Picked up the RC1 and installed it today. Easy install. Bike goes at least 10mph faster Smile

Looks really good. Between that upgrade and a set of RLETs you'd be lucky to keep the wheels on the ground!

What an awesome look. I’m definitely getting one for my ‘14 std. Is there any change in the airflow as you ride?

That's what I was thinking.. well actually it was.... just think how much faster it would go if you added a set of RLET's. Wink

Klink- I took it for a short ride today (did get in interstate for a little bit up to about 75) and didn't notice a ton of difference. It did seem a little quieter. It was fairly windy today. Will get a longer ride in tomorrow morning and see. I like the way the smoked screen keeps the sun glare off the instruments.

It really does look nice. I've never been a fairing guy but I am considering one of these. You said you picked it up today, did you get it somewhere other than samurider?

I have an RC2 on my '14, and at 5'10" I think I'm the perfect wrong height for this screen. The wind blast off the screen seems to hit me just below the helmet, at the perfect wrong place. Quite a noisy racket, even with a snug fitting Shoei GT Air. My ride is much quieter without the RC2, but the RC2 looks so cool that I leave it on Tongue.

Picked it up from the post office (wasn't home when they tried to deliver it. Shipping from Japan to first delivery attempt was 6 days. About 4 weeks from ordering to shipping.
