I will start by saying this is the first modification ive done to my ninja 300. While on the highway the wind no longer hits your chest and neck, but is thrown over the helmet. Highway riding with the stock windscreen wasn't unbearable but i found myself wanting to tuck to avoid the wind. With this screen you have no reason to full tuck or even half tuck. The only time i found i needed to alter my riding position at all, was at higher speeds say 90-100 mph but even then it wasnt really necessary.
Initial review. Item was well packaged with both bubble wrap filling the box and clear film protecting the wind screen itself. I reused the film to cover the stock windscreen I replaced. Install onto my 2016 ninja 300 was as close to idiot proof as possible. Just remove the mirrors, remove the stock windscreen, place the rubber vibration dampers / spacers, place the windscreen and screw the mirrors back on. Installation was slightly difficult with only one person, but doable. I did it similar to a car tire. Hand screw the bolt to get the placement then tighten.
Now, the next morning I headed out on a 230 mile group ride (all much larger and faster bikes. Except the Harley, but they don't count) from Phoenix, AZ to Prescott, AZ via back roads for the twisties. The windscreen made the highway (and faster. Shhh) speeds much more enjoyable as it reduced much of the wind buffeting I had before (I'm 5'8). Full tuck (had to at least try to keep up with the others) the vast majority of the wind, if not all, goes right over me.
One con for me, the windscreen appears to scratch easily. Hit a good size bug (I think it was a bug) and it left a decent scratch in the windscreen. Not a deal breaker, but just an fyi. Also, some people have noted that the windscrren is thinner than stock and seems to vibrate more. While it is thinner and flexes more, I don't notice it while riding (even at 110mph).
Overall, at this point I would recommend it. I might update this review in a few more months.
As a taller rider the zero gravity windscreen is a wonderful addition to my Ninja 300. The stock windscreen placed the bulk of the wind-flow directly in the center of my chest at speed which was quite tiring. The Zero Gravity windscreen solves that annoying issue and moves the wind up and over my helmet at speed (which slightly tucked). If you do not care for the wind placement with the stock screen I highly recommend this as a potential solution.
Very easy to install. I would suggest having some loctite to treat the bolts with before you put them back in. As shown has approx 4 inch taller profile. I have not ridden with it yet, just installed it. Very nice product. Lightly tinted. 10 minutes tops to install.
Item from "Rider's Discount" showed up right on time, fit our 2014 Ninja 300 perfectly, and installed in minutes. An improvement in wind deflection over the OEM windshield, which is essentially "for show" only.

Pretty solid windscreen. It fits perfect on my 2013 Ninja 300. It blocks a lot of the wind, except for around your helmet which i expected, it’s not terrible, but definitely recommend over the stock windscreen no doubt!
Bought this as an early Christmas gift for the boyfriend and he absolutely loves it's a full visor for his Ninja 300! :) In addition, expected delivery was to the 6th - 9th, but arrived on the 3rd!
Amazing! Looks awesome on bike. Deflects wind off the chest. Overall awesome purchase.
