stock vs memphis windshield
so getting my stock windshield on and off has been a pain so i just leave it off now. was thinking about upgrading to a memphis fats windshield, but it looks exactly like the stock one (at least in the clear version). is it better material, easier to get on and off? is this worth the upgrade? appreciate any thoughts you guys have.
thanks
thanks

You might want to check which clear plastic they are both made from. I believe all HD OEM and replacement windshields are made of polycarbonate (basically bulletproof and therefore safer). The Memphis Fats windshields are made from acrylic which breaks relatively easily. See link below from National Cycle (I have no affiliation with them); scroll down and watch the video (Polycarbonate vs. Acrylic). Polycarbonate only for me.

I've had a Memphis Shades on my other bike for over 10 years. Pieces of rubber, birds, rocks and god knows what else in 40k miles. Nary a scratch.
Never tried a bullet though.
Put one on the ultra when I got it.
Just sayin
