LRS X-Stream Review
My X-Stream arrived today, and I gotta say, I am very impressed. This 10" shield gives me as much wind protection (to my head and face) as my 15" winter shield. the air flow is perfect for my height. Plus this shield looks badass. One of the best looking shields on the market.
I have to say that there are two small things that could be better: First, the way it is swooped directs air directly at my ears when my freedom wings are completely closed. but if I open them up just about 1/3 of the way, it works perfect. and the second thing is that it shakes / vibrates (no noise though) in the 1500-2500 RPM range. Not really a problem, but I just found it a bit weird.
I would recommend this shield to everyone, but I would caution you to make sure you get the right height. The medium tint is darker then expected, and the curves distort your vision if you are looking through it. Neither of these are issues with me, but if I was a shorter guy, I would need a lower shield.
Here are a couple of pics:

tall
If you don't mind me asking, how tall are you, and are you using the stock seat and suspension? I'm 6' 34" inseam, and have the stock seat and suspension, and am thinking of getting one of these to replace my 8" ultra.

How does your 8" ultra work for you? If you think 2 extra inches would be ok with the ultra then you should be good with the 10" X-Stream.
