I installed a Klock Werks 16" tinted windshield on the Death Star this afternoon. I was surprised at how fast it came considering I put in the order on Monday. The UPS man was at my door around 3 this afternoon so I wasted no time in putting it on the bike. The install was quick since I've done it a couple times now having removed the Cee Bailey's 11" dark shield which I then replaced with the OEM tall shield which I believe is a 19" shiel. The tall stock shield just doesn't have the right look for the bike. It does function well and the vent is nice to have on really hot days. However, I want something that matches the attitude of the 6 while still maintaining its function. After reviewing my options I landed on the KW 16" unit which is new for this riding season. I took the bike out despite the pending rain because I wanted to feel how the air moves over the shield. After my initial 20 minute shake down I'm pleased to report that it is much improved over the stock shield. Time will tell if I can withstand the wind at highway speeds but around town it is very pleasant. Also it goes without saying that it looks MUCH better compared with the OEM tall shield. See below for comparison. 1. OEM stock 2. OEM tall w/vent 3. Klock Werks 16" Flare windshield
