Got it mounted last not have not took it out yet, hope to get in the wind today and see what kind of difference it make, hoping it just directs the wind off my chest and a little higher if so I will be very pleased.

Very nice. That's a clean looking bike too.
Yesterday I installed my new Dart Flyscreen. It looks like it could be an original equipment option; much nicer than other options with clamps on fork tubes and handlebars. I've had it up to 70 mph or so and it creates a small bubble of calm air about the same width and height of the screen itself, taking much of the wind pressure off my chest. I don't mind having my helmet in the wind stream when sitting upright and bending over the tank takes most of my head out of the wind stream too. Arms are still exposed to the blast, though if it's less noticeable if I tuck my elbows in.
All in all, for the shorter trips I generally take, the Dart Flyscreen is a good compromise between the unobstructed view of naked riding and a less-than appealing visual appearance of a larger windshield.
From time to time I think about riding across the USA (I'm in Florida but would love to ride in California where I grew up), in which case I would definitely get a full coverage fairing like the NC Plexifairing 3, but I'd take the Dart to use once I got out there.
You must be a beast to get your bike up on the center stand even on a downhill slope like that!

Feel the same way Greg! She is all stock otherwise, only other thing I want to do is weigh seat options, this one kills me in no time. I'm 6' 1" and 285.

No wonder the dart works so well for you! At 6', there's a lot more of me exposed to the wind. Smooth airflow would be nice though...
