I just returned fron a 4,500 mile trip through 10 states. The Tulsa shield has to go. The only (pro) for this shieldis that it is very nice sitting behind, really cuts down buffeting on rider and passenger. On a dry day on the highway it is great.

Cons:

1) Acts like a sail in the wind. More buffeting of the bike.I could live with that though.

2) The reflection from the dash (caused by the extreme rake) causes vision confusion riding through the mountain twisties when there is a combination of sunlight and shadows from the trees across the road. Very dangerous.

3) I didn't ride through a hard rain butlight rain a couple of times and the drops just sit there making it difficult to see through. Not safe in the mountains. Probably impossible at night. A hard rain has to be even worse. Need to be able to see over.

So long Tulsa.

As stated in the first post, the only time the reflection bothered me was going into a curve with sun and shadows from the treesacross the roadway but that is a very critical area. Not a time for visibility problems. In other conditions the reflection isn't a problem.
