Yeah I had to give in and tell her. Took her for a ride (finally) and she was complaining about how much wind was hitting her, so I had to break down and tell her that I actually have a taller screen we can try on the next ride. Oddly she didn't ask any heated questions. I think shes a keeper.

I am about to place my order.  I have read the previous posts, and I know it looks great, it is expensive, it takes a while to make, and significantly changes the riding experience with respect to wind.  I am six feet exactly, and I ride daily in Houston, which is about to get very hot.  I want something to help me cool off.  Everyone seems to be very happy.  Are there any concerns about the product itself i should know about?  Thanks in advance!

From the other thread, mine were mainly two concerns- about using risers (handlebar clearance) and the "stick on" nose thing (which is a bit strange; and only a concern if you plan on trying to switch back to a regular windscreen for when it is not hot).

Doggone it.  I ride all winter long even when the temps are in the high 30s and 40s.  I'll need the stocker back on there.  The post about the adhesive has caused me to really think about it.  I want to be able to go back stock in the winters.  Is there any other option to cool down?  Is there any way to make the copperdawg easily interchangeable?

I also want to be able to slip on the CB for those much longer rides i take each year.  Thanks for any help on the previous reply.

I run a Calsi large three seasons and a cut down stocker in the heat of the summer.

I don't have a pic right now . I cut four inches off and could have cut two more. I used a jigsaw and hand sanded the edges. I finished the edge with a propane torch. there are several done that way by the members here with pictures. A couple have been painted black on the inside for an excellent look. I'll see if I can find the thread.
