Come gather around ,I must expound on the wonderous experience while getting my "Big Shot" windscreen from our very own Fast Eddy.
I had been looking at getting a Screen for awhile. Reading posts watching the reviews. I read Fast Eddy's review on the "alley cat". As I sat at my screen I realized if anyone could answer my questions and deal with the ton of emails, He should be able.

Well let me tell you !!! not only were his responses informative but he also took you time and Effort to send me all the possible items that would suit my needs.
The service was excellent!!!

Now on to the install!!
I ripped into the box like a kid at Xmas, I was amazed at the simple instructions and proceeded to grab coffee and set to the task. The nistall was honestly quick and easy. The screen mounts assembled easily. The bike mounts well that confused me for about 10 mins. After grabbing more coffee I was able to figure it out and TA DA the screen was on. After minor adjustment to set the right level, I was off for a ride.

The Big shot did everything I wanted it to. Which was to block the wind from my face and Chest. I was actually able to hear things, instead of the rush of the wind thru my helmet. It was stable at highway speeds{ 60 -80 } I think the screen is great for anyone who wants a simple screen. The Big shot is 2-3 inches taller and wider than the Alley cat.

Ok, I've bored you enough.
Be safe,
Tom {elfwolf}


I do not ask for a fair life, only a Just one.

Yes I agree Eddie is the man, I went with an Alley Cat and I being 6-4 should have gone with the Big Shot. Eddie answered every question openly and honestly, and I made the call for the Alley Cat. It mostly works but again the Big Shot is for someone my size, good thing about it is the same mounting hardware is used for both. So I will be ordering a Big Shot from Eddie and keeping the Alley Cat for when I get a new bike and give my girlfriend my America.
I cannot say enough about the time and effor Eddie puts into helping us all out, if it were not for him I would still be trying to make a decision. I think the Big Shot will get rid of the head tremmors at speeds over 60. So many miles to ride so many places to go.

Is this another praise Eddy post? Well all I can say is I never bought anything from him but he has been helpful and forth comming with purchase questions I had. Also answered right away and offered some info in PM when I hadn't even asked that also helped. Seems like a good guy.

Don't put me on a pedestal just because I have that little 'M' next to my name. I'm only human.
