Screens- feedback please

I'm new to the ZZR - just picked up a 2008 ABS. The last bike was one of the new GTRs which whilst great for motorway work (130mph, 2 up was a breeze) was not what I wanted in a bike. My previous bikes have all been sports bikes. Any way I've got a couple of long trips planned for the year (2 up to the Alps, Mugello MotoGP and the Picos)and from what I've experienced so far I'm thinking high speed (110mph+) buffeting might be an issue.

Can you guys give me any feedback from actual experience of fitting different screens to the ZZR. I know a lot of it depends on the size and shape of the rider but any feedback would be really useful. I've bought screens in the past only to find out I get MORE noise and buffeting than standard.

What we need is somewhere that we can try different screen before we buy.

I am very happy with my Zero Gravity ST shield. Works well and moves the 100mph blast off my chest. It is a bit taller with a steeper rake then the double bubble.
If I ever figure out how to post a picture I will.

I have the sportech in chrome and find it very comfortable to get behind at high speeds 130-140+ the only thing I don't care for about it is it doesn't have the lip around the fairing area that makes it flush with the fairing I think because they chrome it before bending it and don't want to screw up the chrome, it is a minor detail but other than that it is very nice for high speed action.
