not quite what I expected, bought from Busters, 4 weeks waiting, and I actually ordered a violet/purple one. quite like it tho, think it sets off the bike nicely.
doesnt cut out the wind noise tho, but turbulence around my head is considerably less

White mirrors.
As for wind noise wear ear plugs. I found the opposite to Renegade, it took the wind blast over my missus' head so she was more comfortable.
