I don't race. I just like to cruise around and listen to the stories of others who are more inclined to run around the track. The closest I ever come to precision riding is when I hug the tank and roll the throttle to get through that yellow light as fast as possible. You know what I mean, I'm sure you've done it too.
Laying your body flat to cut air resistance is instinctual, and it can mean a lot when you're riding at consistently high speeds. Zero Gravity, whose name reflects the kind of freedom from natural bounds that they attempt through their products, offers a perfect windscreen for this kind of riding.
Very small pieces of plastic that make huge differences in resistance, Zero Gravity's screens are made of high-grade acrylic that is stretched as it is formed. This method of manufacture gives the windscreens flexibility as well as strength, and that flexibility allows them to resist stress and vibration cracking.
The optical quality of a windscreen is important. Even though these are often short screens, when you tuck down you'll still need to see clearly without having to lift your head over the fairing. Zero Gravity claims the best optics of any windscreen, offering optics that are virtually distortion free.
Your Zero Gravity screen should fit like an OEM part, because they are factory pre-drilled to match the specifications of your bike. If you're looking for a screen that will cut down on the road glare, the dark smoke tint still provides the same superior optical quality.
Here's another small racing windscreen by Puig that comes in both dark and clear tint.
