Default windshield

Looking for a little info for a friend of mine who rides with us once and a while. She has a 1983 sportster iron head and is looking for a bolt on windshield. Any help would be appreciated.

The only windshield (in my opinion) that looks good on a sporty is the windvest. Don't let the size fool you...it works.

Got the smallest memphis shades on my 883. Little to short for me but works well for my GF.

I really like the fitment and function of these windshields. It's small & cheap but works great ... even looks half way decent for a windshield.

I just removed my national cycle windshield going to ride 100 miles without it then put it back on in the lowest position and see if its worth keeping on my front forks.
I plan to replace it with a fairing soon Memphis shades makes one for 149.00 + mounting kit and the rifle fairing would run me about 400 with it Color matched to my bike.
