Was in the video
I now see 2500° under the Ultra Extreme.
That there is indeed the stuff!
Strange they don't post their location . . .
I’ve seen there work, it’s impressive and supposedly they stand behind it for a long time.
 
I did the fly screen extension mod today to my Roadster.

This gives you some extra space to put stuff and still get to the key.

It is not riding weather yet so i haven't tested it at high speeds but it feels solid and stable.

I only did a 1" spacer but 2" probably would have been better and still looked & functioned fine. I would also go with a larger diameter spacer for more stability for that length.

3" starts to push it out in front of the headlights and I'm sure more air would get in underneath.

If you want to do this mod at 1" here are the part numbers and cost for TWO Rockets from boltdepot.com :

When I bought my fly screen (2nd hand) it came with the mounting brackets, but not the parts that mount it to the forks.
I wasn't that keen on those stock mounts anyway, and didn't really like the way that the screen looked in that position, so I made up my own mounts.
I wanted the nose of the screen flush with the head lights.

And yes it is just fine at any speed that I've cared to travel at.
