LRS X-Stream Windshield Sale!!!

Honestly If I had to make a decision right now I'd go with the Recurve.
The X-Stream wins as far as looks and how it keeps the bike more stable (in my opinion anyway) but the main reason we have shields is to keep the wind and debris out of our face. And I fell the Recurve does a much better job with the reduction of buffeting and wind noise.

I recently picked up a 6" LRS with recurve over the holidays and finally got to try it last week (tough winter in northern colorado). The x-stream was not yet released, or I would have gone that route because I love the look. I'm very happy with the 6" recurve shield and LRS service has been great, but the teeth rattling buffeting continues. The shield is plenty tall for me (5'-10, 32" inseam, stock seat). All the turbulence seems to be coming from underneath. Now I'm looking at fairing air deflectors to help with the buffeting.
After almost taking a golf ball sized rock in the teeth while in my truck this morning and what could have happened had I'd been on my bike my "10 SG is for sale. The first $40k takes it so I can buy a "10 CVO Ultra Classic EG as it comes with a taller shield. And, yes, I've been drinking.

The x-stream is more of a performance shield. It's designed to reduce many of the negative effects experienced when riders take their stock shields between 60 and 90 mph. Simply put, it guides the slipstream away from you not only vertically, but laterally at these speeds. This considerably reduces (so long as it's properly fitted) what is widely referred to as buffeting. If anyone would like to learn more on the topic, the best place to start would be to check out von Karman vortices. Feel free to PM with any questions.
