Great product; too short to block wind

Looks nice, but way too short to be an effective windshield. Even at in-town speeds it felt like no windshield at all.

Installed on a 2013 FLS Harley Davidson.<br /><br />Pros:<br />- Very good looking on the FLS model.<br />- I no longer need to put on an eyes protection while riding within the city.<br />- The windchill is way less severe now.<br />- Easy on, easy off.<br /><br />Cons:<br />- Wind buffeting is crazy out in the highway.

Highest quality apparent in every aspect. Be sure to unlock before mounting. Unit is shipped locked. Good wind break without dominating the appearance of the bike. Mounted on '12 FLS.
