    I have a Thruxton r with the race kit fitted that i toured on earlier this year and it was an absolute delight. The only problem was that over 90 the wind on my head and neck was too much.
    Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket double bubble trype screen that can be fitted to the bikini fairing?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply.

    I have just had a reply from Skidmarx who reckon they will do one next year.
    Fingers crossed!,

    With screens it depends on your height when riding, a double bubble is fine if you’re underneath it. I’m 6.1” and all double bubble regardless of bike - and I’ve had a few- batter my neck if I’m sitting up.
    Whereas most standard screens hut me in the chest so it depends on how you feel comfy.

    I’d agree with Glyn on this one being 6’2 myself. Never liked them.
    Plus I think a double bubble would ruin the look of a Thruxton R. Form over function for me.
