Bought the Slipstream SO-3 and installed it on the CB. OK, found that it took so much wind off my chest that the second to the lowest setting on my heated gear is still too hot.

But a lot of wind buffeting leading to a lot of noise around the helmet. Need a solution for that. Then I recall I had a boat load of extra velcro dots for mounting my Laminair Lip. Took 40 minutes to find them, but I did, and took the lip off my MRA screen and mounted it on the Slipstream. Finally took it for a test ride this afternoon: Woow! Wind goes up and over my head, much quieter, this is good!

Pro: Very good protection, even for the thighs, noise is now very tolerable. I can have the flip screen on my helmet up without the air stream yanking my head back.

Con: Dang mounts loosen up on short rides (mainly the fork tube mounts, their system is not impressive), wind now pushes from behind (expected, and this is nit-picking), more noise from the road and engine now finds its' way to my ears. Looks very 1970's ish and dorky. But I have a Chic fairing coming in for the warm weather and when I want to look cool.

Nice looking shield... Congrats on a successful setup.

Whatever gets you down the road in comfort is all that matters.

Looks like AZ could use some modern road making techniques..that's rough bro.

During the test ride I went looking for a place to shoot the bike with the new plastic and ended up in some foot hills north of Deer Valley Airport, pretty much behind the old Martin Baker ejection seat plant (now long gone).

Horns: I forgot to mention that I upgraded the horns with Hella look a likes (and sound a likes) that I bought off of Aliexpress (China's version of eBay) for around $8 delivered. Had to buy some aluminum flat stock to mount them up and spray painted them black. They come with a red fascia.

Rboe, if the horns look alike and sound alike, what's the point? Are they louder?

That's one huge pair of "honkers"!...sorry, couldn't resist.
Any current issues? Did you need to add a relay?

Not sure about those horns, but the shield looks like it will do the job...

So far, the only "farkle" on my bike is... Me

LOL

They are about twice the diameter of the stock ones and much louder. I used the stock wiring. Should probably have used relays, but their use is pretty short.

Nice shield. Looks about the same size as my NC Plexistar. Just right for AZ winter riding.

I had one of those on my CB750 about 15 years ago. I ditched it after the handlebar mounts loosened and the rods slid down and dinged my tank. Keep an eye on them.
