Ditto on the Windvest and I saw one over in the classifieds for a hundred fifty bucks.





Good Luck

I dont use mine much but its nice for a trip and when the temp is below 50.

Dont have many pics with it on so its a older pic but it is the Standard height I cut down about 3 inches. I still need to shape the sides some but wanted to make sure It was cut down enough before finishing up.



LoL not to be a smart azz but sir you just made yourself a Low profile windsheild from what I can see. Your not any taller than to two guys above you with the Memphis sheilds .

My comparison is between a HD compact low profile and a HD stanard. Mine cut down is stil 2 to 3 inchs taller than the compact low profile. The HD low profile is the sheild he was asking about and a windvest isnt a option for everyone because of how it mounts. A windvest would have no way to attach to my current bars.

I have the HD Compact on my scoot, comes up to mid chest on me. I get more air coming up and under the shield than I like, blows my beard up into my face.

Respects,
Ed
