Yes sir I do.
Had it on bike for about 7k mikes now and can hands down say of the 10 (or more) diff shields I've owned it is by far my FAVORITE.
Last year rode in some 40+ mph winds with old shield all day in IO and was miserable. End of Mar I rode in some stronger winds with new shield and rode one handed at times.
Doesn't grab the wind\wind pushed it like other shields I guess because of odd shape wind gets cut by it.
6'4"
Hammock seat
Had a 10" sold
Using 11" windblade (would like to try 12)

Anybody have a picture of a windblade installed? I'm trying to decide between the flat top and windblade to minimize the wind my wife gets. Flat top looks good, and can't tell what the profile of the windblade is from the one picture of it from the front on their site.

I have the Flat top. It made a big difference in the air thrown back at my wife. She was very pleased with the change. I however think that in real heavy wind it kind of smashes into the wind rather then cut through it.. Makes it rough handling and the front end feels squirrelly. I had a 6 inch Klock Werks that I loved but it beat the hell out of my wife. I am also thinking of going with the Wind Blade as it looks like it would cut the wind pretty good. I am thinking of a 7 inch wind blade. My Flat Top is an 8 but I should have gone with the 7. By the end of the day I am a little slumped in the saddle and the top is in my sight line.

Hmmm......I've got a 10 inch Flat Top and am very impressed with it. Wife really likes it too.
Last weekend we pushed into a 24mph head wind (pulling a trailer) and the bike was plenty steady for me, but that was a wind right on her nose. If it's a cross wind or at any angle at all I thinking the wind is going to effect the bike regardless.
Wife and I are both short, she is sitting on a Mustang seat, but I am a look THROUGH the shield guy as opposed to look over.
I can set my hand on my helmet and have the width of my palm of dead air space above my head. (matches that between my ears).
