    I went for short blast down the road, it works VERY good. It's soooo much quieter, I can hear more of the exhaust and can actually hear the radio without turning it up to like 22, now it's at 15 and it's perfect even at 80mph. The passenger likes it A LOT more as well . I rode to Orlando today with the taller 6" screen and my face was all tingly and I couldn't hear for awhile lol. This is awesome. I could jump on this bike now and ride anywhere. I put the Ergo II Highway pegs on as well.

    The only thing left really is the Kury cubby and an accessory outlet and Ram mount for my phone. I have GPS on my Wing so I haven't decided if I'm going to install that on my F6B or not. I may just use my phone but in the mountains it runs out of reception so who knows.

    What is your height, W? I take it you wear an open-face helmet, do you?

    You could also re-drill the holes about 2 " up on the shield, may look better on the bike...JMHO

    That's what I did Steve. Then I cut a couple inches off the top. It sits right at 15".

    I know it's super quiet and comfortable with the full shield but I can't stand looking through it. I feel like I'm in a car.

    By the way, W, that silver matte color is looking very nice in those two photos. If you have additional pics of the bike, I'd love to see them, especially if any are in direct sunlight and/or straight-on from the front, to give us an idea of what the windshield looks like in an oncoming view. Thanks.

    I'm 5'8" so I look through it, if it was on the wing it would be about half way up on the adjusters. It's the perfect height for me. I thought about drilling 2 new holes and lowering it a tad but after riding it's right where I want it. Any lower and the edge of the screen will be in my sightline. Plus it's better for the passenger who gets a pretty good blast as it is.

    To mount I just used some washers and factory bolts on the left and right to provide some tension there and the middle I used a rubber grommet the height of the mounting tit that's there and a couple washers with a longer bolt I had in the drawer. It's not moving unless it breaks LOL.

    As for the SRT flag yes former owner. 2012 SRT8 300. Nice car interior fell apart badly. Plus very expensive to mod and without a supercharger can't do much to it. Minor tune, filter and exhaust gets you nothing but sound. Cams and such are really really expensive. Between that and the poor interior and rattles I got rid of it and got the Focus ST.
