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.

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. |

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

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.

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.

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 |

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!

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

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 |

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

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.
