Default Windshield options for 2018 48

Looking

for some ideas for a windshield for my 2018 48, no fairings I’ve never had any luck with fairings actually deflecting wind. Looking for a tinted one that isn’t gigantic but helps with wind on the highway. Checked Amazon and eBay but can’t find anything decent.

Starting with the HD offering there is a couple of companies that supply just the screen.

Checkout Memphis shades.

I have a Memphis shades Del Rio. They make it for the 48, its the perfect size for me and they have it in tinted as well which I have been looking at getting also. I'm 5'6" and this doesn't buffet with a helmet at all. Doesn't get blown side to side either

how much was it for the brackets and the windshield? I’ve seen a few on Memphis shades but they all say bracket not included, kind of looking for the best deal but also effective on the highway I’m 5’6 too

I was able to get mine brand new for 90 dollars for plate kit and windshield from a giant barn filled with motorcycle parts.

I got it from The World Famous Bargain Barn in Edgerton WI.

I have a Memphis Shades Road Warrior fairing, and if you get the tallest windshield, it does block well.
