Default just ordered a different windshield......

and I am prepared to be disappointed. Already tried the hd shield and it sucked. I currently have the memphis shades del rio 15" and I needed some more protection from the bugs, so I went with the 19" el paso shield. I had the 17" shield and sold it because buffeting was a joke. The del rio is a pretty good shield but it leaves my face exposed. Does anyone have the 19" el paso? Hope to have it by mid week to test it out. I will post pics also.

I took my hd shield and kick the bottom of the shield out 1".
I had to raise the tank 2" so the air will flowunder the tank.
Then stuff the wind shield with a leather bag with stuff to keep the air out.

I think harley davidson did people wrong by selling something like that.
