Post Small wind deflectors?

I am considering a wind deflector. It's about 15" x 15" in size. Larger than the flyscreens but smaller than the windshields.

Only thing is it doesn't mount on the forks but on the handlebars. And only two mounts, one to each side of handlebar (or riser on Tee bars). Has anyone tried these ? Are the two bar mounts enought to keep it attached without bending or flexing at high speeds ?
Appreciate any info on this.

Oh yeah, tons of guys run small, two point handlebar mounted windshields. I have one I use in the summer time if I know I'm gonna be 100 plus miles from home and rain is a real possibility. I really don't like my massive tombstone when its warm out and this Slipstreamer Mini Police works great. It takes maybe two minutes to put on or off, squashes bugs great and breaks hyway wind just fine. And it doesn't dance around at hyway speeds.

Thanks that's good to hear. The one I'm looking at (at NationalCycle) does not have any metal brace embedded into the shield. It just has 2 mounts attached to the shield, looks like maybe 2" square area.

I wonder how much that would dance around at highway speeds though, since there does not seem a mounting point on the bottom. Looks cool though.

There is one guy in our riding group that has that exact shield on his Yamaha. He seems pretty happy with it and talks it up quite a bit.
