I have the CeeBailey on my RT and really like it.
I've got an aeroflow which I like. Found it on ebay or some such and had to make my own brackets. I've had it for almost 50K miles and there are a few small cracks from where the bolts go through but otherwise nice protection.

I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left!
#2 the Cee shields are the best...get a color tint that goes with the bike shade.
It is the coolest.

I have a CB #2 + 4 1/2 euro cut light grey, looks great on my Titan Silver RT.

I had a CB #2 euro cut w/a light grey tint. It was 5" over stock. When I sold the bike, the new owner loved it too.

I have a Cee Bailey (in the house) but I prefer riding with the Ztechnik on my 1100.

I had the Grey #2 on my RT. I liked it very much. It deflected the airflow over my helmet while seeing over the windshield. Yes, just four screws. FWIW, I tried the Ztechnik on the RT. I believe it is very well made. Very strong, but I felt it allowed more turbulence. I opted for the #2. That being said, this is a subjective area. You may find many who prefer the Ztechnik to the CB.

I was very happy with the Aeroflow on my 1100RT. Better protection from wind, rain, & flying dust, even in a lower position than with the stock windshield. Their little flip-up at the top helps a lot.

I bought a Cee Bailey from a member here for my 2000RT. Euro cut w/slight gray tint. I`m not sure the size but I like it. It`s definitely taller than the stock because when I raise it to the max I look thru it.
question: when the stock shield is down all the way , i love the airflow etc.
with the # 2 will you still get max airflow? I sit on bike with the highest seat position, etc. (I'm 5' 10").
The shortest Cee Bailey #2 is +2.5" over stock. That one gives plenty of air. You can tape some cardboard on the top of your stock shield at various heights and sit on the bike to see what height is best for you.

I'm 6'4" and have a CB euro +4 1/2. It's better than stock overall, which was way too short for me, but I seem to get more turbulence behind the CB than I did with the stock nearly all the way up.
I was thinking I would try the Z this year.
