Wife and I have matching shields now. I had the lower black gradient tint and it was covering the beautiful FL front on my dyna. I tried her shield out and decided I like my chrome exposed. 65+25 shipping on eBay-Good deal IMO!

She just saw it this morning after I left for work. She spent the night with girlfriends in Bodega-Text went something like this "Yay--I love the seat---Nice and comphy" So apparently she sat on it.
She can ride it around the neighborhood, I still want to run it through the gears at speed before I turn it loose. wont be long-70's next week right?
