just ordered the sport tourer from their outlet site, way cheaper than everywhere else i found, esp. if you decide to go for the factory seconds.

mods, if linking websites isn't allowed, please edit or delete the link.

$62 shipped for a clear sport tourer, $82 for the overstock smoked ones.

so i went for my first ride with the zero gravity ST windscreen and those CF windshield pole things. 

Verdict: SOOOO much nicer at highway speeds!  where i was getting battered around a lot at 80mph, it is much smoother upright and i don't have to tuck nearly as low to get below the screen if i want to go that route either.  The screen is barely bigger than stock when looking at it, but it makes a huge difference!

so far it's my favorite mod, as it really made riding much less fatiguing.

adding just the windshield stays to the stock windscreen didn't make much difference on the highway imo, regarding buffetting, but it did make it flex a lot less.  I think the combination of the taller screen & the stays are the winning combo!

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

that gives you an idea of the height difference, it's a bigger difference in the center, but it's a little less on the sides...
