| Catching up on posts. Hope some find this useful.. Well I had have done a fair amount of reading on installing differnt shields. Finally, decided on trying the 7JuRock flip shield at a 15" height with grey tint. 120 plush shipping sounded REALLY good so I went for it not expecting a whole lot of improvement over an already great wind envelope. Drafting up this thread as a discussion on the 7JuRock shield ONLY not debating which shield is or could be better or worse. Comparison is fine but trying to collect other riders info/questions on a current thread to hopefully help someone else and give some good discussion about the shield. Before anyone post worthless without pics, I am posting them as soon as it quits raining and I can take them. Vendor: 7JuRock.com Price: Started at 100.00 Tint: +10.00 Flip: +10.00 Shipping: Fedex ground (5 day) about 27.00 (varies Im sure) Followup/status on order: Excellent also asking for feedback from me after installation and riding on how/what I like or would like to see improved. Packaging: Bubblewrap, paper packed in proper shipping carton labled glass. Also had instructions on cleaning. Shield replacing my stock 17.5" clear: 15" flip tinted grey Holes were drilled on the money with almost perfect contours to the vision mount brackets No tinting around Vision mounts like on stock shield Flip is very similar it appears to the KlockWerks but not as prodominent. Screen all the way down has LESS buffeting than my stock all the way down and this is confirmed by no goggles shaking at 85 this morning on the hwy. Screen all the way up is perfect for my line of vision at 5'9" stock suspension. My first 30 miles have been impressive, will add to this after a few more miles. Pics posted soon. Any questions or feedback about the shield, post them and lets dig into this. At 147 bucks out the door it seemed very good and the wind evelope is flat amazing. A few additional notes added: At 5'9" with the screen up my top of the shield as at the base of the car tires in front of me at about 2 car lengths. I do notice the distortion looking through the top of the flip at the 10 and 2 positions which can be a little wierd but it is a flip and the stock had its distortion points too. The light grey is PERFECT night or day and I do like how it tames the bright concrete pavement in full day light. So far, I got about 1200+ on the wind screen and have not had any problems. I had it up to 105mph (keeping up with traffic) with the shield full down wearing a shorty and was shocked that there was not a significant increase in buffetting moving in on me. Appearance.. I have had TONS of comments (even GoldWing riders) of how well it looks with the Vision lines. Absolutely best money spent and my biggest regret now is not doing it earlier in the winter whent I would have got even more benefit. Have NOT talked to anyone on the CB yet but can only imagine it is better because I hear much better stereo and the bike exhaust has deeper tones now I feel because I am not getting the wind blast in my shorty helmet. Look at these pics and if you need more let me know. Buffeting: This is my first flip I have ever had on. I did notice that behind a pickup or suv at 1.5 car lengths there is a weird buffeting I seem to get but switch lanes or drop back and it is gone. Also, full up there is a weird buffting sound that goes away by bumping the shield down about 1". Obviously that is changing the angle of the flip and covering a bit more at the bottom. I now ride with the shield in almost full down positions. Rain: Does VERY well in rain while lowered giving good deflection of light rain and drizzle and in heavier full up gives you a small area of protection to duck behind but easily pop over it to check the road. Heavy rain in a shorty was not the end of the world and light rain a breeze. Plexiglass durability: Slightly disappointed in the light swirling I noticed. May have been my fault I used a microfiber that had some contaminate on it but I don't think so. 7500 miles on the stock, no swirls using Bike Spirits as well as my TC. NOthing major, just nit picking it. IF anyone has questions feel free to ask. This has been an interesting first experiment and a VERY good compliment to the already superiour wind envelope of the VV.

| I have been riding with a "20 light tint Flip 7jurock for about 3 weeks now. As mentioned, the fit and finish on their windshields are impeccable. I have not noticed any swirl marks and do clean it after every ride. The manufacturer says to wipe in back-and-forth motions, not circular, to avoid swirls. I have noticed that the 'flip' tends to catch more bugs that would have passed over before. Since most of the time I am looking over the windshield, this isn't a problem, but when I do have it up, I am looking thru bug guts now. The distortion of the flip is not distracting when the windshield is up and your line of view is more straight thru. It is only distracting when the windshield is down and you are looking at objects close to the bike. Then the angle of view gives more distortion. As far as the measurements go, The top edge of the 20" Flip is 9.75" above the dash. Stock was 7.5". A non-flip 20" is about 9". So, by adding the flip, it makes the windshield .75" taller. Adding to that, the airflow is now higher and gives the equivalent of about another inch of height. In comparison to the Visions 17.75" stock, I find the 20" flip gives about the same wind protection down, as the stock gave fully up. So, adding the flip does make the windshield .75" taller to look thru, but gives about the equivalent of 3" of added windshield, which would have been 2" taller. FYI, 7Jurock has the windshields $60 off. Starting at $100 for a 13", add $5 for each inch, $10 for light tint, $20 for dark tint, no extra charge for flip. Mine was $145.

| I have the light tint as described on the website. Good points on there Nozzledog, I did NOT ask for a darker smoke but after speaking with them I am sure they would do it. I like the light tint as I have dark safety glasses so it gives good clarity into dusk before switching to my yellow shades. I would have no problem with the 15" and a dark smoke. ALso, I didnt ask as I seen the note from another rider too late but may also give a military 10%. As stated those prices make this an awsome addon. I have been paying close attention to all weather conditions and found very little to complain about. I agree about the bug splatter but hey. What you gonna do. I will say this on bugs though, windscreen down (remember I have the 15"  I seem to catch less bugs with the airflow more up and over now. Not the same for road debris as I found yesterday... (ouch) Still, no complaints. Swirls. Ok bad use of a word there, oval streaking (if that works), as Nozzledog also stated the instructions are clear. Side to side. I am going to say remove this comment from my write up as I really believe the microfiber towel I used had a contaminate on it that caused this. I took a better look last night and it did clean up when I applied my shield wax. So for anyone concerned, please disregard my note on this. As for 2up, here is what I have played with so far as I cannot seem to get anyone on the back for what ever reason. I have sat up on the forward part of the passanger seat wth the 15" up (as best as I can safely) and to me, feel less turbulance than the stock. As I told another rider, I think the 17" may cure some of the problems the pinion is feeling back there. Feels like less air back there. I did notice that there seems to be more space between me and them and thus I think they are catching more air as it wraps around. Another update: I was riding in EXTREMELY windy storm conditions yesterday and was using my full face with face shield up, wind screen full down. I cannot say how please I am with the performace as anyone knows face shield up your going to catch some crosswinds and whip your head around. Significantly reduced from last storm I rode in with stock shield and same helmet. Thanks to all for the comments and feed back you all provide on this site! It is great to have same model riders providing MONEY SAVING evaluations and tips on mods to our bikes. Good pics Nozzledog and great additional feedback on the 20" as I was curious about it myself!

| I just ordered the 16" light gray flip (DAMN this forum ). Being 5'6", with the OEM shield I was just looking over the top of the shield when it was lowered. This height should provide better line of sight and should also offer better protection in the full up position. I will report back once I've tested it out. | |||
