No turbulence and i even like the look.

    By drilling 2" down, do the 2 bottom nylon lock nuts have clearance over the dash ?

    Also wondering if the top of the black base could then be lowered by 2 inches in the center for better visibility (for those that are under 6' 4").

    Got mine tonight and the shield's hole pattern is different than the robo-brackets so I can't finish the install.

    While sitting on the bike, the knobs are on the inside and the windshield tabs are on the outside. If the knobs could be swapped to the outside, they would visually line up with the windshield tabs and increase visibility. Only have the obstruction on the outside, not both inside and outside. Also, having the knobs on the outside would allow use of both knobs simultaneously without having to cross your arms. Seems like some logical ergonomic mods.

    LOL Yes it's a mild winter by the standards of your U.S winters. Usually between 12 C ( 53 F ) to 17 C ( 62 F ) during the days with overnight temps of about 6 C ( 42 F ) to 10C (50 F ) We do get some rain though .

    Oh, yeah that's no winter at all; just a respite from the heat
