Just threw mine on yesterday, and holy crap! Did I just buy a new bike? It rides like a completely different machine. My comfort quotient went up 100 fold, and the beautiful is that if I want a lot of wind, I move my knees out from the tank, and if I want to cut it off, I move my knees close to the tank. I can still reach my shifter / brake easily, and this product has answered my question as to whether or not an inch can really make that big of a difference! (that's what she said...) Best $$ for $$ mod ever...
