I personally usually go for MRA screens but I have not seen anything from them yet. But now that I know the ZX-25R screen is the same I'll have another look.

:::EDIT:::
MRA does make one for the ZX-25R. Just ordered it. Likely will have this ZG Marc1 for sale once it arrives.
+1 for MRA. Let me know how the 25R screen looks

I personally like the Zero Gravity the best. They have been making windscreens since sportbikes came to the market place. They have developed the process and materials over many years. They understand aerodynamics, the technicians challenges and the riders needs very well. Just my 2 cents.

Which model is that?

Also will you all be carrying suspension upgrades for this bike? I always buy Nitron or Ohlins stuff sprung for my weight.

Yes we will have off the shelf suspension options and full setup Graves modified suspension options.

It will be just like my 20’s when i put $30,000 worth of stereo and performance upgrades in my $20,000 Honda Civic.

Ah, nostalgia

It’s a bit of a custom. I’m sure they will release it soon. Zero Gravity has been involved with every project we have done since Graves opened its doors in 1993. This is the screen we chose for our race bodywork and it also fits the street bodywork.

MRA screen arrived. I could tell before I even opened the package that I would like it much more. I have used them on several bikes in the past and had great experiences there as well.

Some comparison shots:
MRA Screen (Light Smoke) against a white and colored background to show color differences
Bag Automotive design Luggage and bags Sleeve Office equipment


Same but for ZG Marc1 screen:
Automotive tire Motor vehicle Automotive design Fender Armrest


Side by Side:
Bag Automotive design Material property Tints and shades Space


Front Profile, side by side - if not apparent, MRA is on the left, ZG on the right
Wood Paint Automotive tire Art Grass


Side Profile, MRA in front, ZG in the rear. I do like the taller profile of the ZG Marc1 screen.
Brown Wood Bumper Automotive exterior Tints and shades



Height, side by side - tried to line them up by mounting holes. ZG on left, MRA on right
Drinkware Hourglass Material property Font Tints and shades


Thickness of screen, MRA
Fluid Natural material Wood Rim Circle


Thickness of screen, ZG. This was a pain to try and capture properly...
Wood Electric blue Close-up Cable Wire


Visibly looking at them, although maybe not apparent in my 'professional studio photos', you can tell the MRA is thicker. And by feel. Put the mic on them and the MRA is seven-tenths of a mill thicker. This has always been a complaint of mine, that the ZG screens were too thin and flimsy. The ZX-4RR Marc1 carries on that 'tradition'. The MRA screen is much more sturdy be it the composite used, the thickness or a combination of both. If you apply the same amount of pressure the ZG screen flexes with little effort, the MRA you have to put noticeable force into it.

Another thing I like about the MRA screen is that it does have some tinting right above the gauge unit so this will provide some shade for the dash to make it a bit more viewable in sunny conditions. Added bonus. Additionally it has the same kind of dot-matrix pattern that car windshields do which help it heat up evenly and fight off warping from the sun/heat.

Verdict: MRA screen for me.

So, I got a brand new, never mounted ZG Marc1 in light smoke for sale for cheap to any non-business orientated member (sorry don't want you guys buying this cheap and then reselling to another customer of yours at full MSRP. That's not cool, folks.)

Call it $50 plus shipping, if anyone wants it - first DM in my box can have it at that price. (ITEM IS CURRENTLY ON HOLD FOR MISNBLU)

Item has been sold folks, sorry!

The retired machinist in me would like some clarification on the thickness difference.
"Seven-tenths of a mil" is 0.0007"
:unsure:
ETA: is that 7/10 of a millimeter ? So 0.0275" thicker ? That makes much more sense. (y)
