Sorry, but I’ve gotta disagree with yoose about the Puig Racing screen. And with anyone who hypes the Puig Touring, Ermax, and the Yamaha Tall. I’ve found them all disappointing. I tried unsuccessfully, to make the bike something that it’s not – a sport/touring ride. Those who like the above mentioned windscreens have a higher tolerance for blasting wind in the face then I do (I have approx 28,000 miles on my 6 – riding all seasons). I do agree that the Puig’s look good. The set-up that I’ve kept is the YamaTall with the Laminar Lip attached. Looks like shit (although it’s kinda grown on me) but out performs the other choices. This is why Yama redsigned the fairing/windscreen for ’07. I've read that the both the short & tall Calsi work great.

^^^ Keep in mind that people that are a different height than you may find other windscreens suitable for their height. I know after riding my brothers harley with a HUGE windscreen, I realized how bad it is to have the wind go over you, instead of hitting you square in the face. It almost pulled my glasses forward off my face!

I can sit normally right up past 200 km/h (on a closed course obviously!) without the wind being a problem. Got 18,000 km on my FZ6 now...

+1, I have the Givi windscreen in my 05, which for me gives excelent wind protection, even better than the Puig DB screen. Now, it is a little noisier but I wear earplugs must of the time.

6"1" here and the Puig Double Bubble is perfect. Wind hits me just below the helmet and at the top of the shoulders. Much better than the stocker. You don't want one that puts the wind 1/2 way up your helmet.
