Zero Gravity PROTOTYPE
10/01/13 5:56 PM

First I must say THANK YOU TO GLENN FROM Zero Gravity. You are a gentleman and a scholar sir.

This story as always begins with Priscilla, when first I hit speeds in excess of 180 mph aboard her my quest for less buffeting began. I knew I would spend a lot of time with her at or above these speeds so I needed something better. The stock windscreen caused buffeting at speeds over 180 even in full tuck. I tried the ZG double bubble and immediately traded it for another stock windscreen to a member here on the forum. It didn't buffet the same just different but at 180+ the DB set up some kinda deep hum that was kinda wierd. Might be me or my tuck or whatever. Not sure. And not saying that the ZG DB is not a fantastic windscreen. I had one on my busa and it did not resonate at all at above 180. But I digress. Communication between myself and Glenn from Zero Gravity began.
My first thought was to request development of a Corsa model windscreen for Priscilla. A type of windscreen we see in Moto GP where speeds get up there. Glenn and I discussed this and the pros and cons of the current line-up of windscreens as it applies to the ZX-14R. I brought up the fact that I think there are some flaws in the shape and execution of the SR model for my application. We also discussed tint preferences and color bases for those tints. We discussed fit, finish, thickness, and overall quality feel. At this stage I asked for assistance from a couple of 14Nation Brothers and they also chimed in with THIER thoughts on current windscreen offerings for the R.
Glenn did me one better. In fact, I would say ZERO GRAVITY CHANGED THE GAME. The Corsa windscreen and it's development for the R IS COMPLETE. It will be released shortly I am sure by ZG in varying shades. I recommend the Light Smoke. I have the very first prototype Corsa Windscreen here in my garage and she is beautiful!

But here is how ZG changed the game. Under development has also been a new windscreen coming for superbikes called the Marc 1, after Marc Marquez. My personal favorite GP Star! (Love the way you stuffed Pedrosa back to the hospital dude! ). This windscreen, the Marc 1, has never been released to ANY superbikes. It has not been ever mounted on any model street bike outside of R&D. Predator racing will be offering feedback on the Marc 1 and Priscilla has THE VERY FIRST PROTOTYPE MARC 1. Not mounted on a superbike, not a 1000 either, and sorry Marc, not a Honda. May I introduce to y'all the very first pre-production prototype Marc 1:

I can't say this enough men, without your belief, and help with emails to ZG and everything else, not much would get accomplished! Y'all are my brothers. Y'all have my utmost respect. Thank you.

Bro, it is fing sic! Such an aggressive look in real life. ZERO BUFFETING AT 180+mph today! This screen gives a smooth flow of air, smooth and stable. Not a dead pocket, just smooth flow. Absolutely flawless job by zero gravity on this one. Perfect fit. Finish is excellent. And thickness and tint of the light smoke are PERFECT! Marc knows! Awesome job ZG!

Sounds good to me. I have tried so many different windscreens and they all cause too much buffeting. I have a ZG double bubble, A ZG sport touring, a Memphis shades "cockpit" style, a hot bodies double bubble, 2 different "racing" windscreens, an MRA, several cheap Chinese types and guess which one is on my bike now? The stock windscreen that came on the bike. It lets a lot of air through but no buffeting at least for me. I have been searching for one that cuts down the amount of air without buffeting to no avail.

That's pretty sweet. I went with MRA because there was no Corsa model for the 14, I'll try this one out as well when it's out.

The Corsa is also excellent in that it creates a big comfy pocket and looks sic as hell.
Very reminiscent of the endurance racer look I love!

I spent two tanks on the Marc 1 today and damn it's fuckin sic. I love its feel. I love it when hangin ass cheek off! Fing flawless! It has a flow to it, a draft, a sensation of 'out of ur way' aggressiveness at speed. The view to the instruments is business like and unimpeded! I love the Marc 1!

I will be giving a full report on the Corsa soon! Not enough hours in the day sometimes! SweetFa!, make another pot of coffee, I got shit to do! ;))

I believe our fellow Hooligan Marc would say FTP! :)) We need to prospect young Mr.Marquez into the Nation. He looks to be about a medium t-shirt size...
