Yep, I have a X Stream and a Ultra Flip. I like both of them but the X Stream provides "clean" air behind the screen i.e. no buffeting. The flip is good and gets the air flow up high but the flow is not as clean as the X Stream.
I don't mind the look of the X Stream at all as function is more important than form to me in this instance, but some others have a hard time with it when they see it.

I just installed a 17" medium-tint LRS on my Road King. Got in about 160 miles today with it... very nice! I can see completely over it and the little flip routes the wind nicely over my head. Was able to ride all but the interstate miles with the face shield up on my helmet.
I know this isn't the fairing shield you linked to, but thought I'd chime in anyway about a great product.

Wonder why they don't make windshields for bikes like Harley Nightsters and all.
MY OL needs one on her bike with quick release. She just won't Pay for what HD wants for a windshield.

Glad you chimed in also. I'm waiting on the 19" to come out next month but couldn't decide on how dark I wanted the tint. The pictures they have on their webpage aren't the best to decide on tint color. I think I'll go with the medium just like yours. Now that I've seen yours, it looks to be the perfect tint for me. Now I've just gotta wait till they release the 19".
I thought about the 19", but it's only an inch shorter than what I had. The 17 is perfect for me, as I prefer to always look over it.
Be sure to post a pic when you get it installed.

How tall are you pargenz? I considered the 17" because of the "flip up" but Im afraid I will get too much buffeting. The stock 20" is just even with my eyes and is annoying sometimes. If I set like momma told me, I can see over it but I have bad posture and as I said, its level with my eyes.
