Who's got one? How long have you had it? Do you like it? Is the mounting stable? |

I've got one that I use just for winter. Works great. In fact, if it wasn't so goofy looking, I'd use it year round! -Mike |

I was going to get one and opted for the Palmer bracket instead which lets some air in under it. Then I could screw with different shields. |

I have the Cal Sci and really like it. As already said it is a little funky looking, but really does a good job of breaking the wind, especially in the winter. |

When I bought my XT about 3 weeks ago, it was already outfitted with a Cal Sci screen. I like the coverage, but the buffeting for me is horrendous (I'm 5' 7"). It has been replaced with a short standard Uly screen until I can 1) Get the broken bolt out of the instrument housing, and 2) figure out a plan of attack for the buffeting. Morning temps are in the low 40's right now -- I really miss the coverage, but I don't miss the noise! |

I'm 6'4" and with the stock XT shield it's awful noisy. Doing the extended hand in front method, it seems like the height of the tall Cal Sci would be about right. I had questions about the durability of the mounting set up. (Message edited by frito on November 06, 2009) |

Starting my third winter with the Cal Sci. Mounting works well, but I recommend a bit of lightweight loctite on the screws. Still looks and works perfectly- no stress cracks or threading issues -Mike |

Traded in a Cee Bailey for a Cal Sci and have never looked back. Very stable, great wind deflection, no buffeting, quiet. Highly recommend the Cal Sci. |

at 5'8", couldn't stand the stock xt or x windscreen. went without until i got the palmer bracket's and he also sent me a taller prototype screen to go along with it and i love it. couldn't be happier. |
