on my 2008 heritage,i went with the 15 inch memphas... bolts right on your frame for current shield.... cyclespot was cheapest .

 

Joedirte...love that screen name! I have a standard with mini-apes and have been trying to get a good windshield setup for the past year. First I trieda HD detachable but didn't like it, too big, too much updraft, felt like I was ridin a bagger.

I was given a windvest with a 14" windshield and it made an incredible difference although I was still getting some buffeting on my face. I called windvest and they said my windshield was too short and that I needed a 16". I tried to go cheapbut cracked the 14" when Itried to drill holes to make it taller, ended up ordering the 16". Life is sweet now, I did a 200 mile test Sunday, no wind pounding on my chest, very little wind on my face, no problems with sunglasses leaking,arms and hands don't get tired pulling against the wind and best of all I can hear mypipes at 80MPH just like I am standing next to it. I have the clear windshieldand when I look at the bike I dont' even notice it anymore, it is not nearly as noticeable as the big shields with all the metal framework. They are a little spendy but well worth it in my opinion. I am seeinga lot of bikes with them now. I am going on a run to Phoenix next weekend andI am so glad Igot this windshield thing solved. Hope this helps, good luck.

I love the Windvest on my bike. It's the 14" model. I have to say I also like the looks of it. I'm not a big fan of windshields, but the Windvest isn't bulky and it flows with the lines of the bike. It blends with the bike much better than any other windshield. Also, the design of the Windvest allows it to be smaller than other windshields. The lip at the top directs the wind right over your head. It allows just enough wind to blow across your body to let you still enjoy the feeling of being on a motorcycle, rather than in a car. I highly recommend it.

 

Live2Ride,
Do you experience any under the windshield helmet buffeting using the Windvest? Also, what size apes are you running on your custom?
Thanks,
Jack
