I have a Slipstreamer Spitfire and the quality seems to be fine. The installation was easy, and it adjusts fairly easily too. When I first installed it, I would get a gush of wind from bigger trucks as I passed them and my face shield would fly up (3/4 helmet). But once I got it adjusted, it has made a big positive difference, especially in colder weather.

Windshield's also extend the riding season for those of us in the colder regions.

Same here. Snow on the ground with more comng tomorrow and temps in the 20's and 30's. I think I'm done for a while, unless I load the bike on the back of the truck and head south for a week in January. That's starting to sound like a good idea.

U need a U-Haul. That would solve the snow problem for years
