I have made my own with Lexan, it is pretty easy. I am sure you can have one made as well. Try a local glass shop.

Same thickness as stock, about 2 inches taller and maybe 1 inch wider.

Use Lexan or some plastic that does not shatter like plexiglass or whatever Memphis Shades uses, it shatters.

There are also several aftermarket windshield brands, who make their own stuff, who may be able to supply what you're after. Clearview Shields comes to mind, Cee Bailey is another. Clearview make them taller and 3" wider.

Agree Clearview has a sale today. I think their tallest is 24" (top of headlight cutout to top of shield) and wider than stock, but I think they can do a custom size if you call them.

I have their recurve and no distortions. Very nice product.

The 25% off puts you around the same price as this one with free shipping, That being said, Is there anybody here that is running a 24" windshield ?

any drawbacks ?

Any drawbacks? Having ridden behind a wide variety of windshields and fairings since the '60s I find it essential to be able to look over the top. Rain and/or bugs can quickly reduce vision, so IMHO only buy a height you can easily see over.
