"I installed this product on my 1987 Honda Rebel. I was looking for a small windshield becase I have a small bike. When I first installed it, I was a bit worried that I had got one that was too small. I went for a test ride on the freeway, and it worked just like I hoped it would. It deflects the wind right over my head. This makes for much more comfortable freeway driveing. I can even do shoulder-checks without feeling my helmet pushed back by the wind. Pluse, it looks good on my bike. The only drawback is that now I have a bit of turbulance up around my head which shakes my helmet a bit. I imagine that by adjusting the angle of the windshield, this could be reduced or gotten rid of."

Cons: A little difficult to figure out how to install, could scratch the handlebars
"I bought it on faith, had only ridden one short ride at freeway speeds on a used 1999 V-star. The instructions are quite weak, but I figured it out. I didn't appreciate this windshield until I started riding a different a bike without one. This did a terrific job for me on my bike, it dramatically reduced wind impact on my body and vehicle and reduced wind noise substantially. Wish it would fit my new bike..."
Pros: It was easy to install and cut down on some of the wind.
Cons: To small for what it is.
"This product is to small I put it on my Honda 81 CX500D expecting more wind reduction then I got. About the only thing this windshield did for me was keep the bugs out of my teeth."
