Default LRS Windshield -New windshield design help

I am trying to develop a windshield series for the soft tail bikes.

I have altered the road king windshield line to have a 7.5 inch cut out for the headlight instead of the larger 9.5 inch cut out for the RK.

I would sure appreciate seeing some pictures of your bikes and current windshield hardware so that I can verify my design as well as make sure that my bike will work with specific models.

Matt

Hey Matt. I wish you could make a shield that looks cool enough to put on a Fatboy Lo with beach bars. It would have to keep the old school look with flat black hardware. There isn't one shield out there that looks good on a Fatty in my opinion. I think lots of us guys would be interested . Thanks, Danny

how about a shorter than 17" shield for the softtail nostalgic shield they put on the Deluxe. For a bike that was supposed designed for those shorter in stature the MOCO blew it when it came to windshield height.

we have a 15 inch shield planned for the end of august.

Keep in touch and you can test it. I might be able to pull off a 15 inch shield now but it would have to be out of a tinted material.
