Hey I figured someone would want to know if it was worth the money and I threw in the steps to do it not like it was complicated s***. Someone who is not used to tinkering with things might want to know how easy it is to do, so yes silly thread in a way but still informative to some so thanks vex that's exactly what I was thinking.

Anyways @jflexe99 its not an extremely large difference but it helps deflect more wind over you. So fully up I don't feel to much wind hitting my jacket and more of the wind goes to the helmet, I also used to have bugs that would be on my jacket after every ride now I seldom have any. It also helps with wind turbulence at high speeds so I can relax my head more even when fully upright

And sorry I didn't say "wellnuts" I don't take the time to look up every friggin type of bolt I see I just get to work

a 'double bubble' windscreen is definitely worth the money. sometimes they're essential. not only do they provide better wind protection, but they look badass. and on

the wellnuts thing wasn't a slight on you, btw.

That's cool, never had to mess with them before even after working on cars part time for almost 3 years but I will remember they are wellnuts

The DB does look good and doesn't screw up the styling of the bike while giving some good benefits

Not everything can be hot-glued together, you know

And well nuts are for amatures. My new favorite thing is knurled rivet nuts. Those things are so darn handy!

Bubble Ninja is a browser based game developed by a Chinese gaming company LineKong. It is not worth playing, indeed.

Being an industrial mechanic/welder by trade, Im quite mechanically inclined, but when i changed my windscreen I googled on how to do it, Yes I knew it was only 4 bolts holding it, but i wanted to know what was behind the 2 bottom ones so i didnt have to take EVERYTHING off.

So not a waste of a DIY in my opinion.
