Default Tombstone windscreen

Well, I needed something to get the wind off my chest while riding but didn't want something really big. I have had a chance to ride with it yet so I may find it needs some adjustments. It was only $60 so if it doesn't work very well I'm not out too much money. I like the looks and I keeps the lines of the bike. Hopefully it will be a good screen. The good, the bad?

Been looking for something like that myself... looks real good. What brand/model? How easy is it to take off? Did you ride with it yet? What are your impressions? -Thanks for sharing.

It's a Slipstreamer. So far it's not too bad. I haven't found a great adjustment for it yet. Easy to get on and off once you get the bar clamps set where you want them it just two thumb screws to get it off. I still have a little bit of buffeting but only when it is really windy out. I will continue to mess with it until I find it's sweet spot.

May not work with drag bars. I don't think the support bars are long enought to clear the headlight. You may want to look at something like this http://www.jpcycles.com/product/750-493 or this http://www.jpcycles.com/product/752-081.
