Default Need Some Windshield help.

I'm looking to buy a windshield for my 2008 WG and can't seem to figure out what size I would need. I'm 5'7 if that helps. I'm tossing up Memphis Shades or even the Harley one just don't know what size to go to 17, 19, 21? I never rode with a shield so I'm kinda blind in this department. Thanks!

i have the 21 on my WG, and i absolutely love it. I guess it really doesnt matter whether you get the quick detatch or not - I've only taken mine off for cleaning since i put it on early this summer. but it does make it nice to slip it off in like 3 seconds. just decide whether or not you want to look over it, or through it. If you're 5'7" - you may be looking through a 21.

Default Thanks

I was thinking that the 21 would be too high. Would the 17 be too small to deflect the airstream over the helmet. I would hate to get it too small and get blasted in the face. Thanks for the help.

My Street Bob has the same mini apes as your Wide Glide and I have the 21 inch Memphis Shades Rio Grande windshield.

I have the harley quick release windshield on a 2008 superglide,the best thing about it is you can set it were you want it. on the front forks, bad weather put it up to the top nice weather put it down lower.really alot of adjustment.and easy to do just four clamps to move.

Check out the Memphis Shades Web site, they will give you instructions on orderiing the correct size. I have the Memphis Rio Grande and I like it, its big enough but not too big.
