I have ridden on and off with the HD nostalgia shield pictured earlier. It worked ok but I hate the way it looks, I like the cross member type braces like the Heritage shields have. That being said I bought a Memphis Fats gradient black this winter and I got the 15 inch because I wanted a real low fat looking shield (like a tombstone) and with the black on the bottom it looks perfect on the bike.

I can say that it is twice as rigid as the HD shield..a real nice heavy duty piece, the quality is excellent. I bought the quick detach kit that is spec'd for my bike. It too was good quality and went on in 10min.

Cant wait to try it out this year, Im wanting to make it a permanent addition if all goes well. I want to do some more highway riding and no shield at 70 gets old quick.

My Deluxe came with the Nostalgia shield. Been very happy with it and love the look.

The fangs are a great addition to any windshield. They were a big help with my Heritage.

+1...
In all my yrs in here the fangs are probably the best thing anyone can do to help with the buffering..
Another thing that really helped me is make sure your helmet it really snug, Mime was a little loose but it felt ok and alright,,, I read about making sure your getting a snug fit with your Helmet, so I bought one a size smaller and it made a big diff in my head shaking at highway speeds.
