Good job!  (1) What is the main problem with the fit?  (2) Can you see any way of making it fit with the OEM gasket? 

Thanks again for your report.  I also have the CB14 and don't want it on the Interstate.  I really like the looks of yours!

First thing I did was mount it to the OEM shield...didn't work...big gap in center section.  You COULD trim & drill new holes if you have experience w/plastics & confidence.  You'd need a bandsaw with a fine blade then clean up rough edges with a sharp piece of stainless steel to shave it smooth and get the leading edge right.  If I get a wild hair next winter I may do just that.  I don't think taking that much material off the bottom would effect the performance that much.  It performs THAT well!

To me, in comparison, the CB looks like a frigging sail!!!  And on the Dark, you have this black mass in front of you that blocks the road for 50 feet in front.  The CV looks cool and rakish from the side but just looks bland (goldwingish) from the front.  The thickness and optical clarity are tops on the CV though.

Well, off to the Dyno...now, where is that dang UPS truck

What are your thoughts on the Kury after using it for awhile.....Are you still pleased with the performance or have any issues come up? Love the way the shield looks!
Thanks

I've had it on for a couple of longer rides and in both calm and gusty conditions.  Since it is thinner than the CV it will bounce a little when a large gust hits it and as any other windshield, it does little for side winds. 

We rode about 250 miles last Sat up to Duluth GA and back...just about all on highway...loved the shield.  You get "slight" buffeting at the top of your head but not enough to blurr my vision or annoy me. 

Coming out of Atlanta we were in the typical 5-lane mad dash to escape a nuclear strike (or so it seemed) and stayed in the two left lanes most of the time.  One thing I noticed...the windshield tint and height didn't distract me.  My dark CB was distracting because I was always aware of that dark mass...not so with the Kury.  Even at night the tint is easy to see through. 

I also found a really good rubber seal at LOWES for behind and am still using the CV lower seal for the bottom until I find a better one.

This is the best looking shield out there and it performs as good or better than a CV...JMHO

Larry why did you have to go there..... That is a faulty seal if I ever saw one, maybe an upgrade to a duct tape seal would be better!!!

Did you guys know that Larry is so talented that he is going to co author Lane Kiffin's new book. "I Bleed Orange"

It's a VOL thing

It's a VOL thing

I have some clients in TN (just over the line from NC) and I have learned It is indeed a "VOL" thing
