Only been out with it fitted once for about 45mins so can’t really say too much just yet. Looks great, especially now the brackets have been powder coated, need to get some more miles in really before giving a proper verdict.

3. Oil Cooler Fan Motor
4. USB iPhone Charging ports
Nice! What brand passing lamps and brackets did you go with? I couldn't see a brand logo in the pics. I also see you're in San Diego. If you ever head into AZ, hit me up! I'm south of Tucson, about 30 minutes from Tombstone.

I’m 6’1”. If it ever stops raining I’m hoping to get out and give it a good run out. The new seat will drop me down a bit as well which will help I’m sure

Ha ha me too! I think it will be fine for what I need, 2-3 bigger runs a year and local rides.

James,

The passing lamps are Ebay specials, half the cost and fairly good quality...just did not came with instructions...

Thanks for the invite...

The WindSplitter is a great windshield and it works amazing well with my physical stature...5'8", 32" inseam 150lbs.

Prior bike is a '14 Limited and I have very minimal head/helmet buffeting with this windshield vs my fairing mounted '14 model. Just need to adjust the "mail slot" vane to get to the perfect settings.

However, I am experiencing lots of p draft wind from the bottom and I believe, the "fangs" may take care of that, but still researching...
