The new wind screen just arrived today. So I had to brave the frigid 55 degree weather [yes there was even a cloud!] to try it out.
Installation was [literally] a snap. The screen came with the mounting pegs already installed. It fit perfectly.
First impression is it looks great on the bike, I think it looks as good as the stock. Has a forward rake to it as you can see in the side photo.
Took it down the freeway at varying speeds up to 80 mph and the difference from stock is dramatic in my opinion. The wind blast is greatly reduced from your upper chest and even the shoulder area. I drew in some lines on the frontal picture to show the different area of protection. The orange line being the Cee Bailey screen.
The screen is also slightly noisier, as you would expect when you move turbulent air up closer to your helmet, but not bad. There is no buffeting at the helmet area at all. Keep in mind I am 6’3” so this will vary by the rider of course.
This is exactly what I was looking for in an aftermarket screen.
All in all a great job by Cee Bailey.

Great review. Now I am looking for a head to head comparison with the Buell extended screen. It's down to one of these two for me.

Great review but what's with the yellow bike?

I will get the first Buell +4 my dealer gets in. I will put in and give a review as soon as it gets here.

Bosh,
What's your inseam? Need to determine torso height for windshield choice for those of us that are relatively tall (5'11') WITH SHORT LEGS (30").

Thanks in Advance

I wear 34" inseam pants. I measured from the top of the seat to where I drew the ORANGE(E.G.)line and it's about 24-25" Hope this helps.
