CA, the more miles I put on it the more I like it.

I just ordered one for my CB1100. My CB750 always wears a Plexi 3 (same as Plexi 2, but with lowers) for winter riding. I tried fitting the Plexi 3 to the CB1100 last year, but the lowers clashed with the big turn signals. I like the lowers on the Plexi 3 (keeps my knees warmer), but I'm sure the Plexi 2 will work out fine.

I've had a few chilly rides with the NC Deflector DX that is on there now and I definitely don't want to ride for another winter with that little shield. It would be OK if I still had my old snowmobile suit

I always thought of Phoenix being warm and dry, I visited my brother out there twice for Christmas and it does get cold when the sun goes down. It would get up to 60 during the day and 30's at night. Good golf weather, but i can see needing protection from the cold. My favorite area was northern Scottsdale, reminded me of the Flintstones, and Cave Creek was pretty neat. Great area, i need to make a trip out there soon.

Yeah, compared to most of the rest of the country, we have it pretty good in winter. I ride every day, so the big shield comes in handy for those early morning 30/40 degree days. With the expanded upper body and hand coverage, I don't have to bundle up like a mummy for winter rides. Usually just my leather jacket and light gloves will do. When I just had the Deflector last year, I had to put on a lot more to stay warm.

I also run a Plexifaring in the winter and I have heated grips as well. To keep my feet warm, I fabricated sheet metal covers for my engine guards and that does a good job of deflecting the air off my feet.
