double bubble.. works a treat on mine.. So much so, i'm not even going to bother putting the standard one on to find out the difference..lol..

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

skidmarx is the company that still produce them for the falco - i also use a double bubble
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

So do I - I prefer the lines of the standard screen but the doubly bubbly is so much more practical when it comes to mounting PNDs etc.
Oh yes - and Puig also do a DB for the falco.

Interesting. I had no luck trying to improve my Tiumph's screen and reverted to standard after trying a Powerbronze Airflow and a Givi. Consequently, I have been reluctant to spend cash on a DB for the Falco, especially as my satnav fits snugly under the standard screen. However, last weekend, I did feel the need to reduce buffeting which got me wondering about a DB again. I can't say I like the look of the DB on the Falco, but for touring, it would be good if it improved airflow. Rider height, and torso length affect the windflow significantly and therefore the effect an individual experiences from a screen change. So, to develop ste's query, could you please post your height and inside leg measurement when commenting on a screen? I'm 5'9" with a 32" leg; anyone else that size who found a DB beneficial?
