And, I wasn't tone deaf at each stop from the wind tunnel effect on my ears with my half helmet. For a long ride with my 16" apes, it was well worth the effort to make my Nostalgia windshield work!
Looks great! I thought of picking up a Nostalgia windshield just because it looks better than the 'cop' windshield that comes with the Heritage. Next time I have $400 I don't know what to do with...

Back in the 70s I took a flat piece of plexiglass and bolted it to the apes I had with 4 clamps. Slight curve across the top and you couldn't tell it was on there.
