Default just ordered a new windshield ........

and I am prepared to be disappointed. Already tried the hd shield and it sucked. I currently have the memphis shades del rio 15" and I needed some more protection from the bugs, so I went with the 19" el paso shield. I had the 17" shield and sold it because buffeting was a joke. The del rio is a pretty good shield but it leaves my face exposed. Does anyone have the 19" el paso? Hope to have it by mid week to test it out. I will post pics also.

Default RE: just ordered a new windshield ........

Wow, that will be one tall windshield...

It kinds of reminds me of the tall windshield I had on my Gold Wing back in the early 80's. It kept the wind out of my face but looked bizarre as hell. I'm interested in seeing your pic's when you post them...

Ride safe...

Whoops, I just went and visited your phone gallery and saw the kind of bike you'll be mounting that windshield on. Because you don't have a bike listed with your signature I assumed you had a bagger. Sorry. That new shield should look and work great on your scoot...
