Hey guys looking for some advice on fairings , first bike for my sis 2013 Iron 883 . She is doing great with it ! Would like to put a med size fairing or windshield for her , what do you guys run or have seen ?

 

My wife has a Compact Quick release on hers, loves it. Had one on mine until I put on running lights. So......I have a Compact Quick release windshield for sale!!!!

 

haha, sounds like you could get a deal on one already, well I'm going to try the harley clip on compact version. it should get here mid next week, I'll let you know what I think of it if you like and post a pic. I never could find a review of sporty windshields on YouTube.... so figured I would go with a full shield rather than a little fly screen which might not help as much as I want for highway or windy day riding which is all I want it for.

 

Just got my windshield in, $250 shipped for new looking HD quick release windshield, listed as 39mm narrow glide.... but it was a wide glide. Guy was super great and will refund postage to return, sucks as the thing is just beautiful and looks bran spankin new.

 

After returning the first windshield I ordered, I recently won an auction and received another windshield today that I like more anyways and it was a little cheaper at $212. Very few flaws in the plastic that are barely noticeable so very happy with it. The weather has been crap since I got home so can't test it out but I will update when I can test it out on the highway which is what I got it for. Here's a pic.



I also chopped my homemade sissy bar a little. I like it at this height a little more. Finally have some place to hang my helmet for a few when I take brakes.

 

How do you like that seat Airframer? That is a Renegade solo right? I've been interested in that seat for a while but I haven't been able to find any reviews on it.

 

That's the 48 seat that a lot of people get. It hurts my butt after about an hour of riding. I'm planning to put a gel insert into it and add a little high density foam on top of that and see how much it improves. For commuting it's plenty comfortable if you don't have to ride for an hour. They sell for about $90 to $100 on ebay.

 

Oh, my bad, I thought it was a Renegade solo. I guess my search for a review of it continues. Thanks anyway. Nice sissy bar by the way.

 

just done testing the windshield on the highway. At 70mph there is buffeting with my full face helmet but not enough to blur my vision and much less stressing than no windscreen. i think the buffeting might be a fault of my cheap helmet though. Not getting any wind on my chest or shoulders. oh and top of windshield is at about chin or nose height and I'm 5'9" tall.

at slower speeds when its cold out I have to keep my visor open or it fogs easily since it gets no airflow to the lower helmet vents.

clips on super fast and didn't need to move my cables but I went ahead and moved the clutch cable just to make it easier. important as I don't plan to keep it on, I'll be able to throw it on if I'm going to take a trip on the highway or riding at higher speeds on windy days.

one weird effect the windshield gives me is some how the front of the bike feels lower even though I know its not. just a mental thing I think.

very happy with it and recommend it for sure. still have yet to test with my half helmet.
