Default MEMPHIS SLIMS

Does anyone out there have a Memphis Slims Shooter windsheild for their Sporster?
i just got one, havnt tried installing it yet, just wondering how its going to work out, dosnt seems like theres much room on the handelbars to space out the clamps.
If there is anyone out therecan you show me a pick, so i can see how it looks and where you have your clamps placed.

I just installed an Memphis Shade El Paso and it went on in about fifteen minutes. Install the clamps first and tighten them down just enough that they will stay in placeand then insert your windshield into the slots line everything up and tighten it down. You will probably be adjusting it
a couple times due to wind buffeting but there a great little windshield.

I've got the Memphis Fats. It is top notch quality and a snap to install and remove. WVICEMAN gave good advice about installing the clamps so they are loose enough to slide around. It looks more complicated than it really is, especially with the printed directions that are somewhat confusing.
