Yup, Yamaha DB clear w/FZ6R logo ... works better than stock. Nothing dramatic, but better. Also depends on your height for how much difference you feel. Biggest plus besides the reduced buffeting and redirected air flow, is cosmetically it looks much better on the bike than stock. It just looks like it belongs on the bike more so than the stock piece of flat shield.

Just installed a DB Clear windshield, using the factory $25 coupon. Must say I'm impressed with the results. Less direct airflow at the chest and helmet as compared to stock, and that includes a freeway stretch at 90 mph (less speedo error). You still have air flow to the shoulders which I'm happy about as both of my jackets have vents there. I get less helmet venting from the reduced airflow but no biggie. I'm 5'9".
And you can custom paint it, and it looks great!!

I have the double bubble windscreen and didn't notice a huge difference between it and the stock one and I am only 5'7". I bought the Zero Gravity one and not the Yamaha one trying to save a buck but is there really any difference in the 2?
This thread has some good write ups and comparisons.

I only have the clear Yamaha raised bubble, so I can't comment on Zero Gravity.But Yamaha makes two windscreens, clear and smoked.The clear one is taller than the smoked version.
I'm guessing yours is more like the shorter smoked Yamaha version instead of the clear one that has a noticeable improvement.It was a night and day difference for me.Like comparing a breeze on a beach, to hurricane winds lol but i'm 6'3"..
MRA VarioTouringScreen
I have MRA Touring screen in smoke grey with the adjustable spoiler. Made a huge difference over the stock shield and the adjustable spoiler does come in handy as well.

I tried the three Zero Gravity screens and left the Sport Touring screen on; I like that one the most of the 3 ZG screens.
Significant REDUCTION (not ELIMINATION) of wind buffeting.
The wind that does come over the top and sides perfectly hit my jacket shoulder and arm vents (TourMaster Transition Series 3) and helmet vents (Shoei RF1100).
Haven't tried Yamaha's DB, or as it's called in their parts catalog, "Raised Bubble":

I will have two of the Yamaha bubble shields in a couple days, so I will sell one if anyone in the USA lower 48 states wants it.
