I bought a 2008 that the previous owner hit a deer and the insurance company called it a loss so it came with a salvage certificate. I was told by the owner that he didn't go down and it was all cosmetic damage. So when I went to look at it I brought a roll of duct tape, taped it all up so it wouldn't flap like crazy when I took it for a ride to evaluate. No scrapes anywhere so it was pretty obvious that it indeed hadn't been down. Brought it on the highway and at 140 there wasn't any vibration or any other mechanical issues. Here's what it looked like when I brought it home..

Why would a dark screen not let you read the gauge cluster?
Actually the dark lets me read the LED panel better since it fades out in the light
Love the double bubble.

A 2002 ZX9R doesn't have an LED screen it's all analog. The dark screen casts a dark shadow over the entire gauge cluster 90% of the time. Keeps the dash in the dark. While either wearing sun glasses or wearing a helmet with a tinted shield it can be very difficult to see the gauges. I've already stated what I think of double bubble screens in my previous post.

Seen here with the MRA X-creen and custom-made blade fueling up prior to going up Pike's Peak (in the background)


The DB was the best of all the available screens I tried, but even with the MRA spoiler, it still didn't keep me out of the windblast.

That makes it look more like a Conny than a Z. But I can appreciate the wind deflection cruising around triple digit speeds.

I'm more about function than appearance to a point. I'm curious as to how much of a difference it might make. I will be riding from North East PA to the Carolinas more than once in a season. So if it's a noticeable difference without looking really awkward I'd try one...

It was weird yesterday when I took that footage. I went to a outlet shopping mall I haven't been to in awhile only to find out ALL the stores were abandoned. Quite eerie really. I was the only one in the parking lot riding around.
