[QUOTE="MajBach, post: 1331845, member: 27289"] Well I tried it tonight. While I'm waiting for my wings to arrive I thought I'd tell you about it. I'm 6'4" and have the seat raised. I normally use a C Bailey's +4 reverse contour. Matter of fact 99.9 % of miles logged is with this. It's usually all the way up but occasionally all the way down. It's super quiet all the way up, no buffeting but no air flow either. I tried stock a couple of times on short trips when it was supposed to be hot. Nice air to my chest but on the highway it's hard to hang on. All the way up, stock blows right on my head. I also have a tinted shorty but I left it in Texas and have only used it a couple of story trips. Mild improvement over stock but looks sweet on an 09. I've never been satisfied with any of them and still experiment. Tonight I took off the windscreen altogether and absolutely loved the result. Quieter than ANY of the other windscreens except maybe the CB all the way up. But laminar flow at any speeds save a bit of buffeting on my shoulders. I still am shocked at how quiet it was, even doing 90. But, it gets cold real fast if the temp is 75 or less. Surprisingly I don't feel pushed off like with the stock. It also look like shut. But tomorrow is supposed to be a bag sticker so I'm leaving it off for a couple of days. Wings are here. [/QUOTE]
