Anyone have a pic of a "black" puig? I just want to see what they look like on our bikes? Does it match the 08' black paint?

Here is a comparison of them taken from roughly the same angles to show the difference between the 2 better. the first 2 are ZG last 3 are the new puig i installed (and like more than the ZG just because its a lower bubble and doesnt come up as high at the top)

GREAT PICS, Wade. That's a big decider for me. Thanks so much, mate. I'm 6'2", so I'm going with the ZG for the extra protection. If I was 5'8" or less, I'd go with the Puig for looks.

No Probs. I originally had the ZG but after installing it i didnt like the look from how high it was. And i just happened to order a package from fatbikez and it came with the puig so i wacked that on to see which one i liked better and sure enough i liked the puig better looks wise (ito doesnt really bother me having less protection because i didnt notice a difference in the first place)

I bought a Zero-Gravity Double Bubble in Light Smoke.
Got it off Ebay from TheZGOutlet.com I bought a Factory 2nd (New) for $44.95! + S&H $11.95 ($56 TMD) It didnt come with zero-gravity decal/stickers, so i emailed ZGOutlet.com if they could mail me some. They Did! they told me they only ship decals with factory 2nds If customer asks too, along with the order! (FYI) My windscreen had afew slight ugly bubbles in the plastic itself, around the 2 Upper Holes where you re-use the old rubber WELLNUTs (5mm). Also there was afew very very Slight Scuff marks, but EASILY buffed out with some "PLEXUS" and a cloth rag!!! So IMO, i would recommend you get a factory 2nd, and SAVE like 50% of your Money toward other stuff! Once my windscreen was on you cant tell! Im thinking of picking up a Light Smoke Zero-Gravity 'sport touring' (big huge high one) in Factory 2nd, for later on this Fall/ Early Winter... just to have one to compare the DB vs ST wind/noise reduction, airflow (less air= Warmer riding in the cold). Also a quick switch out for the Colder season in Michigan would be nice to do for Oct-Nov & again in Mid-April/Early-May each year making Warmer Riding during these Cold/Cool months! IMO the sport touring one looks kinda weird and oversized... but i care More about Function then Looks! PUIGs are cool looking as well, reports from websites, mags, claiming PUIGs are alil Thicker and better made in the sense of CRACKING from a BIRD or sumin flying right into the windscreen itself! But what are the Odds of that happening? Note: Im 5' 9" 168 LBS. My ZG-DB raised the airflow to hit me in the CHIN/UPPER LIP (helmet say) , from being hit in the Nipple/Cowlerbone area! - W/ Stock OEM windscreen on! (depending if i was TRUELY Upright position, or very slightly leaning forward atad, you have like 2" of play.) If you 2UP, your Ninjas aerodynamics change alot. Changing the way the airflow hits you... affectwise! I noticed a Head Bobbling motion with my GF on back, while riding on I-94 @ 65-70MPH. The air was like pushing my Head left to right... it was weird! I had to bend forward slightly more then normal SOLO Riding to correct this! ummm NO air wasnt getting 'under' my Helmet and 'Lifting' my helmet up or such... it just did that weird Lt - Rt motion on my Head! Once i got into FULL TUCK, with my Chest on or 'nearly' touching the Gas Tank... Noise was reduced ALOT!!! My Helmet was outta the Wind, making left/right head turns, checking other lane/blind spots much Easier. Without gettin that BURST of wind as you turn your head sideways, that you might get normally with the OEM windscreen, OR if your totally Upright (with ZG-DB on). This helps with LESS BUGS splatting on your Shoulders/Helmet during Dusk/Dawn riding to work and so forth! So heres the current PICs of it On my Nate atm! I can take better/closer ones later on this week when i work on my Bike on varies maintance! |

Nice writeup, Dave.
I found the effect of my ZG DB much as you describe. Doing the full MotoGP wannabe tuck puts me in a very peaceful spot, and puts my eyes just above the lip of the screen. When riding upright, I actually notice the wind a bit more than with the stock screen simply because it hits me higher up. But overall the drag must be lower because less of my torso is in the breeze. With so little power on tap, wind resistance is a bigger deal for us than for larger bikes, especially at high speeds. Whenever I accelerate to pass on the highway I tuck to get rid of the air-brake effect. What the heck are those little black pointy things on your fairing? Can't say I'm a fan of the look... just wondering. |

Based on photos, the puig looks similar to the zg in terms of tint darkness. I've got a zg dark smoke and it's effectively opaque.

Have you considered the MRA screen? I think you can get it in the US. MRA make the Kawasaki 'OEM' double bubble for the Ninjette in the UK. I have one and its seems to be well made and good quality, and looks good too. http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showthread.php?t=27382
