Yup, look for this hanging on the wall somewhere...

 

Whatever you do...don't buy the Harley shield. It's garbage. I have used both Harley and Memphis Shades. The Memphis Shades is so much thicker than the Harley shield and doesn't flex. The Harley one also has a laminated coating on it that WILL eventually peel. Memphis Shades has the wide and slim designs also. Either way, don't be afraid to cut it down to the proper height. It's super easy to do and you can make it perfect for your height. There's nothing worse than the shield being too high, it starts to rain, and having to constantly reach up to wipe the shield so you can see.

 

I don't like the look of mine very much either but after going through the Cicada season here two years ago and getting bullseyed with rocks occasionally, I put it on anytime I'm on the highway. I'm 5'8" and have the 18" quick detach. I read somewhere that you want the top of the shield to be between your bottom lip and your chin. Obviously that depends on your riding posture but I can look over the top or duck behind.

 

I have a Harley shield and also would advise you not to go with one. I have had fitment problems since it was new and the mounts have chewed up quite a few of the rubber bushings. I would go with a National Cycle shield.

 

I ditched the HD shield as well but I went with a Klockworks Flare. Love it.

 

Heres a stock MOCO windshield. It was 23 above the headlight. Might have been 22, I can't remember exactly:





This is all you have to do to make it any size you want:





And this is what I choose to keep it at. This is 16 over the headlight. I am just under six feet. Like 5.11 1/2. I look right over it.

 

I have a Fatboy Low, do any of these aftermarket companies that make shields sell the mounting hardware and their shield with the hardware?
Or do you have to buy a Harley one and transfer it to the aftermarket shield?
It seems as though all the aftermarket ones only sell the replacement screens. Also if it matters I have 12.5'' Ape Hanger bars.

Thanks

 

Ive got a like new condition quick release HD windshield of my 2008 Sporty I just traded in this past Thursday if anyone is interested. It's 14 inches from the headlight cutout to the top and Im 6'2" and sitting up it cut the wind from my forehead down.

 

I know I saw some aftermarket quick detach windshields for Harley somewhere on line. Keep searching. And I believe they were half the cost. Start with Dennis Kirk and JP cycles and go from there.

 

The windshields National Cycle sells all have the hardware and the quick release hardware looks alot more durable than Harley's.
