I have my roll bars covered right now with my windscreen...so I am curious is wind still blows in with just the center piece covered. I have my seat pushed up a bit, so the head rest does not cover the roll bar section.
I like the look, however! Nice touch!
I won't say it's difficult to do, but you do have to feel comfortable pulling wire to the trunk, and pulling out some fasteners to get to the back lights. I was lucky in that the guys installing my phatbox pulled the wiring for me while pulling the wiring for the phatbox, and I got some very helpful guidance from Frank to tap into for power. If your hubby is not comfortable with this type of work, I would just take it to a shop and have them do it for you. The switch is not a big deal to connect. It's only a few $$. I think you can order it with the screen, but for significant more money. You could buy one at Radio Shack, or Home Depot for $3 - $4. You might just want to have your shop do it.
As to the wind, I didn't have one like yours, so it's hard to do a comparison. It does help a bit with the wind coming from behind. I just took it for a nice ride with the top off. First time since last October. Nice, very nice.
