    I had huge problems behind the standard screen on my 954. Anything near motorway speeds not tucked down were really uncomfortable. I asked the same question on several forums, this one included and got as many differing answers as questions I asked. I took a punt at the MRA double bubble, based, mainly, on the excellent advice and feedback I got from Ben Hunter at Bike HPS. Fitting was a piece of piss and the fit is superb. It's profile is unusual as it's quite squared off, but god is it good, puts a food 30 mph on the speed before I need to duck behind it proper.

    Sure mines is a powerbronze in light smoke on black bike . Had it on that long cant remember what it was like with the standard one on ! But I can get tucked in behind it ( 5" 8 ) and sound enough.

    I had a clear Zero Gravity on my 06 (screen for sale now) and the Honda smoked high screen on my 08. Both good.

    Just bought (got given actually) a Zero Gravity DB for my RR7... was about £70, (from calsport.co.uk I think) but well worth it, as it is clearly a quality product (as good as MRA or Fabbri in my opinion).

    Many of the Powerbronze screens come with trim that you need to fit over the exposed edge of the screen... this is because they cant be bothered to finish the edge of the plastic properly, so supply a cheap length of finishing edging... which ends up looking naff (in my opinion, of course!).

    Zero Gravity / MRA / Fabbri all finish their screen properly, so there is no need for attaching an edging strip.

    £30 via PayPal, posted (UK only) for my clear Zero Gravity DB screen (fits 04-07 models).

    Zero Gravity ones are great. Have got an MRA one on mine and it is just right and IMO it doesn't look out of place.

    MRA still supply a piped strip of edging as well, so it's down to choice. In my opinion edging looks fine on a black shield but naff on a clear...

    Call Padgetts if you want a real bubble screen (See TT sized screen...).

    Actually, that doesn't look too bad. A lot better than the one on Hutchie's R1.

    Had MRA on my RR4 absolutely the finest quality, fit and finish better than Honda. Four years use not a mark on it and good resale when I changed bikes.

    Not quite true IMO. The Honda high screen is the best quality and fit, although I wish it was higher. (not available for your RR4 anyway mind you).
