I put a DB on my Fazer and didn't like it! With original screen at least it was clean air hitting my face. With DB I was getting the turbulent air off the screen hitting me instead. Result was a case of the 'wobbly heads' - bit like David Gray. :lol:

Double bubble

Post by Orange Robbie »

Hey, DD, nice photo of someone taking a photo!
TinTin69, is that the same colour scheme as mine? I think Max has a similar scheme as well. If there's that many, maybe we should set up our own VTR sub-group.
Getting back to the question, I have a Fabarii, or I think thats how U spell it. I thought the original screen was good and added the DB coz I thought it looked better, but to me it don't seem to make alot of difference to the wind buffeting, 5 foot 11 with short arms. :lol:
Slow in, slow out. Ohh err missus, now with added G-Force carbon fibre race cans. Sounds like a Spitfire.

Just purchased a double bubble, airblade Iridium jobbie (from busters £55). Should put it on this weekend sometime. Also purchased a clear LED rear light so I gotta get some clear indicaters now.

What are you going to call the orange subgroup then.........

I'll try and get some done. I got a lot to do this weekend fit ape tensioners, fit screen, fit headlight cover, repair imobiliser and fit rear light not to mention clean it.

What do your clear indicaters look like ???

No its not its clear, I had trouble with the plod b4 so I bottled it. they did have an iridium one as well which would have gone well with the new screen.

I imported them from Oz same as the screen, the indercaters brand is MCS they simply replace the lenses and bulbs on the stock Honda stems (01 on only)
Here is a picky of Philm's bike as my photos that I took this w/e did not turn out so good (sun was too bright red paint reflected in to clear indercator) the screen also is the same as mine.

ps: Phil hope you dont mind me useing your photo.

Hay, if these indercators are what you are after and you cant find some after markets that suits then why not try for some second hand ones as the CBR and VTR indercators from 01 on are the same (well here they are) cant see why they wouldent fit, the fairings on your bike are the same as mine just a thought.

Glad to hear you didnt have to stuff around with your indicators when fitting them,maybe the maker has woken up and made the right ones for the vtr??They do look a lot better than the ome ones,dont you think?

Have just fitted The DB screen and 60 miles later I would say that it definately improves the air under the chin thing. The airblade doesnt fit as well as the powerbronze one that was on b4. The only down side I have noticed is that the bike seems lighter on the front end at speed (>125) but I can live with that. I have fitted the LED rear light, I tried to upload a picky of it but summit went wrong.
