Hello again! Finally had a chance to go for a quick ride early this morning.

Few items:
The ride consisted of freeway riding (approx 110km/h) and curves (approx 80kmh) for about 200km.
I'm 175 cms tall and medium built.
I've also got lowered handlebar put so I'm a bit more hunched forward compared to with the standard handlebar.
I've got Shark full face helmet and always wear earplugs.
I've never owned a full sized screens.

While on the freeway straights I tested different settings, from the lowest position to the highest. I moved my left hand around to feel the airflow while on the straights. I found that the lower positions meant that more air will hit you on the chest, helmet and shoulders. The higher you set the lip, the higher the airflow goes, and for some reason, the wider it goes (i.e. it hits your shoulders less).

Today I settled for the top two positions because the airflow hit just above the the top of the visor (about 3cm) and does not hit my shoulders. It seems that the air from the top of the visor down, is quite clean. I was able to crack open the visor (to reduce fogging) and leave it open without excessive wind coming through. The visor didnt even close on me at highway speeds.

Wind noise in my helmet was reduced quite a bit aswell. Although, hiding right behind the screen would reduce it even further...

The screen did not cause any vibration, you can see it flexing just slightly but I did not see it as a problem. I think it's because of it's thickness and it's shape. The fittings were sturdy and didn't move / shifted at all after my trip.

All in all, I'm quite happy with it. It is quite impressive for a small screen especially because you can adjust the airflow quite easily.

Just one note on the looks, the tinted colour is more purplish than grey. I bought this one not knowing exactly how it would look on the bike and was thinking of spraying the inside of the screen with plastidip to make it solid black if I didn't like the tint... I may do it in the future but for now I'm happy with it.

Cheers and hope this helps!
