Re: Laminar Lip
At first blush these things are hideous looking, but a clear one in combination with a clear windscreen might not look too weird and could be worthy of consideration - if it works as advertised.

Re: Laminar Lip
Isn't that the whole point of a DB?

Re: Laminar Lip
My uneducated guess is, the Laminar Lip will create a far larger still air pocket than a simple DB.

Re: Laminar Lip
The Laminar Lip is far more effective at creating a larger air pocket than the DB screens available, it's just not as stylish. I have experience with them on a couple of different bikes, and they work very well.

Whether you get one or not depends on what your priority is: form, or function. A Laminar lip combined with a windscreen the same color (i.e., tinted or clear) would not be so much of a poser faux pas.

Re: Laminar Lip
Hey Chain, if you had a smoke screen to match the lip, that wouldn't look bad at all. The mix-and-match setup in the picture looks pretty awful though.

Is there any chance someone here could post a pic of one with a matching windscreen?

Well, I'm back to the stock (clear) screen and would go with the clear LL were I to make the purchase. But you're right, mixing and matching looks goofy.
