So I took the barn door off and got something I think is a nice compromise for the looks of the bike as well as decent wind protection at interstate speeds it's the Puig 5920H with deflector $154 off amazon.

Looks very nice.

But how does it look overall on the whole bike? Big bike, big wind screen.

That addition would be nice. Did they have a screen for the IS too?

If the barn door was an OEM one, take care of it, the hardware
is unobtainium...

I don't believe it was OEM

I think overall it looks great because it gives you almost a naked look. As for the IS model I don't think they have a full screen available but they have a clip on deflector that would work with the fairing.

Looks great. But, how does it work compared to the big one? I'm riding without mine now, but early and late in the season it gets cold here and I need something to keep the wind off.

I rode it today and with a full face helmet at interstate speed it was nice, but I'll have to report back when the temps drop...

Dad.. that's a Valkyrie specific fit design? How well does it work?
I have always found cruiser bike windshields a challenge with turbulence.
I prefer my bike with out a shield but it would be nice to have something that is good for trips. Ez on and ez off.

It's a universal model. Two clamps on and off less than 5 minutes. I also like the Valk sans windshield but need something for the superslab.
