Whats best Fabri or powerbronze

I had a Fabri one on my Storm a few years ago, now I have a powerbronze one fitted. The Fabri one was better for me, gave excellent wind protection and seemed to fit slightly better. By the way I'm only 5ft 10inch tall so taller riders might not get as good protection

Andy are saying the Powerbronze are better for taller riders

I am 6' and built like a bean pole.

Have the same as Mike 'Airblade' and i'm 6.2'
Have to put my head down a little but does the job.

I had a PB one and I wasn't impressed with the fit or the thickness of it, it just seemed a little flimsy.

I'm 6' 2" and found a DB actually raised the pressure on my wrists due to better body shielding of the wind draft. Went back to the std 'screen and at decent cruising speeds etc found the wind pressure supported my upper body a lot better!!!!!

F.Fabbri for quality every time. My new storm came with one fitted, black smoke, excellent quality. My Bro had a cool opaque grey one on his R6.

I've got a red double bubble screen in the garage....not sure what make it is, took it off my first storm when I swapped it for the X11. If you want it, let me know!

Only being a short butt I've never found out if either screens would be any good for taller riders. I'm sure the rest of the gang will let you know.

Thanks for the offer Mike (really good of you) if I had a slow red storm I would snatch you're arm off for it but I have a really fast Black one and I think I will go for the Fabbri. Thanks for all the advice guys.

One thing to be careful of with DB screens is where the crease is as it 'bubbles' up, it can sometimes concentrate the sunlight and cause a burn / melt to the speedo surround!
I've seen this happen on an 02 R6 and an 05 blade! Worrying huh!

Now that's very interesting and would explain why mine had what I woulda described as a cigarette burn at about the 1 o/clock position and also my mates SP2 had the same thing!!!

Yup, looks like someone rested a fag on top and let it burn down. Similar to the common syndrome suffered by bog roll holders throughout our fine land!

I'd have it - and give it a gentle shot blast and a matt black paint job! Reckon it would look well ard

You would probably get Â£25 for it on fleabay though. Any one know about the Â£35 screens they advertise on fleabay - they any good?

I had airblade iridium one from e-bay 4 years ago

Was fine till I parked Storm upside down!
