Anyone using one? If so, what are your opinion? I'm considering getting one to replace the 4" that came with my SG for everyday use andalso see if can offer adequate protection for those long rides too. I have a corbin dual tour which is about 1" lower than stock so the cumulativeeffect would be about 7". I'd like to keep the look as close to stock as possible but Ihave not ruled out the 8.5" Fastaire if the 6" dosen't cut it. Thanks

 

Waste of money to go from 4to a 6", if you want short but way better wind deflection go with the 8inch.

 

And dont buya Harley one way over priced...check out ebay...i maybe wrong but i think a member here sells them on ebay.

 

I have the 6-1/2� HD dark smoke and really like it. I’ve ridden a SG with the 3-1/2� and it felt like there wasn’t enough height to deflect the bugs and wind off of the fairing. With the 6-1/2, I can see the bug approaching, but before it hits me, the upforce of the air from the fairing and slightly taller windshield makes it go over my head. Much nicer than in my face. I use the standard (12�) windshield for the winter. It can get down in the teens here in the winter. I’ll put a 9-1/2� on for late fall and early spring. I tried a windshield off of e-bay. It seemed to have a lot of light scratch marks on the surface. I wasn’t impressed with the quality. I’ve never had a problem with the HD… other than the price.

 

It's pretty amazing how much difference going from the 4" to a 6-1/2" will make.

Buy aftermarket though. H-D is way overpriced.

eBay --- I have gotten a couple from Sin City Cycles---$30 or less

 

I find the after market ones scratch so easily.....I've be told the moco ones have a hardened surface.

 

Take a look at cee baileys 7 inch, nice windshield
