To me, it is the most effective windsheild I have ever used on a cruiser. Airflow is smooth just above your shoulders with very little buffetting. This improved when I added the HD drags bars as I leaned in a little more. IMHO it even looks good. I was going to take it off for warmer weather, but I think it is staying on as I like to ride 80+ and it keeps me from having to hang on.
