Being new to Kats, I went to look for a new windscreen for mine, the previous owner felt it necessary to literally paint it black with a paintbrush. After looking around I had thought the Zero Gravity double bubble would be a good choice, but when I went to look for ones that fit my 06 I only found a couple dealers out of the UK, anyone know of anywhere that I could get one or an equivelant one?

let me know if you get the double bubble. Im a taller rider so the current screen I have directs all the wind straight to my neck. Not sure of the brand as the PO put it on. I've read that you can install a Kawasaki screen on the kat with very little modifications.New Carbs and new tires makes it hard to take it easy on the throttle....

Can anyone here comment on this?
I'm sure if there was a long intensive study someone could point out that in the controlled variances they do have a fractional effect.
In the real world though... you not going to see/notice any differences in any of that. Rider variances alone of more/less gear, tank bags, tail bags, touring gear, passengers... just doesn't make it so that one thing stands out as "OMG don't do that! "

you would be really surprised.
Ive had to cut dozens of cruiser shields 1-2 inches at a time to correct bad handling and head shake etc etc.
it can greatly affect speeds and aerodynamics and both will affect the bikes handling.
I noticed an improvment just going to a lower wider windscreen on my 98 and have cut many Pre windscreens down and owner agree taller does not mean better.
their is a reason race bikes use tiny windscreens and not tall ones to get wind over the rider.98 GSX750F
