I didn't see this thread before mounting my new Sport Screen tonight... replacing my BMW sport screen, same as Hooligan. I went for a 200 mile ride and noticed some distinct differences. 1st off I really liked the reduced wind on my chest, and unlike Hooligan I experienced much less buffeting - though wind noise was much louder. The airstream was directly on my visor (Shoei RF1000) and as it was dusk... I had more bugs on my visor than I've ever had.

A few miles of freeway blasting was it's bright spot for me, and i was actually looking for something to use in the winter. What was odd, though, and haven't seen it mentioned - I felt a LOT more air around the tank, cooling my legs much more than than usual. Might not be so good for winter after all :shock: For what it's worth: I'm 5'10" on a standard comfort seat 2011.

I'll keep it on for a bit - see how it goes for a week or so and make my mind up. There might be 2 of these in the flea market soon :lol:
