I just put a Flyscreen on my 48, and let me tell you...for me it has made a world of difference! The look is cool in my opinion, the 70-80mph blast of air nailing me everyday being diminished is awesome, and the last three fill-ups at the pump have surprised me! For the last year, I stop everyday to fill up for my commute. I reset the trip odometer everytime and where before i would get any where from 40 to 44miles for 1 to 1.3ish gallons of Premium fuel. The three days this shield has been on mu bike shows the following:
Monday- 57.8 miles 1.19gal
Tuesday- 53.7miles 1.01gal
Wednesday- 53 miles 1.0gal

So, its a winner for me!
