Cochese · December 30th, 2008, 04:25 PM

I need me one of those!

CRXTrek · December 30th, 2008, 05:02 PM

I really like mine... same only light smoke

GreezMunky · December 30th, 2008, 05:14 PM

I have one on mine too, love it. Only thing I don't like is how quickly it gets dirty looking from all the dust/dirt and bugs.

PSO-08ninja250rblack · December 30th, 2008, 05:24 PM

yep

you gotta keep it clean, and the dirt shows quickly on the black surface... but its a cool looking screen

kkim · December 30th, 2008, 07:28 PM

hmmm... that is nice. Is that the dark smoked one?

Anyone have any recommendations on where to buy one from?

grandmaster · December 30th, 2008, 07:32 PM

Do you have to have your seat off to do that mod?

I got mine here
http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...50R-Parts.aspx
Shipped fast

NICUNinja · December 31st, 2008, 01:07 AM

Looks great, I had one purchased at the end of November awaiting my bike. Found out after that the dealer didn't even have them on hand.

Now can't seem to find the dark smoke, every one says they are on back order. Going to a bike show this weekend, will have to check it out there.

PSO-08ninja250rblack · December 31st, 2008, 02:24 AM

well i got mine from german ebay, but i know they have them at ebay.co.uk aswell... "Do you have to have your seat off to do that mod? " hehe dont think so

but i have my bike at a workshop next to my home, there are quite a few bikes there, so because of danger of fire you have to dry out the tank and unhook the batt

Trista,
I don't know about shipping to Canada, but Motorcycle superstore has a great deal on them now, and dark smoke is available
it is available here as well:

NICUNinja · December 31st, 2008, 08:50 PM

Thanks for the sites, I'lll look them up when I get home.

BlacktOut2fiddy · January 2nd, 2009, 12:54 AM

I highly suggest the ZG Double Bubble over the Puig.I have the Puig on my VFR and the quality isnt even close the the Zero Gravity Db on my ninja.The puig is a bit thicker but fit and finish is better on the ZG.I think there's a $5-10 difference between the two so it's really up to you.

If you check out ebay and search for Ninja 250 parts there's almost always a DB up for auction for ZG outlet thats where i got mine for $47.00.

PSO-08ninja250rblack · January 2nd, 2009, 03:32 AM

Hey dont really know anything about the ZG screen i just assumed that it was same/same i like the puig but then again havent seen the ZG...

BlacktOut2fiddy · January 2nd, 2009, 08:02 AM

There's not much diffrence really execept for thickness but if you get a black or dark tint you cant see through it anyways.I know the puig i got for the VFR didnt want to go on holes wouldnt line up or anything.

CRXTrek · January 2nd, 2009, 10:51 AM

My Puig fit just like the Stock one
No problems

ken_here · January 2nd, 2009, 01:49 PM

where does the wind now hit you using the double bubble,? Chin level..visor level? thanks

PSO-08ninja250rblack · January 3rd, 2009, 04:53 AM

hey havent run the bike since i did the install, so cant tell you about the wind difference yet, but im sure someone else can

yeah my ouig screen fitted pretty nicely as well.

Viper-Byte · January 3rd, 2009, 11:28 PM

I have got one of these, though it is a genuine Kawasaki one in dark smoke, it looks great and the effects are noticable. I just cannot ride with the stock shield on now.

I am not sure of my height, but I do know that I fit fine on the bike, and at times it feels a little small. Anyway, I only have to hunker down a LITTLE and all the wind goes over my head

Ninja007 · January 27th, 2009, 12:16 AM

How is the install for these db's? Do you have to take the entire front end off or what? I'm seriously thinking about getting the Zero Gravity light smoke db so any input would be great, thanks!

CRXTrek · January 27th, 2009, 12:20 AM

No ,It's easy 4 allen screws

Viper-Byte · January 27th, 2009, 12:23 AM

LOL, it is literally the easiest mod to the bike, as CRXTrek said, it is only the 4 screws on the front.

HKr1 · January 27th, 2009, 06:08 AM

Be carefull on the front two allens, theres just a gromet with some threads down in there. Have heard some people pushing them out, then having to search for them.... not to mention a pain putting them back into place.

Front two allens are longer than the rear two also. < If you have a helper handing them to you

Ninja007 · January 27th, 2009, 08:22 AM

thanks guys! well, looks like I'll be ordering my db soon!

zartan · February 4th, 2009, 01:14 AM

thanks guys!! TR was just wondering outloud tonight if you have to remove the front faring to get to nuts or anything from behind. Always thankful for timely info

travis5018 · February 5th, 2009, 04:53 PM

the weirdest thing happened, when I went to install mine It didn't really want to fit....I had to push the top right of the fairing into the hole and screw it down, it was kinda a pain and getting the read grommets into the new screen sucked also, but now the wind just basically flies over

HKr1 · February 6th, 2009, 06:36 AM

^ Make sure the screen went between the fairing and black plastic of dash part.

travis5018 · February 6th, 2009, 03:36 PM

^thanks I got that put i lost one of the gromets because one of the lower screws isn't screwing in, so im going to take it off and try to find it and redo it this weekend

HKr1 · February 6th, 2009, 04:17 PM

^ make sure you got the right screws also.... The fronts are longer than the rear ones.

Unless you looked down there with a flash light and seen it missing(gromet)

travis5018 · February 6th, 2009, 11:03 PM

^(lolz) Ill check it out thanks

Sound Wave · February 7th, 2009, 11:55 AM

here is a pic i took of my bike this morning with the zg double bubble light smoke. for me, i think the light smoke is a perfect compromise between looks and function.

kkim · February 7th, 2009, 12:13 PM

Thanks. I like the light smoke, too.

Hawaii Kai parking lot?

Sound Wave · February 7th, 2009, 12:16 PM

yup. the boat harbor. i was on my way to sandy beach. woke up early and decided to go for a ride.

noche_caliente · February 7th, 2009, 07:09 PM

how did it do with the wind? any noticeable change?

noche_caliente · February 7th, 2009, 08:22 PM

nice! exactly what I'm looking for! how tall are you? since I'm only 5'3 with a 30" inseam, I should be well out of the windstream now!

Sound Wave · February 7th, 2009, 08:33 PM

i am 5'9".

here is where i got mine from in case you want the zero gravity. the one i have is 281- double bubble light smoke (16-281-02) http://www.zgoutlet.com/ goes for $70 plus shipping.
