[Ducati] Best Screen for 916/996/998(748)

[Rich Roberts]

Oh come one you are kidding right? So forget Yoyodyne, STM, Ohlins, Omega, Pistal, Marvic, Marchesini, BST, etc etc etc etc etc....surely there is something non OEM you will use. I have never used an OEM windscreen short of the stock ones I almost always take off. Speedscreens, Gustafson, Zero Gravity, Cee Bailey,LP, etc etc etc, have no real complaints in using any of em. A polarized windscreen??? Really? So you can see the fish through the reflected sunlight on the water? Come on. Do you really look through that windscreen on your Superbike???? LP, all the original carbon fiber bits they sold for early 916/998 came from a small company in Hickory NC named Fast Company. I bought stuff from them years before LP realized who they were. Alot of goods in LP catalog can be sourced directly from the manufacturers or their other reps as well so it is not in many cases a product LP manufacturers but simply something they distribute. Still we should just buy from them?  Dont get me
 wrong I have often turne to them for an idea of something I was looking for and have bought from them, but not exclusively by any means. Lots and lots of good options out there.

and std size replacement for the 916/996/998 in clear and polarized. Nothing
but OEM parts on any of my Ducs....that's just me. It looks original and as
pretended.

If you must, I recommend Lockhart Phillips products. Good people, good
service, good suppliers and they know sport bikes and our needs.

My .2 cents good luck

Mason, I have a dark Zero Gravity on my 99' SS. I replaced the factory 
one because of slight scratches. This works well, looks great and was 
not priced out of sight. I would have tried the Double Bubble model but 
the do not make one for the SS.
