I really like this one. It depends on what you want to do. http://www.parabellum.com/

I've had them both.
Get the Cee Bailey if you want some protection and don't mind a bit of flimsyness.
Get the Parabellum if you want more protection and a sturdy fit.
Pros and cons for both. If I had my druthers I'd try and find something more in between, maybe that Spitfire that I've seen around.
The Cee Bailey gets moved fore and aft by the wind but believe it or not, actually offers a more secure ride around other vehicles like eighteen- wheelers, etc. The Parabellum catches more wind and turbulence than the Cee Bailey does.
The Parabellum beats the Cee Bailey hands down as far as weather and "bug" protection.
IMO, the Cee Bailey is better looking but the function makes the Parabellum at least as good if not better over all.
The Cee Bailey is less than 100 bucks shipped and the Parabellum is closer to 200 bucks shipped. A not insignificant difference.
Check my "Garage" for pics. I think I still have pics of both installations.

I've had the Spitfire and found it didn't offer much protection. Also it makes the air hit me right in the face making it noisy.

I just ordered the Parabellum. Does get cold here in Colorado in the winter. We'll see how this works out.
