Bubble Screens - any good?

After my first epic ride across the peak district, one thing i did notice is the buffeting you get riding along.

A friend recommended getting a bubble screen (60 quid). Any ideas? any good? how do they work? simple to fit?

I'm going to start commuting to work on it (occasionally) and that involves a stretch of motorway and dual carridgeway. Are they any good on motorways?

Comments and opinions welcome

Honda CBR 600RR and proud!!

some here for £30 free P & P
Screens from hotbikebits
Don't know if they are any good or not. I have a screen on mine but as soon as I don't need somewhere to stick my L plate, it will be coming off


Some time's my mind doesn't only wander, it leaves completely ...........

Re: Bubble Screens - any good?

double bubbles make a big difference,they deflect the wind,so that it helps take your weight off your wrists..at least mine does

I have a powerbronze on my Bird, one of the best pieces of kit I have bought to be honest. Makes a big difference on longer trips

On our BMW K75S I added six inches of perspex to the top of the screen attached with five plastic number plate nuts and bolts.
It really surprised me the difference it made in very windy and or wet conditions, at 60mph plus speeds.
