Good question. I asked the same thing a while back & never got any responses. LRS is having a pretty good sale right now. It would be a good time to buy If it had any positive reviews.

Sorry, no way would I put that on my scoot. It looks like it would chatter/vibrate at highway speeds. On a highly customized ride used only for show/bar hopping it would look fine.

I had one when they first came out. Worked well, but not any better than the Freedom Shield I had on before it. In fact, I put the FS back on. The LRS is definitely thinner than the FS. But the main reason I took the LRS off was the view when looking through it. I had it sized right and was usually looking over it when riding, but glancing down, especially when looking at the fog line, felt like a weird acid trip from the 70's....or so I've been told. The curves of the windshield distorted everything. Gave me a headache. So it sits in the garage collecting dust, along with the stock windshield.

Thanks for the reply, My vision is distorted enough the way it is!

I do believe you pretty much have the answer now.

I'm running a 9" dark tint on my 15 SGS. Sorry no pic yet. It gets the job done for me. Can't say I'm crazy about the look but the feeling applies to anything beyond the stocker, which at 6"5" doesn't do much for wind. I picked one up from LRS on sale and got the $20 license plate promo. My cost was less than $60 delivered so I'm happy with it for that price. Distortion is an issue if you plan on looking thru the upper part. I haven't noticed an issue with vibration or chatter when running 70mph or so.
