The Memphis Shade is indeed a quality product. Replaced the windshield on my '03 Fatboy with the tinted model and used the original brackets. Took awhile to get the brackets off but the holes lined up prefectly with the Memphis Shade and it looked great.

Had mine for over a year. No problems and it cleans easy with Behold spray wax. Just cleaned the bugs off from an afternoon ride thru the pines.

I've owned both the HD and Memphis Shade windshields - I'd take the quality of the Memphis Shades any day over the HD product. Memphis Shades are a very good quality product with superb customer service backing it up. One of my Memphis Shades cracked at a screw hole due to me tightening up to much - called Memphis Shades, told them what I did and they send me a free replacement windshield at no charge. Gotta love companies like that - try going back to your HD dealership and see what they would do and say.

I had a Mem Shade on a 2004 VTX 1800 that I owned. When I traded that bike for a '05 Road King Classic, I found that the stock w/s on the Road King was 1,000% better in every respect.

+ 1 to jag1886: Did the same thing on both a Sportster Roadster and a Road King Classic. The plastic portion of the Memphis Shades is MUCH better quality than the H-D product. Warm your H-D windshield in the sun or with a hair dryer and use a sharpened piece of plastic to peel off the H-D metal straps. Bolts right back up on the Memphis Shades replacement windshield. As said; 'best of both worlds'.' ................ BC
