It's easy to view catalogs both online and paper back, but I'd rather see real pics instead. I need to get a shield and would appreciate pics if you got'em.

 

no pic of mine, but bought a HD quick detach one. takes a second to take on and off. get the biggest one they have! dont look that bad, and just take it off when you get there!

 

I have the same one. Works fine.

 

This is a Memphis Shades Elpaso, bottom 1/3 is black and fades to clear, I think it would look good on a train..........

 

Just get a 3/4 or full face helmet. That is all the windshield you need. The HD quick release runs about $450. They are nice, but you can find something similar for half the price. Google the crap of it.

 

I totally agree...at least on a night train.

 

A 3/4 or full helmet does nothing to reduce the wind blast on your chest, so no, not really a windshield replacement at all.

I use a 16" tinted Windvest, that does a decent job at keeping bugs and crap from hitting me in the face and cutting down on the blast at highway speeds. It also blocks rain, so that it doesn't feel like getting hit in the face by thousands of needles when I get caught in a downpour.

If you do nothing but barhop, don't waste the money on a windshield. If you plan on going on long trips, they make the ride far more comfortable, and you'll find you're much fresher when you get to where you're going.

 

True. I have done days of 500+ on the Train and a windshield would have been nice. I am a young guy so I figure I can take the beating. I get on my old mans RKC with the shield and it is a nice change (windshield wise, not the bike).

 

Putting a windshield on a Night Train is like putting a sweat suit on Angelina Jolie...

It might make her more warm and comfortable...

But WTF are you thinking?

 

You are what you eat my friend...........

I know most of you hate this but, it's cold right now and I need this little bit of "pussification" on my bike at least until spring....... [I'm a big eater ]
