OK, some info and pics.  I have the 2 piece Corbin seat, slip on 2 Bros "black series" pipe, Rigid Industries Dually 2s driving lights, and the brand new not yet released Cal Sci windshield.  You will see that it is considerably wider than the previous shields, 4-6 wider than OEM,  RAM mounts as well as a Tech mount. I have an aux fuel tank that for the pics I placed on the rear rack, but have not yet hard mounted it to the bike...thats an upcoming project.

The driving lights are fantastic, half the price of the Clearwater lights, very bright and cast a long beam.

Pics attached.

The pic of the shield is in the up position.  It is the standard large w/s for 2010 models and newer. The width is what makes this the "new" model.

 I was travelng back from palm springs and decided to drop by calsci office to p/u a shield. They offered me the new wider version, so i took it.

I was told the new version is due to be released on their website in a matter of weeks.

So far i like the shield.
