Hey guys, looking for ideas on turning this forty eight I got here, into my forty eight. I have a few options in mind but still figuring it all out.

Im getting some apes and was wondering what a quick release windshield would look like. The forty eight hasnt really struck me as a bike with a windshield, more of a nice flush fairing. If I get apes, I dont think i would like the look of a fairing, so Im playing with the idea of a windshield. Plus long trips are such a beating : /

If you got a forty eight with apes, please post your pics!!!

If you got a forty eight with a windshield, please post your pics!!!

If you got a forty eight with apes and a windshield, POST POST POST!!!

I have a lot I want to do to my bike, but im like a child who just entered an all you can eat candy store. My thoughts are so chaotic!

 

Thats the way I was after I first got it. I bought a lot of stuff that didnt stay on for very long. Slow down..........put some miles on her............look at all the pics on here and elsewhere. Then figure out a direction you want to go. Much cheaper that way.

 

12" Nash Gimps...or Grits...hell I dont remember. Don't get a windshield. I hear the toughest part about owning a Sportster with a windshield is having to tell your parents that you're gay.

 

LMAO. Im guessing windshields arent the best idea.

To OP, ive got about 15k on her so far, I have a few ideas I know are going to stick, but im still back and forth with the majority of whats going to be added to my bike.

We'll see where this adventure takes me. Thanks

 

I'm just giving you a tough time. Do whatever you please. I've just never seen a windshield that didn't look like it was just stuck on as an afterthought. If you need one to ride, so be it.

 

 

Not a full face guy. Although I was looking at 60's style open face helmets with shields. They remind me too much of those sophisticated dudes on those huge BMW bikes though.

 

Girlfriend has one.........I use the same on longer trips, 3/4 with shades otherwise.

 

Sorry to hijack....

Where did you get the grips from?

Thanks,
TD

 

I didn't figure you were worried about looking cool, I mean... you are the one inquiring about putting a windscreen on a 48? Im too pretty to have my face removed by the road, and the sooner I recover if I do get into an accident, the sooner I can get back to riding. to each their own, find what works for you and go get in the wind!!!
