Thumbs up. Great quality and customer service. Great prices (they have a bunch of sales). I’m on my third from them, I keep trying their new products as they come out. The windshield on my sig pic is a flat top recurve. I’m 6’3" and it keeps the wind off of me and my wife when she is on the back.

They are having a great sale right now. I’m thinking about ordering a Javelin to see how it looks.

Long Rider or Long Ride Shields (LRS)? Never heard of long rider. Have however had and have a bunch of LRS.

I like Their windshields. I have several. Tried the standard recurve, it was great. Tried the flat top & didn't care for it. It had to much wind resistance for Me. Now I'm rocking the Javelin. I prefer the Javelin. It provides great protection and feels like its slicing through the wind. Not just pushing it. Wait for one of Their many sales and get a great price.

I was on the fence about ordering the Javelin but after reading your post I pulled the trigger. Big sale going on now... under $60 with delivery included.

I’m 6’3” and I’m hoping that the 8” will be tall enough. I have the 10” flat top now and it is just about perfect.
