I have one, a Deadcenter.
No problems, in fact I never take it off anymore.
I thought I would switch back and forth but never do.

Hooch - that's a good looking bike, what does the inside of that wing look like and how does it install?

I have a Reckless XL Fairing for my RKC, no problems at all. Goes on for winter, comes off in the spring. Cold wind protection for my hands is the big plus. I enjoy both on or off, the versatility is great. That big pretty chrome nacelle is just too sharp to keep covered up. I don't plan on putting it back on for another month or two.

if your asking me then all i can say is that it was on my bike when i bought it. the mounting bracket is the same as a stock windshield, in fact i just bought a windshield to put in its place, until i get use to the bike. it weighs about 35 pounds.
