The new one I got for my S50 looks like that without the lower extensions - It's called a Malibu, is taller, at 18", than the Slipstreamer (15'') I had on the GZ, .
Interestingly, on my GZ with the 15" tall shield I never got any severe wind blast coming up from below behind the shield. I do get it at 50-55mph+ on the S50 with the taller shield. I tried changing the rake forward and back, went to adding MS lowers and am at the third different positioning of these things to see if I can eliminate the annoying wind blast coming up beneath the windshield. That wind is almost worse than riding with a full face helmet on and no shield. I think the design and shape of the shield have a lot to do with it, but you can't try them out without buying them first.
