Got the shield mounted and it's a major difference. No longer have the jet stream hitting me in my eyeball/forehead area, it simply shoots over my head now. Quality on the shield was great, no imperfections that I could find. Went with the 11" because the solo seat drops me down some. If I still had the stock seat on I probably would have needed a 12" or 13".

That's the beauty of LRS. So reasonably priced you can afford to have more than one. I know I have a few of them between 2 bikes.
