Default Gladiator is on

There were a couple of people asking about the gladiator windshield from national cycle. UPS delivered mine yesterday and I put it on today. It was easy to put on and came with everything you need (but I have some riser extensions so I needed longer bolts). It uses the riser clamp bolts to hold it on and has two pivot points so there is a wide range of adjustment. The shape of it looks tough. I got the dark tint but it also comes in light tint.
I only took it out for a short run but it does a good job of blocking the wind from my chest and there was no buffetting like on my large windshield. I like it, it was worth the money.

Thank you for the pics and info. I'm one of the guys that was asking about the Gladiator. From what I can tell from your pics it looks better then most. After you get some hard miles on with it could you give us a up-date on how you like it? If you don't mind, could you give the dimensions for how wide and tall it is?...Thanks.

That is a good looking windshield. I could not find many reviews on the Gladiator when I was looking so I went with a 14" windvest. Maybe I should have waited....

I think it's ugly but that's just my opinion

yes I know windshields have their purpose and they aren't for looks

regardless thanks for the info
