I think it looks ok, better on the orange bike with the short bags than the black bike with extended bags. I don't think it looks better than a regular road king windshield, but if you want something a little different, it's kind of cool.

Sorry, not trying to be difficult; what's "cafe" about these? The quarter fairings with the extended windshield? Or does that refer to the intended destination or something?

Cheers
