I got one of the taller windscreens http://www.1tail.com/sa/p/Buell_Lightning_XB9_XB12 _Windshield.htm and it is only a marginal improvement. I am curious how much difference the laminar piece makes. |

I had one for my Uly both standard and tall buell screens. I didn't like it on my bike. I put it on Fiance's Scg and she likes it alot. Looking at bug splatter patterns for her and me it looks like the bugs are directed over her helmet, I have bug guts all over the upper portion of my jacket. She is 5'6". |

I've used one on my Scg for a couple of years and like it. Use it mainly for distance trips, just keep an extended CF flyscreen for around town. The LL does make a difference in airflow for the rider. Definitely less fatiguing on distance trips |

Been discussed quite often here on BadWeb. I've had one for a couple of years and it makes a big difference on the highway. |

The difference is very subtle, You will notice it most on highways during extended rides at speed, alot less fatigue than stock. |

Anyone noticed any head shake after installing one of these? I bought a generic bar-mounted windshield for my Ss, but it actually knocked me 'n the bike around more than without it. Ride was much smoother once i took it back off. ~SM |

No head shake or instability with the Lip as far as I can tell. |

I have one for sale if you are interested. I placed it in the for sale section a couple of months ago with not takers. Let me know if you are interested. |

I put a Uly Flyscreen on my Scg, so I can add the windscreen when I'm riding on the highway. Around town, I leave it off or stick it in my bag. No pun intended for you Euro guys. |

Anyone noticed any head shake after installing one of these? I have had one on my cityx since it was nearly new. I have never noticed any head shake, but I did notice more helmet buffeting. I had to lower mine down a couple of inches so my helmet stays in clean air. It made my helmet a LOT quieter when I did this. The only other advice is to stock up on 3m dual lock. You can get them from Rat Shack for a few bucks. Every time you remove your shield to clean you will break off a few teeth. Break too many and you will lose your shield. I found this out the hard way while on the freeway. Mine came loose at 80mph. Amazingly I caught it before it flew over me. I must have looked comical trying to stuff this thing into my aerostich while at speed.
