I had a Zero Gravity Double Bubble Shorty windscreen on my 2008 FZ-1 and I loved it. So I reached out to them asking if they had one for the FZ-10. Glen from their team responded saying they are prototyping one for it and are looking for an FZ-10 owner who can work with them for fitment. They are located in Camarillo, Ventura County (approx. 30 miles NW of LA). I am in Seattle and obviously can't make it. Hence sharing this info, so that anyone here that lives in that area might be able to take this up. Send a email to (glenn@zerogravity-racing.com). BTW, I also invited them to join the forum as a vendor.

Sure hope someone is able to get in touch with them. Loved my zero gravity windscreen on my last bike.

Glenn will be sending me the prototype for road testing. Once they get it back from the race team they will send it me. I ride at least two and a half hours a day so the road test part should not take long.

I have a pic of what it looks like. I'll post it tomorrow....it on my work computer. It has a double bubble race look instead of the flat touring look.

Thanks for posting, looks decent. How does it perform? Does it do a good job deflecting wind at high speeds? |

If my bike could travel at the speed of light, would my headlights work?

I've had good success with a ZG double bubble on my R1's. I like the looks but would also like to know how it works in comparison with the stock. I went with the EVO sport but their wasn't much out there over a year ago when I got my bike.

Im still waiting on ZG to get it to me for road testing. The pic is what Glen emailed me. I will follow up with him tomorrow to find out when I should be getting it. He said the race team has it for track testing and they were send g it back to have someone road test it.

I am currently running the Puig touring windscreen and clip on visor, but it still leaves much to be desired IMHO. I don’t think it looks amazing either but that’s just me.  |

Purchased the Yamaha accessory windscreen. Installed it in the dealer parking lot. Removed it when I got home. Directs air precisely to the eyeballs.

I bet that DB screen creates a ton of turbulence; it's too vertical to work properly. Could be wrong, but the fact we never heard back from that test, I doubt it  . As a side note, I haven't seen a single aftermarket screen that looks good on our bike, but as a function over form guy, as long as it works as intended, so be it. He he. I'll never install anything on this bike. It's not a touring bike. And if you remove the rear fender (like the majority of us did already), any pretense of being one is out the door. Ha ha. Having said that, this is the perfect naked bike IMO. It affords 80+ cruising without any issues with the stock mini screen. And at least in my case, the only reason I bought my FZ is because I didn't want a freaking screen anymore .I wouldn't have bought it if I had touring in mind, but guess you can always try to make it something it's not . Have a good one. |

Purchased the Yamaha accessory windscreen. Installed it in the dealer parking lot. Removed it when I got home. Directs air precisely to the eyeballs. To each his own I guess. I had the dealer install the Yamaha windscreen along with the Yamaha side cases at the time I purchased the bike. I think both make the machine look better as well as add function. For me the windscreen works just fine. All I wanted it for was to keep the windstream off of my chest and it does that just great. My previous bike was a 2015 FJ-09 which provided about the same protection so I was used to it. In any case I am very happy with the Yamaha solution. |
