Ordered it on 20 Mar. It shipped the next day and arrived on the 26th. Packing was EXCELLENT.
Everything needed was in the box: windshield, adapter plate, "robo-brackets", hardware, and instructions.
Installation is pretty straight forward. You replace the OEM windshield with the adapter plate. The bracket mounts to the plate and then finally the windshield. I decided to go with the lower set of holes on the OEM Honda bracket.
Had a little trouble installing the windshield on the brackets and thought they had screwed up with the holes in the windshield. Nah, I just needed to pull the tops of the brackets together some while threading the screws.
The adapter plate is big, but I like that it protects the instrument cluster from the elements.
I'm totally happy with the look. I think the larger windshield size helps balance out the "big butt" look of the E55 top case.
I just adjusted it according to the instructions at it's lowest setting and it seemed perfect. DISCLAIMER: I am a newbie with about 1000 miles on the bike. This is my first bike and the only windshield I've ever known was the stock fly version. But with OEM the wind was really harsh in either high or low configurations. My ride in to work today was great. The top of the windshield is about chin level and believe I'm in totally clean air. I was only able to get up to about 60 mph in heavy traffic, so was I having to concentrate on it more than the air flow. I'm looking forward to tweaking the setup this weekend and seeing how much wind noise reduction there is.
So far I consider this to be my best mod by far. The E55 top case is great, as is the fenda extenda and the hugger. But the windshield has made a huge difference in the quality of my riding. Can't wait for the ride home to see how it does.
