The first thing I did after I purchased my GS1100E was to install a Rifle Sport Fairing. The main purpose for this bike is highway and long trip use, and I wanted some protection from wind and weather. This is my evaluation of this product.
Fit and finish are very good.
It can be purchased in primer, black, or color coded for your bike. At the time I purchased mine, color coding was not available. I purchased mine in primer and took it to a professional painter. It probably matches better, since he had my body parts to match the paint.
It can be matched to your headlight shape; my bike has the very large round headlight.
Quite a bit of assembly is required. You get a box of parts and are expected to put it all together and install.
Mounting on the bike is a handful for one person, but can be done.
If you need to get into your headlight shell, you have to remove the fairing.
Mine had a faulty wire in the right turn signal. I had to run my own wires to fix it, since I did not want to return it for such a minor issue.
It vibrates slightly at speed (80+ mph).
It offers several windshield heights, a bonus to a tall person such as myself.
It does a good job of protecting the rider from wind and weather.
At $400, it is pretty expensive.
The 2 tiny storage pockets are not real useful, IMO.
Final opinion: A quality, though expensive, product.
