Default Stealth Shield - NEW from LRS

Ok so here is the concept drawing for the new LRS stealth shield.


Please let me know what you think, like, dont like, would change.

I have always relied on the opinions of you guys here on the forums. Try to use your imagination and mount it on your mental bike and let me know what you think.

a few things to note about the shield is that the flip up portion of the shield goes all the way to the edges of the shield. Unlike any other windshield in its class it has a full flip up and diverts and channels wind to the side.

The idea is to get the best of both worlds an ultra and an XStream shield and still have the pure awesomeness of the looks.

Looks like a great idea to me. Seems the center section would help to kind of "split" the wind.

I think it might be OK for some but not me! I would have to see it on a bike to say for sure!

From that picture, its not for me! Hard to tell without it on a bike, but I'm more of a simpleton.

Not being a windshield guy, it's hard for me to visualize what it looks like on the bike. If you need some shots of a tinted one of installed on a black-out touring bike, I'd be happy to put one one here for you and snap some before and after photos.

Does a windshield like that increase drag, or does it produce the same amount of drag and simply redirect the airflow?

1. It's ugly!
2. Hopefully better function than form.
3. Is it made from thicker material than X-Stream 3.0?
4. Have vibration/fluttering issues been eliminated?
5. Where's the center mounting hole?
6. Do you do extensive real world testing before release?
