Default Anyone tried this thing?

Has anyone used the $1400 contraption from Corbin? Strange, it only comes in black for my bike, but they show many colours in their gallery, (red in the video demo, and purple on the nacelle model), but another unit they sell (touring fairing) is available primed.... and, as usual, they didn't respond to my email. They are brutal. $1400 bucks.... WHAT....??? Come on! Does it work?

Although it's operated manually, it looks a lot like the fairing on a BMW. I'm sure it works well and I might be interested, but $1400?! I don't think so. I could get a batwing with audio for that.

That thing is uglier than a red headed step child that has been beaten with the ugly stick!

Does anyone know if the Batwing from Memphis Shades require me to relocate my front turn signals, or have a light-bar? Their website sucks.....
