Default Windshield for 2012 883 Superlow

Hey Folks! I just purchased a 2012 883 Superlow for my wife and I'm looking for recommendations for a windshield (without a fairing). Thanks in advance!

-Dave

Both Mrs B and I ride the bike, which is fine well into the 80mph range, although we do wear ear plugs.

That's the same one I have on my Superlow as well. It isn't as cool lookin' as no windshield but it sure makes riding more pleasant. Easy on and off too. I bought clamps to relocate my blinkers to the forks and they will fit fine with the windshield as well.

@grbrown, You can get your xl883 up to 80 mph? Mine is screaming at 65. I wish it had a 6th gear!

It'll certainly do over 90mph. You need ear-plugs - best tuning aid known to mankind! Your bike will be fine, honest.....

I rode mine to Vega$ and back last year, often cruising at 70 mph. It could use a 6th gear, but it's fine without a windshield.
