yupp!!!!!! love mine, ok i'll give ya the pros and cons

Pros: keeps the sun off yr face (don't know if you have had this happen but after a long day a riddin my face gets either burnt to a crisp or my lips get all cracked, not any more) makes riddin in the rain almost fun no more needles in the face, i also don't run a front fender so this is another added bonus, i haven't had cold weather yet but i can imagin a pro and con with it, one it will probley keep my face alot warmer in colder weather, the only bad thing i can see is that it also might fog up on me, with or without the bubble i have a fulmar v2 and there is absolutly no lift in my helmet, i love that! and last but certainly most important IT LOOKS COOL AS ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cons: sometimes its nice to have the wind in your face and the bubble still alows air flow but not as much, in the summer, if your not movin, ITS HOT! i have a mirror shield, looks cool but after the sun goes down its freakin deadly, hard to see anything, when riddin with a group, its hard to talk at lights because your face is covered so everything is muffled, and just a personal thing, i like to make eye contact with people in cars who are either driving near me or trying to pull out (just a safty thing for me) i can't now cause they can't see my face.

all and all i would say i would buy another one tommoro if i didn't have the one i have now, most of the time i ride alone and when i'm with friends i just take it off or if its gonna be dark when i come home i don't leave with it on, things like that.

Thanks mang for the feedback. I was thinking of these issues when i thought of getting one. I think they look rad! I think I am going to get a mirrored one. I just took my fender off too so that might help. i have a little bag on my bike so if i need to i can can take it off if needed.

I use a bubble on long trips. Old Skool pretty much nailed it on comments. It is a pain to get on & off.

I have one with a flip up shield on it. Just a cheap one I picked up at of all places wal mart but it works great just flip it up for some air or back down if its raining.
I am thinking about getting one of these though..
