New \'Busa Owner on the block

[OB_vortech347]

Congrats and welcome to the club. I have been thoroughly impressed with my bike. I am lucky enough to have bought my bike from the dealer where Johnnycheese works. As far as the windscreens go I have read some good things about the Zero Gravity double bubble. I am planning on getting one because at 6'3" I have to look through the windscreen to see the guages.

Welcome Joker,
Your gonna love that bike. Lots of good info here. Watch out for the BS though it's here too.

Just got my Y2K 'busa (blue & silver) anyone remeber the commercial where the guy is eating doritos and has a sh** eating grin terminally plastered on his face. Well I have that problem, does anyone else?

Also, any good ideas on a replacement windscreen (prefer blue or smike).

I've been scoping the Hayabusa boards for a few months and was really sold on getting one. So I just want to say "Thanks" to the "Busa Brothers".

Vortech347,

When you do get the ZG-DB please let me know how it is for you, especially regarding possible turbulence around head/helmet as I'm still waiting for a report for someone my height or at least close to it (I'm 6'4").

Animal, I ordered a ZG Sport Touring in flourescent blue today but it will be a week before it ships. They have to make it. I will post back when it comes.

Hey Animal, I am 6'3" and I have a double bubble on my busa. I do not experience the head buffeting and chest blast that the stock screen caused. I can see the gauges with the double bubble and I could not see them with the stocker without ducking my head at an angle to clear the top. I can get behing the double bubble and it is like the eye of a Hurricane. Dead calm. No noise, no wind. Just the growl of the power plant. I do get some wind on the sides of my arms but I am a wide guy. 100% better than the stocker.

I have the Zero G Double Bubble (in smoke) and it's much improved over the stock windscreen as far as being able to see the gauges, channeling the air flow over me, and I think it looks much better.I am 5' 10" so I can't speak for the taller guys, but I have a lot easier time ducking under the airflow than with the OEM screen and yet it is only about 3/4 inch different in height (and a little wider)than the stock one. It's probably the biggest difference you can make for about 75 BUCKS- in appearance and in improved rideability (if that's a word!)

Yeah.. The smile you get from a Busa ride is much like the one you get after good SEX!

I never seem to get quite enough of either.
