Default Need FLHXI windshield advice

I replaced the stock shield on my SG with a Fastaire (I think 9 inch). I like the look and wind reduction but I have alot of high pitched chattering happening at various RPMs. At first I could not figure out where it was coming from but have narrowed it down to the windshield shuttering. It is driving me crazy. Due to the decrease in thickness compared to the stocker, the shield appears to only be pinched firmly at the three shield screws. It does not have pressure at other points in the span of the windshield. What shield to try now. The price and quality is fine on these shields but how to stop the chattering? Are all the Fastaire's the same thickness or is there a thicker version that fits more firmly in the slot? Anyone with any tips, please post. Are Clearview shields thicker or do I need to order a Harley Shield. I like the 9-10 inch height.

Well I ordered a SSC shield from Cee baileys, andI have a 9 inch harly shield which does a good job, I just like the look of the cee baileys, depending on the cee baileys, I may want to sell my HD 9 inch andI would give ya a deal on it. It is very stable and I have experienced zero chattering. It is a 2 weeks old. let me know if you are interested andI will contact you after the cee baileys get here.
