Default Universal Windshields Photo Shoot

I thought I would share this with all you guys.

I met up with Jack Nicolay of New Castle Ca. this weekend to take some pictures of his bike with our prototype windshield for the Universal System.

Jack has offered to test the shields and because he is close to us here in reno we met up and went out for a while to take some pics.

Here are a few of my favorites.

This was also one of my favorites, Jack found this barn one day on his way home and had it in mind for taking some pics I thought it worked out well.

Very similar to the Wind Vest.

Nice... way to be a dick about it!

Seriously, is the Universal system a better option than the Flat Top (which, I've been thinking about)? I know that the last time I bought an X-Stream, within a few weeks you stopped selling them and came out with something new to take its place.

Bottom line: I'm a tall guy, FLHX, usually ride 2up, on my 5th windshield and am still not happy. The latest one (10" X-Stream DT10LRS) at highway speeds still has wind hitting the middle of my forehead. Seems like if it was 2" higher it would be perfect. What do you suggest? I don't want to buy another shield and then 2 weeks later you announce that you have something better.

Wow, seriously!? No response/recommendation at all from LRS?

In this economy, this kind of lackadaisical approach to someone who has already bought 2 windshields from the company just boggles my mind...

Geez, give the guy some time to respond. Not everyone hangs out on the forum 24/7.
