Nice shield
Put this shield on an 07 ZX-14. Shield does an excellent job of keeping the wind from cutting through (vents on my jacket are NOT air tight...even when closed). I've also noticed absolutely no buffeting (I'm 6' tall) regardless of riding position. In a tuck, it is eerily quiet. Great shield if you plan to do any cold weather riding. When summer comes around again, I'll probably put the stock shield back on, but this is invaluable when the temperatures drop. I have nothing to say about fit, finish, or durability...which is a good thing. Nothing bad to note on anything!

ZX-14 Sport Touring Windscreen (Zero Gravity)
I recently returned from a 5500 mile tour on my ZX-14 with the Zero Gravity ST Screen. I was very happy with the quality and fit of the screen upon installation. On the road the screen provided more protection than the stock screen, allowing me to keep most debris from hitting my torso. There is still a lot of buffeting and very little protection from bugs/etc. hitting your helmet shield. I could notice very little difference in performance with respect to wind, cross-wind, etc. so overall I think it was a good compromise over stock.

ZG sport touring windscreen on 2006 750 Katana
This windscreen fits and looks great, is very competitively priced, and blocks the wind and elements much better than the stock windscreen. There is some work involved, since you have to remove the fairings, but the improvement in comfort is worth it. It really reduces the amount of wind you get on your upper body. I'm 6'2", and I haven't experienced any helmet buffeting, even though my head is still above the airflow, unless I tuck in.

Zero Gravity Touring Windscreen
I ended up being very pleased with my purchase after having a hard time deciding between the Double Bubble or Touring model windscreen. I am 6'4" tall and around 225# and a lot of me pokes up behind a standard sportbike windscreen. I was concerned that the taller windscreen might make the bike look a bit out of "balance". It turned out to be perfect. I purchased the Touring model in a dark smoke and have been very happy with it on the first 3 or 4 rides. The dark smoke looks great against my 2009 CBR 1000 RR's Pearl White paint. Installation took about 20 or 25 minutes and could be completed by almost anyone. Special thanks to Brandon at Zero Gravity for His help with a photo and to Motorcycle Superstore for incredibly fast shipping. I ordered it, walked outside and it was on my doorstep. Hard to believe, I know. Terry B

Zero difference but love the looks
Ok, so maybe a little but I couldnt resist the phrase considering the brand name. I love the looks of this windshield and 100% better than stock. It does move some air but probably into a passengers head as she complained of neck feeling tense. I didnt mention the new windshield :-) It vibrates a whole lot, but I blame the vibrating Ducati engine for that one cause its only in high gear at low RPM.

Zero Gravity - Sport Touring Windscreen CBR F4i
Excellent fit and finish. The bolt holes lined up to a tee. Much more wind protection over their Double Bubble model. I'm 5'7" and the wind just sails over my helmet. No more sore necks from extending highway riding. I'm kinda guessing about the durability though as I have only done about 500 miles with this screen and the only things that have made contact are bugs.

The screen works, but when looking at the pictures I thought it provided more wind deflection. Install was simple and the product is good quality.

Good stuff
This is a great product that cuts down the wind that hits the rider while in the upright position. The smoke finish is like tinted glass and all objects are visible thru it with little distortion. Looks great and easy to install.

Zero Gravity - Sport Touring Windscreen defective
I had to return it for refund, as the mounting hole pattern was about 1/4" off.

Works great
I am only calling this a semi-review because it was rather windy and the heavy cross wind gusts made it hard to tell. It for sure cuts the wind. At first I was hoping for more of a cut but in places that blocked the cross wind it was more. You still get the straight on wind as your head is above the shield of course but you do not get all the wind from the shield also. So I would say it cut the wind blast by a good 50% when upright. If you lay on the tank it is absolutely zero - almost eerily quiet. All you hear is the engine rev which was nice. It did seem to help with the wind in neck and bug problem which was my main reason for buying. I still got some bugs on the shield but half or less than usual and none buzzing in the helmet. I saw some big butterflies come and follow the shield wind right over my head so a lot of the blast must be making it over my head (6 foot btw). Also it seems to rid the whistle I got in my helmet at times. When I would get home my hearing would be off for a bit but this seemed to help that a lot. It is not as thick as stock as mentioned but I got it up to 90 or so with no problems. I did have a very good ride and felt more comfortable. Now after a few hundred miles I love it. Really helps with the wind in the neck thing for me. I would say it raises where the wind hits but 5-6 inches or so. That might be good or bad depending on each rider.

great quality
Zero gravity has great quality and fit. The extra wind protection is also much appreciated. Of course Motorcycle Super Store is the best!

Wish I got it sooner.
This is a must for anyone who wants to use the GS 500 for more touring than sport. It makes long trips MUCH more comfortable. It took the wind completely off my torso, it hits me in the chin now, great product.

Excellent (and darn good lookin) product!
Nothing makes me happier (well almost) than getting a product that is quality built, fits perfect, and looks good. The ZeroG SportTouring (in light smoke) on my 99' Ducati 900ss is all of the above! The design looks "natural" for the lines of the bike...... it IS functional and has raised the airflow up quite a bit, the mounting holes were PERFECT in location and size for the mounting grommets. The color (lt smoke) goes great with the yellow. EXCELLENT JOB ZERO G!

Does what you expect it to do
The windscreen raised the height at which the wind was hitting me. I'm 6'1" so now instead of hitting me in the chest when I'm sitting up the wind hits my neck and when I lay on the tank I get no wind at all. I'm not sure if it's the windscreen's fault or not but after I installed it the bike sat in the morning sun for a few hours and the tachometer needle melted and the tach bubbled. I'd left the bike in the sun with the stock windscreen and had no such issues. Just a warning.

Works for me
I got it because for me all the air draft hits me directly in the neck. Not only is that cold in the winter but in the summer that means all kinds of bugs hit me right in the neck and then drift up into my helmet and then there are live bugs flying around in there. It for sure cuts the wind. You still get the straight on wind as your head is above the shield of course but you do not get all the wind from the shield also. So I would say it cut the wind blast by a good 50% when upright. If you lay on the tank it is absolutely zero - almost eerily quiet. All you hear is the engine rev which was nice. It did seem to help with the wind in neck and bug problem which was my main reason for buying. I still got some bugs on the shield but half or less than usual and none buzzing in the helmet.

Zero Gravity - Sport Touring Windscreen
It fits great and was easy to install. The windscreen keeps most of the wind down. It could be a little more taller for beating off the wind sheer.

I installed this windshield on my GS500, it works great. Freeway speeds were uncomfortable with the stock windshield. It was worth the money, it reduces wind blast without tucking.

Zero Gravity- Sport Touring Windscreen
This is a fine product that meets or exceeds what it is designed to do. It is not a cure-all for the wind though. It does help. Especially for the shorter rider. I'm about 6'4. There's not much out there that will help me on a sport bike.

Zero Gravity ST windshield
First, the good-- The windshield blocks more wind. It hits me about right under the chin guard now instead of middle chest. This truly makes my 650R Ninja rideble at 50* as long as the sun is up.
Second, the not-so-good--The shield pulls the fairing sides loose from the frame above 35-40 MPH. So far it lays back down after slowing back down, but it has enough bubble in it that it just doesn't seem to want to lay down completely when stopped, and it only pulls away more as you increase speed. (It stays tight to the fairing, but it pulls the whole fairing away from the bike frame.)
One more nitpick, if you order the smoked shield, be forewarned that it is VERY dark. It is probably 3-4 times darker than the pictures show, almost black. Had I know that, I would have ordered a clear. It looks very weird on my silver bike.
