[QUOTE="FJRMaineiac, post: 1448051, member: 1061"] Well, after ~18 years of riding with a Laminar Lip on my Gen1, a stiff gust of wind (and perhaps exuberant traveling velocity) ripped it off my windscreen yesterday on the highway. I searched for a place to double back, but in the northern reaches of I-95 in Northern Maine, those opportunities are few and far between. I was also riding with my son on his IBA SS1000 attempt and didn't want to impact his ability to finish on time, so I left it where it fell. Now I am looking for a replacement. The Laminar Lip doesn't appear to be offered anywhere convenient these days, and with my original windscreen yellowed and having that sandblasted look (not really sandblasted - the defects are inside the plastic, not on the surface), I decided to give the V-Stream a try. I just pulled the trigger on the 20.5" model - I hope I chose wisely. The 22.5" one just seems like it would be too big and would not have any air flow for cooling in the summer. Did I make the right choice? I am a 6' tall rider and found the stock screen with Laminar Lip (adding 3" - 4") just about right. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
