I got mine and put it on over the weekend. Took it off 2 minutes later. It fit fine, but I didn't care for the look. I especially couldn't stand the view when sitting on the bike. When I looked down I felt like I bolted a mailbox to my bike! I'll stick with my Yamaha flyscreen.

(rofl) (rofl) (rofl)  "...I bolted a mailbox to my bike!" LMFAO 
 
Meh it looks okayyyyyyyyyyyyy I guess. I have to see it on my bike.
 
Then I can take the f@#%ing mailbox off and throw it in the garbage. Another wind screen that doesn't pass my aesthetic test!  (rofl)  
 
I don't know what it is I just have never seen a wind screen that I liked on this bike.
 
EDIT: Attached a picture of what it looks like/reminds me of lmaoooo... like an industrial shed we can store grain for the livestock and salt/sand for the roads in the winter!  (rofl) (rofl)

Got mine today. It took about two weeks. Solid build but has a scratch. May have to paint it prior to installing it on my bike.

I had to move my ram mount as I had difficulties getting the keys in. Compare to my puig sport windscreen I like the look of this one better.
 
Went to work and took the highway. 100-145 kph started to feel the wind being deflected to my helmet and side of my waist but better than having no windscreen. Somewhat comparable to my sport puig. I can't really tell the deference between the two.
 
Just in case someone wants to see the looks of the puig windscreen here is a pic.

For the price... this one is a keeper (IMO).

Still not sure how I feel about the looks even in person and red. Eh, $20 it's great I guess. Probably still get the Ermax touring in red one day. Definitely no rush, especially now

1st ride opinion, almost 50 miles mixed riding into work.
 
1st off I cant get a gloved hand in there to insert, turn, or remove the key. That does not make me happy >:D , this is the biggest negative.
 
My wife thinks it looks ridiculous. It, itself. And also that I now have 3 different shades of red on the bike. Between the bike, crg levers, and the cowl. And I cannot disagree with her. Even being color blind, it is noticeable to me. Aesthetically I'm not sold on it. 
 
At 35 mph or below no noticeable difference.
 
35-65 mph notice less wind on abdomen and more on shoulders and head. This is not substantial. With visor open I can tell there is more air hitting me but it is less bothersome than without the cowl. Either the new direction of the air, or the air coming off the cowl hitting the air that was hitting me dead on creating less directional force into my face. Specifically my eyes, before the air would make my eyes water more than with the cowl. With visor closed, not a drastic difference. Helmet cuts right through the air.
 
Other speeds.. Can greatly feel the air change and that more of it is directed towards head and shoulders. Still not crazy, can head check fine. No buffeting or want to push you off feeling to be worried about. But really don't we all just tuck in this situation anyway..? In a tuck, wow. Everything but the noise just goes right around.
