If I had one I'd probably love it!!  It's on my "someday" list.

I put one on a month ago. Lots of teething problems getting
the fairing to line up, sit right. Somewhat a PITA.

If you got a tourer, you have to pull out the two upper windshield
mounts. Then the upper two MS mounts gotta go to the very top
of the forks, ya line up the bottom two by sliding them up into place.

When it's all lined up, you find the fairing is tilted too low, why?,
it's that dod gamn plastic piece that is supposed to sit on the
headlight. That piece is a real nuisance, with it there the fairing
is too low, you get too much wind up yer nose.
So, last week I got some courage and screwdrivered the thing off
the fairing, was then able to angle the batwing up enough that it now
deflects as much air as the oem windshield. It now looks damn good,
and rides well, a good purchase.

Maybe a little more air around yer middle than the windshield,
but otherwise, I like it.    csj

I just put one on my 99 Tourer.  Installed the 12" shield, and lowers.  I had to trim the lowers to fit with my Rivco light bar.  It was more time consuming than I thought, but I was not in any hurry.  I still need to do a few minor adjustments but I think it looks great and seems to block about the same as the OEM shield.  Definately more hand protection in this cold weather (26 dergrees this morning).
