R1200s double bubble screen query

overipe&keen · Post by **overipe&keen** » Tue Nov 06, 2007 1:26 pm

Has anybody fitted an aftermarket double bubble screen for their 1200s? I'm curious to know whether they do improve air flow at all or just redirect the blast onto their helmet more.

Hi Eon

I've got one on order but its not arrived yet. I'll let you know as soon as it does and I've tested it.

Where have you seen one?

I see Wunderlich are advertising one in their brochure. Looks nice and tall but only available in grey

Wunderlich

Puig (I ordered this one ; same colour)

(and this one is available in various colours, also yellow, red, carbon look, etc.etc.)

Puig = www.motoplastic.com

Thats what I have ordered too - same colour as well. the Wunderlich one looks more effective though - don't you think?

...don't know...

...the Puig one looks wider...
...it looks like the Wunderlich one only keeps the helmet out off the wind...
...the Puig one also a bit of the shoulders...

I would agree the Wunderlich item looks more like the shape you would expect - but the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

One major question though. A pic I have seen of the Wunderlich item shows that it does not mount in the original part way and so should come with some heath-robinson adaptors no doubt.

Does the Puig item slot straight in or does it too have some adaptors to fit the BMW slots?

I got bored of waiting and ordered the sandbar one with the carbon fibre nose piece instead - looks the beeknees.

Proper double bubble too - the Puig one doesn't look much taller than the standard one really.

I also really like the fact that it has carbon fibre over the top of the light - should make it stronger, abd because the screen is screwed in it should be less prone to rattling.

It arrives later this week so will know more then.

Ron,

Do you think your screen will arrive on the 5th of December (Spain Sinterklaas)

In the meanwhile, while waiting on the Puig delivery, I also ordered the Wunderlich. Received an e-mail that it will be delivered wk50.

Now just wait and see if the Jerry's are more reliable then the Spanisch.
