Maybe it`s because I am used to the traditional small fairing look, but it looks very metric to me. I think it`s the up swooping top ridge line.

Wondering as well. Also, not bad to see over? Did you have to do anything special to mount it? Or was it straight forward?

it's different and I like that. Looks good on your bike as well. The brackets look a little flimsy compared to Memphis shades but they might be fine.

Is the fairing stable at highway speeds?

I'd like to have a mini cafe version for a multi-day interstate trip I may be taking from Colorado to Reno. Prob take some of the wind off of me.

Couple more pictures for reference, with the 11.5" rise bars.

The fairing is plenty stable & I was surprised with how rigidly it mounts. I can punch it pretty hard & it doesn't move. The windscreen itself shakes a bit at certain speeds, but is perfectly stable at other speeds. My buddy has a tall Rifle Fairing & didn't notice any unusual shaking of the fairing.

It's not my favorite to look thru, but I have to crouch down a good bit to have to look through it anyways, so I'm almost never looking through it unless it's super intentional.

Was the install straight forward? Any tips? In your first pics, are those stock bars and risers? Wanting to make sure the turn signals are gonna clear

Install was pretty straight forward & I think they've added installation instructions since I proto'd it for them. I initially had on the optional headlight bracket to push the light forward a good inch or two, made it sit less deep into the fairing. But once I installed the amazon special daymaker, the added weight on the cantilevered bracket made it vibrate too much for my liking, so back to the stock position it went.

The pictures on the first page are indeed the stock bars & risers. I had no fitment issues.

Thank you. Wind protection much better than stock FXDLS screen?
