Default FXDF Fat Bob windshield question

Has anyone tried the Slip Streamer Spitfire windshield on their Fat Bob?
Its the only windshield I have found with an affordable price at $70.99
And it has good reviews on Motorcycle Superstore.
Here's a link http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...ire-windshield

Thanks in advance

I have a windstream and love it but they aren't inexpensive.
That one your looking at looks like it it's squared off light area would look OK with the Fatbobs dual lights if you get it down low enough to wrap around them.
You would still get enough of a windbreak so that you don't have to ride with a death grip when running 75-80mph

Might want to take a look at this screen. It's what I use on my 2012 FB and it works pretty well. Good luck.

How did that fit around your headlights?

The screen is angled up quite a bit in order to prevent wind buffeting so the headlights are not an issue. Here are a couple of shots that may help. Keep in mind with any of the smaller screens, vests, etc., buffeting is the biggest problem and the only solution is having the screen as high as possible so the wind flows over your head/helmet. Windvest also makes a nice product but they are expensive.

I got a great deal on a HD shield...thanks skidder... and have to say i am very happy with both the quick attach/detach feature and the protection, with out it my lid started wanting to eject at 100km, with it 160km is still comfortable...have not tried any faster yet....
