Default Slim and windshield

Anyone have some pics of their Slim with a windshield? Would love to see some, and which one fits!

Here's mine with the QD windshield last week, before it went in for the Stage 1 upgrades - pipes, AC & SERT...

That don't look bad at all on a Slim.

I'm not a fan of the windshield but this does look good with the aux lighting. I really need to get one in the near future because windburn on long rides sucks.

Truth is, I'm not real happy with this one.
When I installed it, the weather prevented me from taking a test ride, and just sitting on it on my garage it appeared that I was looking through it (it's 18").

Now that I got a chance to ride it, the top of the shield is directly in my line of sight - very annoying. The coverage though is fantastic. I rode it to a dealer last weekend on a 40° day, and I can say that without it, I wouldn't have done it. But having that line right where it is gotta go...

I'm either going to have to cut it down or get a shorter replacement screen from Long Ride Shields or elsewhere... or maybe look for a seat that'll boost me up about an inch.
