UGH! I'd never buy something like that, polycarbonate is the only way for resisting impact.

I have enjoyed mine ever since I instaled it. It does a great job of moving the air high and above my helmet.

Too bad there aren't any other good looking screens for pregens. (If there are, someone PLEASE post a link.) :D

Honestly, I think it would make the bike look a lot more modern if the outer bubble were fairing-colored.

Got mine there as well. I guess when it gets super cold we need to put our Ninjas and Corvettes up for the winter.

That sucks :( Looks like there's another reason not to ride in the cold :P

Or I can put on the stock one for the winter...

I'm still in denial and refuse to park the bike besides we've been having 50F+ temps here lately. Very unusual for this part of Canada especially for November. Was 57F yesterday :D

Im still in denial as well and I think my tolerance to the cold is getting better :p

I need at least a heated vest or something to ride in those temps nate...45 is the coldest I've done with my gear so far. I could ride, but it was cold!

Unless your ride is sans fairing. No windscreen to crack means I don't have to replace it.:cool:

You can always paint it to match.

Did you get a dyno test after the windshield went 'splode? I bet you picked up a good .1-.2 HP from the reduced drag coefficient.

Have you tried contacting ZG? Bet they would replace it for you.
