It was pretty cheap (I picked it up off eBay for $65 from Dennis Kirk's eBay outlet shop). It was easy to install and the only problem I had is that one of the wingnuts/screws (is that what they're called?) fell off. It's the black decorative nut (that also functions like a screw) that keeps the winshield attached to the handlebar clamps. While I owned the GZ, I had trouble from time-to-time with the remaining wingnut/screw as well and had to tighten it by hand once a week or so.
That Hellfire is now on my Vulcan, but I don't seem to be having a problem with the wingnut/screw any longer. Not sure why since I've tightened it by hand in all situations.

Likely the GZ vibrated differently. Never had a problem with the shield on Lynda's GZ but her M-50 tried to spit off the shield so the wing headed bolts were replaced with real bolts and the problem was solved. Almost every bike with added parts comes with it's own set of quirks.
