Not yet! I bought it for myself but the wife needed to get me something for Christmas so she wrapped it soon as it arrived! I would have been pretty pissed if I did not have two young girls at home that have to watch dad open something Christmas morning. Will post when installed though!

Blacked, no visibility but I don't tuck enough to worry about that I was clearly looking for appearance and deflection

After a year of use, I realized that there is no concern for visibility... The dark smoked look is, well just for looks. I personally like the dark smoked double bubble look for whatever reason and am very happy with my purchase.

HOWEVER, if you are going to end up running a GoPro or some form of sports camera, it will not have a clear picture (naturally) if you mount it on the gas tank. That is only drawback I have experienced.

Yes, very true! I do mount my Go-Pro on the tank once in a while but also have one mounted to the side of the bike.

Oh, and see sig!! Pass it on!

You can mount it on your helmet too.

unfortunatly in some states, if not all, in america it is deemed illegal to have anything bigger than 5mm in size attached to your helmet.
i dont think it matters if it will break off if you happen to impact with your helmet. silly freaking laws.

I already have an SMH10 attached to the helmet. I don't need anything else.
