Looks like the same one he... had. Whether it was the off brand lip, the puig, or the sound barrier, all three were a bad combination.
To be fair, the spoiler held up great. Who knows the number of miles and the unspeakable speed atrocities that that puig had been subjected to before the spoiler was even applied.
I wish the Chinese would start making knockoffs of Cee Bailey windshields.

These are the ones I have on my CBF1000 and VFR..... dunno what jwilly's problem is...... these things do what MRA does only a whole heckuva lot cheaper. These days, I'm a believer in these rather than chasing/trying all the different windshields to find the one that annoys you the least.
Do you have a link for these? I have wanted to try out the MRA but it is a bit rich for an experiment. Currently using a Cee Bailey reverse flip. I also have a stock shield and a Vstream. I am fairly tall and I have not found any of these capable of providing a quiet pocket with low wind noise.
Is it the same as?

Very same... from China... note there are two sizes (widths) and 3 tints.... AliExpress will be direct to your mailbox. I expect you want the wider one. I have one of each, but the wider one works better. Very adjustable.

I found the direct AliExpress link, I think.

Even cheaper than through Ebay. I think it wider than the ones I linked as well. I assume you got the larger version that clips on rather than drilling through the windshield? Untinted?
I think I will give it a try. Says 15 to 35 days for delivery...
Thanks

There is no drilling, I wouldn't get that type. I have the 370mm wide one, it is the one you want. These days you are looking at a month for delivery due to decreased number of airplanes flying. Try this link, I ordered 2 @ U$8 each, on May 26, left China June 1, Canada Post is swamped but I've seen new stuff jump the cue and make it here sooner. Haven't found these cheaper anywhere else.

I already ordered the one in my post, above. A little more expensive at $23 CDN vs $14 CDN but shipping was $5 instead of $13.61 CDN - so about the same overall. Did not see the one you linked on their site. Only significant difference appears to be 360 mm vs 370 mm - don't think it will matter.
Cheap experiment to try and if it doesn't work or the quality is poor, I have spent less than the cost of a tank of gas.
