Ok, I understand you wouldn,t put it on your bike. I got no problems with that, I like mine and I don't care if anyone else trys one or not, it's all good, however I think in fairness to all readers we should stick to the facts and results, not theory and opinion. Facts: 1) Its is now vertical (I can't tell if it is perfect straight or not, but I would say not perfect, maybe near perfect, since I probably have never done anything perfect. 2) It does not spill over and hit me in the chest. 3) Does cause more drag than previous mount at 45 degrees. It took 5-8 miles off my top end. 4) I seldom travel over the speed limit since I am long past the age of immortality, but have had it up to 82 mph (best ever speed test) with no noticable bad control affectsor instability. That said I really don't care how it reacts above 70 since that is the maximum speed limit in my area, anyways, I think you look at the bikes designed to cruise over these speeds you will notice the windshields are about two hands high anyways, so what is your point?

Why it does not do like you predict, I can't say, that is theory, opinion. It does have a reverse curve at the top of the shield, perhaps that helps to direct the wind higher (I actually read that as a l claim, not on this shield, but on another in JC Whitney that had a similar design). Fact: this shield's attachs lower than a bar mounted shield. What that does for you I can't say. Maybe a lower center of resistance to the steering and it is easy to see over (opinion)
Finally, I will say that I would buy it again, and unfortunately I am re-ordering now, since my bike fell off the side stand while on a limestone driveway soft from rains. It took out a chunk of the bottom left side. Maybe in theory if it were a different kind it would not have broken. If anyone cares to test that out that theory please report back the actual results. Good news though is it still works well in the rain, even with the chunk missing. We've beat this topic to death, don't you think (big white flag waving). If some one actually wants more information to buy or needs help to install one I would be glad to offer whatever help I can, otherwise, I offline on this topic guys.[/img]
