Great to hear gabe,

Mine is due in a week or so.  I ordered the black shield, not the smoked like yours...figured it'd look better on an 09 O/B SERG. 

Did you have to play very much with the adjustments?  How tall are you?

Post some more pics of the whole bike from different angles please.

Okay, just got it today.  As Gabe said, the quality is excellent.  The outer windshield is thick and sturdy as well as the inner aluminum shield.  The brackets have infinite positions and you can put the shield at virtually any angle.  I noticed as with Gabe's setup I had to raise the shield and move it a little further away to get the volume/velocity of air moving between the shields/behind the outer shield to get rid of all the burbble coming off the top of the shield.

Make no mistake...this thing works as advertised!  You just have to find your "sweet spot" and that will take a few test rides and adjustments. 

I still haven't got it dialed in yet but I'll tell you now I'm already thinking of exchanging the black outer screen for a tinted one.  That outer screen sits quite aways out there and does block some of my view of the road just in front of the bike although you don't notice it when tooling down the road at 55++.

This thing DOES look different and will take a little getting used to...it has a high-tech kind of look to it...

What the hey!  It'll give the batwing purists something more to rave-on about :orange: :orange: :orange:

Side closer view...BTW, they give you four black button head screws to replace those "T" screws on the shield after it's dialed in ...nice touch.

Ha ha...almost a whole day and no comments? 

Come on, give your impressions!  Bad as well as...well...whetever :nixweiss:

BTW, I'm still trying to find the adjustment where it deflects enough air while still maintaining a fairly low profile.

a buddy of mine has a BMW LT. Similar to stock windshield on his bike. Surprised HD has not replicated it. Perhaps 2012
