Its solid.. Doesnt vibrate hardly at all.. The top is flared up.. it deflects most of the wind right over your brain bucket.. I get more wind from the head light cut out than anything.... I have a bullet style headlight which is pushed quite aways out.. Its kinda like a/c LOL
The quality is second to none.. Very durable and strong.. Watch the video on youtube about their products...[/QUOTE]
Ya I was on there site and they kick the livin crap out of those shields eh lol
So from a saftey standard its great but not sure of the look on my bike .
I have a big longated light as well,can ya snap a couple of pics of your bike and shield from a couple of angles??
At the end of the day i'll have to find a dealer hear so I can hold one up and see how she looks if ya say it doesn't vibrate like mine then it might be the one !

Windshield pics ???
Well, I as of this moment I'm working on mounting a Wind Vest windshield
between my 16" apes. That ought to give you guys a good laugh! I've
used WV's in the past and they did the job for me, but of course they
were mounted using WV brackets. I'm fabricating brackets and I have
cut it to fit the contour inside the uprights of the the apes. It probably
will look like shi* when its done but I got the shield for $30 from a bud
so "nothing ventured nothing gained" if it doesn't work. Post when done.

Joe[/quote]Will do Joe, it will definitely be Frankenstien, the brackets are to large
in overall size but its all I could find. Should be done today or tomorrow
morning at the latest.

Joe - the hole is made for the factory head light. 5"-6". If I bring my light up 1" and back 3" ( I can't because of the riser bolts ) it would fit just inside the edge of the wind screen. I like the way mine looks and don't mind the a/c option :-p
I had to fabricate my brackets as well as they don't carry a hardware kit for FXST's. It actually was very easy and only took a couple hours.

JoeI suppose U own a softail of some kind since U posted here in the Softail section, but I have no Idea of what bike it si or what Yr it is.
So what shield is it that Ur talking about???
In case U didn't know it, ON most buffering issues it comes from the bottom not the top or over the top of the shield.

Mine is a Clearview shield made of Lexan which is thicker & stiffer than my HD QD Deuce shield, it also has an upper recurve which routes air over the over your head. I got the
tinted version & is 2 inches higher than the stock one. Very good quality.
No buffeting!
