Purchased a 2007 FXSTC Softail Custom today. Upgraded intake and pipes, otherwise pretty much stock with the mini apes and Black Cherry Pearl/Pewter Pearl two tone paint. Great seller... (Typical of a Harley owner). He is storing it until the snow clears, which can't happen soon enough.

Been without a ride for 3 years, but was time to get back on the saddle. The style of the Standards and Customs has always worked for me. Yeah, a tourer would be nice, but my riding is 30 - 50 mph for 2 or 3 hours. Cruising on this bike will be perfect.

Question... Not opposed to a little comfort. Considering a full face helmet but at the same time It has a quick detach windshield. It is a little large as big or even bigger than the one on my buddies Fat Boy. I am not sure I want a windshield, unless it really suits the bike and is effective enough to use from time to time. If any standard or Custom owners have suggestions, put them out there, thanks. Will also be looking to pop the backrest off and find a solo seat. May go LePera but hard to beat Corbin.

I had a windshield on my last bike, a Dyna. It was a HD quick release compact. May even have had a light tint. Really suited that bike.

Can't wait to get it home.

 

Congrats on the bike!

I have a quick detach that I only use for long trips, a 3/4 helmet with shield, and a Mustang Seat.

 

Congratulations, but its not official until you post pictures!

 

Thanks! I've thought about the 3/4 helmets as well. Less claustrophobic. Gonna hit the dealer tomorrow and try a few. Still have my shorties til or if I find something else.

Is the windshield a HD product? I was just on the HD site and the compact I had on the Dyna was the taller one.

 

These are her summer and winter Outfits. Welcome to the club!
The batwing is a Memphis Shades.

 

Obviously my thoughts on what would or wouldn't work are wrong lol Looks amazing with the fairing. Great wheels too!

 

Thanks,
You may think about a windvest tombstone between the apes, like this one I use during summer. It works pretty good at freeway speeds.

 

Another good look. Maybe my bars aren't mini apes. Shorter than those. Trying to figure out how to get a picture in a reply on my iPhone.

 

This is the same batwing on my old dyna.
Also the only way I can post a pic from my phone is when I'm on the Full site not the mobile. Go figure.




Also the same saddle bags, with Edge brackets they are adjustable and they are in the J&P catalog.

 

I like that look...
