If you have an ST model year 2004 or later with aftermarket windscreens, I'd love to see some pictures. Overall side views or views from the front left or right (more than just a cropped, straight-on front shot) would be great. I've found a few machines with the ST screen, but I'd love to see some of the others as well. Especially if you have a silver ST3 and a light smoke Zero Gravity SR series (stock replacement) screen.

Thanks!

I just put a smoked ZG sport touring shield on my silver '05 ST. I am at work, so I'll get some pics up in a few days for you. I have only ridden the bike a little since the install, but it quieted the cockpit down a lot. It may have taken too much pressure off of my chest area though. It seems as if there is more pressure on my arms at speed than there used to be. I guess that would be expected though!

Any one have a photo of the double bubble shield. Also by the way, the for the ST shield, was the turbulence increased? decreased, how tall are you.

may have missed the details here, Thanks.

Here's mine w/ZG Dubble Bubble

I bought it more for the looks but I'm real happy with the way it works. Seems to smooth out the airflow for me. Gregg
P.S. It's dark smoke

Lowered ST windshield.

Sperho, attached are a few pics of my modified Zero Gravity ST windshield.
It's lower than the stock screen, very smooth air flow, less buffiting.......

You won't believe this, but I was going to get some pics of my ZG screen last night in the shop. I DROPPED the bike against the tool box and broke the screen!!! Un f&%#ing believable??? I had the sidestand down while pushing it up the ramp of my hoist. It was not a good night, but then Mandissa got voted off of American Idol and it worked out OK.

Thank god I had the stock screen, as we have a nice long two day ride planned this weekend.

Man..........sometimes you gotta wonder.

I read an article once about the 101 ways to drop your bike, and it was hilarious. Glad to see you took it in good humour in the end. I've dropped 3 different bikes including my ST3 when at a stand still. Small break in concentration, wrong handling/braking technique, and gravity has it's unforgiving way with you. Way too easy to do.

Hmm, those ZG ST screens look very interesting. I may need to revisit my position on how very happy I am with the stocker, if not just for the looks of them.

ZG ST Shield

Today was the first day with my new ZG st windshield. Looks good (smoke) but my head felt like a tennis ball in a grand slam tourny. The buffeting was killin me. Head goes left then right then left again. I had a passenger on back so hopefully that was the problem (just an excuse). When my tennis ball head was still the shield worked great. Gotta have to test it out again without a passenger (still an excuse). Any one else with the same prob let me know. Thanks....

A bad picture, but I received my SR screen today (Zero Gravity). I went for a ride and I'd have to say it's no worse airflow wise (slightly better??) than the stock screen. I like it... I'll put up more pictures when I get a roundtuit.

GordyNM,

Did you ever replace your ZG? If so, can I swing by and take a look at it?

I'm located in Alb, NM.

Here's mine, just to add to the fray.

Hope you got a replacement Gordy.
