Default Found a combo that works

Well as many of you know since I have sold them all on here, I have tried several shields to use on trips. I got several to work ok but never better than just wearing my full face.

Latest is HD quick detach brackets with a 17 inch Memphis Shades replacement screen and Memhpis shades lowers.

After alot of testing I got it down to very minimal buffeting up to 85+. After I got everything adjusted I came home and took the lowers off to see how much they made a difference. I took it back out the the difference was very noticeable so the lowers help alot. I could only mount the lowers the way I did because of my blinkers and I didnt want to move them.

This will only be on a few times a year for when I do a several day trip or when I need to make a run to St. Louis on the interstate but I think i found a keeper.

and I know windshields are for cars so you dont need to post it lol

A couple pics

Does having the lowers behind the forks work? I have them positioned the opposite of yours and I still get buffetting from under the tank but not as bad as without the lowers.

They work pretty good there but I figured they would work better if were mounted on the front. I couldnt mount them to the front without moving my signals so I didnt try it.

Windshields are for those of us who don't like bug lunch.
