I have the mediums and communicated with bandit already. I've been out of country for work so I am very behind on fun stuff. I just have to get a quote to ship them to Canada to him  :-\

Hi almightys, any word on shipping? I'm eagerly awaiting these to try them out. Like I said in our message exchange if there is a huge surcharge to send them across the border to me in Canada compared to domestic US I might be willing to pick up the difference. Let me know. Thanks. I plan to try them for one week each and ship them along to the next person.

Rixtrix, almightys hasnt been online since June 13th and mentioned he's been travelling a lot. I haven't got the mediums yet..... but I wonder if I could queue jump! I'd be happy to get the large first!  :)

I am interested as I just bought my Connie a week again and the stock shield doesn't allow me to block enough air fully up. I love to listen to my Music through my Helmet and as a Patrol Officer who uses the bike I would like a little more air flow blocked to use the phone when needed.

To address a question a few posts ago,  windshields interchange from '08-'14.  I hear there is a difference in '15 mount but have not confirmed.


SMurphy....I can say the CalSci XL wide is very quiet and buffet free.  Also warm and [ugly-huge (IMO)].  But I love it in cold weather.

Yes the 15 is different and way sturdier then the previous years. There is a rumor that it works down to an 08 BUT is a cost of over 1,200 dollars. Just what I have heard. No real confirmation from me. But yes I am very interested I NEED a better windshield. I have those air buffers for the sides and just took them off today. Going to try it without. May get rid of them but not sure yet.

Just would like to humbly say I am still alive and waiting in the line.  Got the new tire on today, The injuries will heal, so she's ready  to put on some miles.  I found a shield I may put on 550 miles to (tr)buy if the guy still has it.

They are on their way as of Saturday-Holy......COW.... those were expensive to ship !!!! Keep in mind as previous postings have mentioned-the Cal Sci shield has a corner broken off(it is in the box) and a small crack under the vent. Must have been crushed in shipping at some point? But enjoy !

You had to pay an additional fee to receive them? I thought the international premium I paid would take care of that ! WOW!  Well-enjoy anyway ;D

I was surprised too. $36 for duty. Odd because it isn't a "purchase", but they just based it on the declared value. Still, shipping, duty, whatever.....still a pretty cheap way to try our three different shields!

I stripped a screw trying to get my original windshield off so had to order some new ones which should be in today hopefully. Stying wise....I prefer the Cee Bailey. Will post my thoughts after testing too.....

For me it was a toss-up between Cee Baily and Cal-sci. Think I'm going to opt for the Cee Baily's though as it is available in tints. Anybody with a Cee Baily's Ultra in dark tint reading this ?? If so -any pro's or cons ??
The Aero was the quietest for me when it was fully raised BUT it was THE NOISIEST in every other position.
