Aero screen kit and gel seat. Any opinions?

Does the aero screen kit make much of a difference in wind protection? How does the comfort level of the gel seat compare to the standard seat? I'm going to be the proud owner of a 2008 Triumph Daytona 675 SE on May 12 and can't hardly wait until zero hour.

I have a Powerbronze Double Bubble on my Graphite 675 along with the Gel seat and I have a Zero Gravity Double Bubble on my Track 675.

The Gel seat is great, especially if you plan to take any trips over a couple hundred miles in length. For the track it is not necesssary since you are never sitting in one place on the seat long enough for it to matter.

The double bubble windscreens or the Triumph Aero screen give much improved wind protection at highway speeds and above. Worth the investment if you spend much time riding at highway speeds.

Thanks for the input Triplethreat. I'm interested in the zero gravity double bubble but have to decide on either clear, dark smoke or smoke (leaning towards clear). Any opinions?

The clear Zero Gravity is clear all the way to the bottom of the screen and you can see through to the back of the instrument cluster. I don't like that, and will end up painting the back side of it black up a ways so that you can't see all that wiring... Other than that, the clarity is very good... The puig and several others come pre-painted in that area of the screen and look better because of that.

+1 on that! I have the Triumph screen and it has made a great difference, especially with the Helibars. Great fit, too.
