63 pages of this thread over the last hour plus... Damn is all I can say. Absolutely amazing.

One of those moments when words just can't describe what your thinking... Excellent job Batman.

1st off Happy Fathers Day to all you dad's out there.
2nd I got my Fathers Day present early.... Here is what was waiting when I got home Friday.



Took the old Street glide wind screen off and installed my new LRS 9" dark tinted shield.





Went out for a 40 mile cruise. What a difference. I can actually see where I'm going. Before even with my 3M Air Seal glasses I had a lot of bouncing. Now the breeze is flipping right over the top of my helmet. Awesome job both on the logo and script, and also awesome product. It has my seal of approval!!!

Thanks to James at Long Ride Shields.

Nice job LRS.

Think about how bad *** would that look if you had some LEDs shining at the bottom edge of the shield from inside the fairing!

Here is the "making" of the Project Cheapskate shield thread if anyone wants to see the actual process of how Batman's shield was made! : )
