Wow, that appears to be a direct rip-off/knock-off of MRA:
It's pretty close however it does not have the ugly rim around the outside.
I had one on my 2009, I bought the MRA screen and visor, it looks very different....
That bolt on one came with the shield.
The Chinese don't care anything about patents and who knows maybe these same people make them for MRA?
That is exactly why I won't buy from thieves. "Psst...hey Buddy....wanna buy a watch?" The chicoms are thieves and worse. To each his own but I'll do without if I can't afford to buy from a legitimate business.

Works very good and is adjustable in all planes (or is that plains?)
Good luck with that determination....
Like I said....to each his own.

Other than comparing a tinted MRA to a non tinted rip-off version I'm not clear on what you are referring to by an "ugly rim". I have a tinted MRA clamp on version
on my oem windshield an I'm not seeing an ugly rim but rather just a smooth rounded edge that is dark because of the tint. Even looking at your photos, all I see is the dark
edge that any tinted plastic would have....I'm really missing something here..(it's per usual for me )...but would you have them paint the edges white ?..or what exactly?

So it's ok to download a pdf of the overpriced FSM.Well that would be stealing right? I did not steal my visor. as a matter of fact i paid 20 bucks more than the price now
having installed and used the Laminar Lip product, since I bought my C14 in '07, which I bought used from someone, IIRC it cost me $30... I would say I have no issue with buying the China version like you got, for a low price, on EBay...
I think MRA could sell the product for half what they priced it at, and still reap a 200% profit margin, I'm tired of vendors making prices like they do, thinking they are "selling gold"... screw them.
at $200+ for a clear, they can munch my undies....

I think that price is for the whole shield and visor, however that shield is too small and you still get a lot of buffeting. Their bolt on visor is still over 100 bucks...
it's a free enterprise system, and capitalism has it's rewards...

That response was for Rich's benefit. But you paid for a ripped off copy? Is that so different?I had/have no idea it was a rip off, but I have to say that with that bead that runs all around I would rather have the one I bought.
