Windshield for 2010 deluxe
Wife just got her new ride. Would like to add a quick-release windshield. She is only 5'3" and would prefer a short windshield. The HD ones seem pretty tall. Any recommendations for alternatives would be appreciated.

Memphis Shades.
Or get an HD one cut down to whatever height you want. I got one off E-bay, that was a smoked 19" cut down to 15". Looks great. Hate windshields though, I only use it in the colder months to cut down on breeze...

I'd also recommend doing the cut down. However...let her use it tall for a bit and see how she likes it? My wife has the detachable on her Deluxe and hasn't wanted it cut down as yet. She doesn't mind looking through it. More protection from stones and crud. Just keep it in nice shape and you don't even notice that you're looking through it.

Memphis shades, first one I had was 14 inches, the wind hit me right in the eyes, went to 19 inch and all is fine. Once you cut it too short it's too late.

I read that looking through was Ok as long as your line of vision wasn't right at windshield height. Just have to keep it clean. I look through mine and don't mind no bugs in the face. The ones that get by the windshield ricochet off the top of my helmet. You may want to check out the chrome fork wind deflectors. Stopped the wind from blowing up in my face from down lower.
