I have the same shield and if I would have known how much I was going to like it I would have done it a long time ago. It's been on the bike about 5k with no issues.

There were some complaints on this site of failure.
I've seen one complaint and LRS was quick to reply to the OP with a solution.

I vote for the Klock Werks Billboard Flare. It's polycarbonite.

It really helped with the buffeting and looks cool too. Amazing how much air it took off the hands. I get questions about it's shape quite often.

Very, Very Good Shield.

Here's a couple pics of mine.
