Cross Bones detachable windsheild
Any opinions on the detachable windscreen for the cross bones...know hd makes two...would like to know how they look and does the hardware blend well with the bike....have a 07 Ultra and having a hard time getting used to the wind...but don't want to screw up the look of the bike.

RE: Cross Bones detachable windsheild
I got the taller windshield and like it very well. My opinion has always been, if you are going to run a windshield then get the biggest most effective one you can. The windshield is in perfect alignment with the front end and sitting on the tractor seat I look over the windshield, but it is tall enough that I can duck under it during rainstorms. Also it being taller, I like how it is tapered at the top vs the shorter one that is more cut off. The bracket is chrome, but is not distracting because of the chrome springs and shock of the springer front end. If you wanted to get it powdercoated gloss black, my local shop quoted me about $20. If you install it yourself, be aware that the instructions were modified in March 08 to change the mounting points for the throttle cable guides, which if you follow the instructions supplied with the kit, they will hit the tank when turning the handlebars full right. If interested I can email you the pdf file..just email me at tnharley@comcast.net. I have attached some pics of the windshield on the XBones.

i have the 9" and it is tinted (lightly) i will add pics as soon as i finish with upgrades that i am working with. if you do alot of highway riding, like myself the shield is a life saver (bugs,rain, and most of all wind). i do not feel i detracts from the look of the bike. the hardware is chrome, but its hard to see. i love mine

RE: Cross Bones detachable windsheild
if i had the bones I'd be getting the windshield bags etc just like my heritage - for the missus on longer trips .... doesn;t mean that I use it all the time - in fact the opposite.
