National Cycle F-15-- any feedback?

As a consequence of growing older and hopefully wiser, I've decided to forego some sporty looks for comfort when shopping for a replacement windshield for my GS.  It recently wore the Maier Cafe fairing until a few weeks ago.  While looking cool in that "late '70s cafe racer" kinda way, unfortunately it's thoroughly effective in deflecting windblast off my 5'8" torso and channeling it directly at the face shield of my helmet.  I've been perusing Rifle fairings with admiration, but my pocketbook dictates I seek a less pricey alternative.  I noticed this one on the National Cycle website:  http://shop.nationalcycle.com/perl/cycle/N2522?   I think it's a good compromise between a smaller F-16 or 18 and the barn-door touring style.  It maintains a sweptback, aero, sport-touring look with protection for the sit-up-and-beg riding position that favors my 47 year old body.  The price is right, too--  $104.99 from National, $84.99 from JC Whitney.  Has anybody had any experience with this? :cheers:
