Just wanted to say thanks for this post, it was very helpful. Bought one for my Dyna Street Bob, with the quick release clamps, turned out great.

 

Hey,I'm happy you found the information useful, and glad it worked well for you.

 

Rasaine, Would the falcon work with handle bar mounted turn signals? I have a 2011 XL1200C and am looking for a good windscreen

 

Challenger, Welcome to the Forum.

Yes, you can mount the Slipstreamer with the original Handle Bar mounted Turn Signals.
However: The signals will reflect very brightly against the inside of the shield making visibility very bad. I don't recommend it.

The Turn Signal relocation kit is not very expensive, and is not difficult to install. In my opinion it looks much better, and you will really like and appreciate the new location of the lights.

 

I have a 97 Dyna Lowrider and my turn signals are handlebar mounted. I don't notice any reflection to be hones, but the outer rim of the screen glows orange.. it's really cool!!

 

I did a lot of commuting on my past bike (400 miles on weekends) that had a standard Slipstream winshield that didn't cover the hands. I was remodeling a house over a 7 year period and used the bike to commute every other week. I live in the Northwest so the rains and cold would start picking up in November and keep on going thru March and April. My hands would get soaked and frozen from lack of protection. I have since moved into my remodeled home so don't have to commute so much, but want to extend my riding season into the colder wetter months. I appreciate the posting you've done on the falcon shield. I am going to order the 20 inch model. By the way I got a 2007 xl1200C sportster recently so the pictures don't seem to distract from the looks of the bike

 

I'm glad this information helped you. I am still very pleased with mine.

 

Is it too late to reply to this thread? lol

First, well done on sharing the info, i broke my windshield and am looking to replace it.

Second, I noticed you relocated your front turn signals. I'm having trouble with my wires, to me it seems like I need to pull off the handlebar riser (or fuel tank) to get the length I need for a clean look. How did you route the wires exactly?

Thirdly, it looks like maybe you removed the "eye brow" that covers the headlight housing?

Finally your quick release work and lock is inspiring.

Thanks!

 

Never too late.. these are still great value. I just got a 95 Softail Custom and went out and got a Slip Streamer for it. Best value out there!

 

Hello;
Looks like your bike has the factory tach. Couldn't tell if it had the smooth un-ribbed wheel rims(can't think of the proper term for them). I recently purchased a '05 custom with both of these factory options. Anxious for warm weather so I can ride.
