    Is the Double Bubble screen the best one to go for for Touring duties?

    I have the McGuiness screen (think it is) - it works but been described as 'hideous' and worse by those who see it - will find a pic somewhere with it -

    Really should swap it back over - perhaps I'll do that as part of its winter rebuild / makeover that is starting now.

    I find the double bubble screen is good for long distance.

    That McGuiness screen looks great IMHO!:)

    I was expecting sumat like the screen off one of the 'Chips' Police Bikes from the description!:eek:


    Would that fit a 2012 Blade?

    Description says 2008-2010 and nothing is listed any later?

    is that a 2012 Bike as the link I've looked at states the McGuiness screen is for 2008-10 Bikes?

    I think IoM's is an older bike, shipmate. I'd give Skidmarx a call as all the McG screens are made to order. And I agree with you, shipmate. They look mustard!

    Me, I had the Honda racing screen and now have the mcGuinness screen and it's great. I toured Europe with the Honda screen and it was fine but for the money the McGuinness screen is excellent

    And if you think Si's bike is special you should see his hair!

    The man is living a soft-focus, immaculately-coiffed dream.


    I'm dead jealous.

    Looks like a Zero Gravity Sport Touring is the best I can get, the McGuiness one is not made for 2012 Blade.
