Aftermarket windscreen options besides ZG?

There was a guy on TOB who had a tinted windscreen on his S2R1K.  It wasn't a Zero Gravity screen and the height was approx. halfway between stock and the ZG Touring screen for monsters...any idea what I'm talking about?  I seem to recall that the dude from TOB got his screen from a German website, but I could be wrong.  Anybody know what I'm talking about?  And do you have a link to the site that sells these screens?

It's not this is it?



I can't really tell but the picture above appears to be a ZG windscreen (logo top right)

OK - my post is definitely a ZG custom windscreen made specifically for that bike. I emailed ZG and got this response:

All of the items we built for that bike were 1 off customs. However, you are no the first person to ask for these items today. We are looking at the possibility of making these as production pieces right now. I will keep your e-mail and update on our progress.

If they made that I would buy it in a heart beat!  Sorry for the thread hi-jack

I have the ZG touring (taller) windscreen, but that looks perfect!

Was there a big difference in wind blast felt with the ZG and/or any other windscreen? Thanks!!
See ya,

My taller Zero Gravity is MUCH more stable at high speed than the stock screen (I added the PoorDucRider stays anyway)
It raises the wind stream - I'm tall, so that meant from my upper chest/throat to my face/visor. It's better, but not ideal.
There will be turbulence behind most screens - the issues it creates is probably very individual.
No screen is more quiet, but at high speed it will be a lot of wind hitting your body at full force.

I like the protection, but hate the turbulence.

The ZG Touring windscreen makes a significant difference in wind blast.  I'm also tall (6'2"), and wind hits me in the helmet instead of mid-torso.
