Yes glad you talked me into mine too! I rode for 3 hours the other day at right at 42 degrees, loving the 90% less helmet wind noise! I went ahead and went with the Baker built knock-offs from China though, could not see putting out 80 bucks for the dark smoke that matches the bottom of the windscreen! China brand was 30 bucks including shipping, but I have to wait until possibly January 25th to get them, half my winner here will be over! I am sure from my memory on my GL 1800 and from what you reminded me, of that hand and arm body wind getting probably 80% removed. And I can open them up during the summer to really direct that air in on me, due to this windscreen taking out 90% of wind! Keep the shiny side up, another mad stad fan
