Default Kuryakyn airmaster touring on a roadglide

Anyone have one of these monster windshields on their bike? I'd like to see more pictures then the couple I can find on the net, and hear reviews from people who are about the same height as me (6'3"). Kinda pricey in my opinion and don't wanna be the first guy to buy it and find out its junk..
So far for me, looks like a 15 or 16" Cee Bailey Euro would be something I want, but really want to hear if anyone has one of these Kury's on their bike.

Thanks

I put one on my bike today. After a test ride in a 35 knot wind I came home and immediately cut 4" off the top. Now the top of it hits me at the tip of my nose and I can see over it. I didn't notice any more wind after cutting it down. I'm 6' and 31" inseam. Happy with it after I cut it down. The first pic is taped off to cut down. The second pic is the finished product. I cut it with a band saw and dressed it off with a file. Job took about 30 minutes. Perfect shield now. Ears don't flap or hurt, radio sounds good, limited wind.

I would like more info on this as well, I am 6'5" and have a Clearview +2 and it is OK but bad wind in the ears and it looks like a car windshield...

I've had mine on for a couple of weeks, and love this shield. The one part about it,.. it is a big tall windshield. I wouldn't suggest buying it, unless your 6'1" or taller unless you want to cut it down like Sancho did.

If you're 6'5" you may not have to cut it down. And, some people like looking through them. I don't. I knew when I bought it I would have to cut it down. I've heard mixed reviews on other shields and heard very little on the Kuryakyn to I took the chance. I like the looks and I get about the same wind as I did on my EG with an 8" shield. The shield has a slant which brings the top of the shield closer to you minimizing any turbulance.
