There's a couple of Tech Board threads regarding it.

I've had mine on all summer.  Rode to the OR coast and planning a trip in Sept to CO.  I'm happy with it.  The mounts are very solid.  It takes a bit to get them aligned.  The finish is great.   I had a guy in SC make me a 15" tall windshield for it. The one that came with it was well made but too short.  I called the company and they kept telling me a taller one was on the way.  I also drilled holes in the mounts and raised it an extra inch so it would line-up with my handlebars.  I sit high and have bars rather high.  I would buy it again.

I like it, good wind coverage and well built. 2700 mile around trip to Inzane and back. The 9" shield does a great job for me the 7" not as well.

Dos the fairing mount on Memphis Shades windshield mounts?     I like the looks of the fairing. Wonder if it will work with Sophie's light bar??

I don't have a Memphis Shade I have a TrikeShop fairing, which is similar in shape. Far as the windshields I did some testing. I had a 16" which was fine for blocking the wind, but I didn't like it at night because I got glare for on coming traffic. I then went to a 10" which was great all around, city and e-way and I could just look over the shield and see everything. I wanted something with some style so I bought a 6" and it looked great and was not bad on the road but totally sucked on the e-way 50+ mph. So then I took an old shield and made a 8" shield and it was much better then the 6" on the e-way, looked good and still worked on the e-way.
