Well i dont really know what I expected but I can tell ya what I found.

Firstly top mark t othe guys at LRS, the quality is first class.

As for function on an SG, I'm 5'10" and it "feels" to high to me perhaps it just takes time to get used to.
In the highway at 80 -90ish the benefit kicks in there is a clear difference to the amount of air smacking atcha and I reckon the usual buffeting felt behind the SG fairing is reduced.....I guess thats about it really.

I'm still not soled on the look, there is a national cycle 5 1/2 inch screen on fleabay at the moment I might have a go at, not sure if it will do as good a job as the LRS 8" but may "look" better, I guess i am after a compromise between both.

Cheers
R
