  1. MRA X-Creen Sport model [span] I[/span]t's surprisingly effective on the FJ. I am 5'10" using an Arai RX-Q with the stock seat and the air just barely grazes the top of my head with no head-shaking turbulence(highest setting). If I was a couple inches shorter I would be in the dead quiet zone, however I think it's perfect if you're still wanting air to enter your helmet's top vents. I've crusied at about 80MPH and it shakes a little but nothing to indicate that its too flimsy. If you're sensitive to wind noise, I'd say <60MPH you would probably be comfortable with no earplugs. Kouba ME-2 mirror extenders are also featured. http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u415/hoppygearhead/2CB3A3E6-0744-4120-A442-DA0BF346FAB6_zpstfurqjao.jpg http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u415/hoppygearhead/712A7A61-1EAF-4B05-90AA-B9D90327ECB3_zpsm5un5brl.jpg
  2. Doh, I've been meaning to post about that shield. Yes, that is the Sport model and it's surprisingly effective on the FJ. I am 5'10" using an Arai RX-Q with the stock seat and the air just barely grazes the top of my head with no head-shaking turbulence, and I am REALLY picky about that. I'd say if I was just a couple inches shorter I would be in the dead quiet zone, however I think it's perfect if you're still wanting air to enter your helmet's top vents. I've cruised at about 80MPH and it shakes a little but nothing to indicate that its too flimsy. I'd say under 60MPH you would probably be comfortable with no earplugs, if noise is an issue. Oh, also I am still looking over the shield and not through it.
  3. Heh, thats a bit of a stretch. Yes, I'm from the US and had to google that person.
  4. Here's the Kouba ME-2 2" Mirror extensions. They only have one version as of this posting in Aluminum and Black. They fit perfectly, just make sure to blow out any debris that could be laying in the threads. I just used the folded construction paper that was part of the packaging to protect the finish while snugging it up with a pair of pliers. Here's some pics… hopefully they show up since this is my first photo post.. UPDATE: These extenders did raise the air turbulence from the mirrors to helmet level. I'm 5'10" and these with the windshield combo made it too annoying and thus I had to remove the extenders. http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u415/hoppygearhead/B15EB95D-C4E2-4B82-B55F-B4C99C0FD3A3_zpszy8xqtrp.jpg http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u415/hoppygearhead/712A7A61-1EAF-4B05-90AA-B9D90327ECB3_zpsm5un5brl.jpg
