subscribing....... i had an 8" LRS with the flip put on when i bought the bike back in the winter to help with the cold air...it was good but i have to look through it...now it's getting warmer and i just got a 4.5" Clearview with recurve..(by the way i'm 5'6")...put it on last night..was pretty good..wind only started to get bad at 70+..and i can easily see over it with...I think i might be able to see over a 6", depending what seat i'm using (stock or Brawler solo)...so i'm thinking of maybe trying this new 6" Ultra flip myself.
Could take a while to get feedback, from what i know it's a pretty fresh product..

It's a brand new windshield, like a few days old...as far as I know.

Why don't you buy one and tell us how you like it?
Gotta be a first at something..

I can tell you that their regular recurve flip is kick *** though...
I recommend it.

I have a 9" medium gray x-stream windshield on its way for my SG. I am 6'1" and will be comparing it to the stock windshield. I should have it in the next couple of days and will let you know my thoughts.

Considering LRSs history with various qaulity & engineering problems, if I was in the market, Id wait for several months for them to get it done right. If others want to be their test mules & find the problems for them ( like the XStream) , go ahead.

So far I have had no issues with a 6" regular recurve flip, works fine for me.
Waiting to hear some reviews on the new windshield also....

I'm a test mule as you put it, and I'm glad I am. I have changed up three time's. So far I liked the 7 in xstream, but I was looking for something a little lighter, so I called and Matt sent me the new 3.0 version of the xstream that to me look's more like the klock work's shield. I didn't care for this version so I called to see if I could still get the 2.0 in a medium tint. Matt say's no problem, but we have a new design called the ultra flip, and feel it would be the best all around shield for those that don't like the xstream look. So then he tell's me to keep the 3.0 and he'll send me the 6 in flip, and if I like it , he will refund $20.00 cause the flip is that much cheaper in price. I had my doubt's but I must say that LRS and Matt have earned my loyalty if for no other reason than customer service!

I just ordered the 9" ultra flip (in dark grey) for my ultra on Friday. I'm in Cali so it should be here Monday, or Tuesday. I'll post some pics & thoughts as soon as I get the chance.
