The Rifle lowers arrived today and I installed them and took about a 30 minute ride to test them. I rode at speeds up to 65 MPH and the horrendous head buffeting that I experienced previously with just the windshield is mostly gone. I was wearing a 3/4 helmet with a face shield for this ride. With a full face helmet I'm thinking that long distance riding will be very doable. I plan to do an overnight highway trip next month so will find out.

So now that you've had them for a while would you buy them again??
