I Love this windshield
| I like the windbender so much I moved it from my 2006 to my 2015, and put the brand new OEM windshield from the 2015 on the 2006 before I sold it.WAAAAAAY better than OEM for managing airflow. |

Wonderful product
| I've had one for 30000 miles and love it. Looking over the top without scraficing wind protection is the best. I HIGHLY recommend getting the rake kit. It's a dramatic improvement over stock....which isn't bad. The Rake kit is worth all the money, especially if your a high miler like me. (25K a year minimum) Since I'm on the freeway close to 100 miles every day, I'm going to try the ST with the rake kit to see if it can perform any better than the HP at constant high speeds. I'll let you know how it goes at a later date. |

I Love It!
| I just installed the HP15 with electric actuator on my 2012 Wing. As the title says, "I love it,". It absolutely does everything they say it should do, Installation took me a while, only because I am slow. The instructions were very good. I purchased the electric option and handlebar switch. Contrary to the instructions, I went ahead and installed the actuator when I installed the shield. However, I did not drill the hole in the top shield until I had ridden the bike and tried several manual positions. I simply wrapped the actuator up so it wouldn't scratch the windshield while I was deciding where that "sweet spot" was. I did risk scratching the shield doing it this way, but I did avoid tearing into the bike twice. Having said that I still managed to acquire a few very minor scratches which can easily be buffed out if they bother me. A protective film on both sides of the shields that could then be removed after installation might enhance the packaging. Again, this is an awesome product and also gives my bike a very sporty look. |

Windbender w/Baker Wings
| I'm learning all the time and trying very hard to make product improvements since I acquired Firecreek Accessories. Absolutely: the Baker Style wings, that mount to the side of the fairing, do not seem to play well with the Windbender. I have also tried them with a stock shield and found they caused, for me, more turbulence than they were worth. I could not find a position for the fairing wings that let more air hit me without causing quite a bit of rough air. If they were turned full out to block more air (winter riding?) they were just fine. I removed my Baker Wings and am perfectly happy. Hand/Mirror Wings that mount under the mirrors DO play very well with all Windbenders. They are the second best thing you can do for your passenger. Mirror Wings keep air from running under the riders armpits and slapping your passenger in the chin. you can also turn them at any angle for your desired amount of air without causing any turbulence. I gratefully accept all phone calls or emails with comments, concerns and product improvement ideas. Quickdraw, Mng Mbr Firecreek Accessories LLC. |

| Adding to my previous review, I recently had the opportunity for an extended ride with a passenger. Virtually no wind noise on the headset microphones even though my passenger wore an open face helmet. I have a Mic Mute system that I won't be installing now. What a great windshield. |

Definitely quieter behind this windshield
| Pretty easy install and I can actually hear my sound system better with much less wind noise getting into my helmet. After initial installation I was concerned about the slight distortion looking through the windshield close to the top lip where the windshield curves back forward. But since you look over this windshield, not through it, you soon get used to ignoring that distorted strip. My wife even agrees that the wind at the passenger seat is much calmer. |

| I Like this windshield better than any other that I have tried. It looks great on the bike makes it look much more sporty, I have received many compliments on the bike since installing it. Does a good job of deflecting the wind and during most weather conditions looking over the windshield improves my vision. The only negative is during rain. It does not deflect the rain from your face, resulting in the need for a full face shield, and ultimately a wetter ride. |

| Can't agree with the others 100%. I've run this for about 600 miles now. Adjustment made "per instructions". I enjoyed it the first 500 miles. UNTIL. It warmed up, and I opened my Baker wings. The c**kpit turbulence was terrible. Apparently it disturbs the Windbender airflow concept. This should be addressed by the manufacturer with that notation or "warning". No way I can tolerate this in warm weather. It's coming off and another Tulsa tinted will go on. Thus my opinion is it deserves no more than a rate of "2". |

| I've also had this on my '09 for a ful season now (installed in mid May) and have just about 6000 miles behind it. Huge improvement in buffeting control, especially for my wife on the back. Thought I might miss the center vent on the stock shield in high heat, but with the adjustability and the split screen desigh, they're very comfortable with airflow. Look good too; I opted for the medium smoke to go with the mesquite colour of my bike. I have the electric adjuster but not installed yet as I haven't 100% decided on my final position for the lower section of the screen (winter project likely). |

| Installed on 2012 ABS GL1800. I'm adding this info for those that have a 2012 and were wondering what will fit. I will review 27 items that I installed on my 2012. The install went perfectly and I prefer this ws over the stock or F4+4 (tried both). Highly recommend. |

| I purchased the HPS with the electrical option this passed winter. January I think. It's a great feature to be able to see over the windscreen and it leaves a very calm envelope. Can't believe it works so well. Gets some turbulence in higher speeds but that is taken care of by raise the windscreen. I also purchased the ST for long rides on freeways. I use that one when me and my wife do longer trips. That one you look through. I don't like that but the ride is very comfortable on those "transportation roads". These windscreens deliver a lot of options that a stock windshield would never have a chance in diversity here. Feel like taking a fast sporty weekend with your friends on twisty roads: Use the HPS. Feel like a stretch on the Freeway to a distant attraction: Take the ST. Buy one. You won't be disappointed. |
