Well it has been sitting in the box for awhile. So I put it on and went for a ride today. Fit is good, I had to trim it alittle with my western bars. I would say it works good not excellent like so many other reviews that I have read. It is very good at blocking wind at shoulder down level yet fails prevent buffetting at the head level. I have the perfect size screen on it 18" for my 6'2" self. any taller and I would be seeing thu it any lower why bother. So I tried a few different helmets. The skid lid worked well 2 modular and one full face all had buffett problems. I ride at about 85 passing over the ton. It was perfect under 70. That is not where I ride though. I also am concerned about the paint as it is not rock solid it does wobble a bit tha whole thing is a little woblbly. I will post pics. But yes I do like it alot. much more comfy able to ride harder longer faster with out getting worn out. I just get a little buffett headache after a few hours solid. I do not agree with past reviews i have read on this item.

can't wait to see it evand and when you get a few more miles behind it let us know if your overall impression changes or not.

I got about 300 miles today. I do love the gas milage increase I went from 35mpg to 42mpg I expect it will be even higher as I was really realy speeding today Top end acceleration has gone up as well.

After selling my parabellum, I am not trying anymore aftermarket jobs, that was my 3rd. The problem besides head buffeting is the windshields all fix to the bars and headlamp, so its like having a friggin great sail there at speed. The riceburners have the windshield built into the fairing which is bolted to the frame. Anyone see the new BMW that has an electrically adjustable windshield height? The Suzuki VStrom has a 3 position manual adjustment.
