Default I did a thing...

Love my Road King. Looking at the Highway King, I thought the color matched windshield looked very cool and old school. Where could I get one? No one seems to make them anymore... hmm... Thought about maybe tinting mine, but that sounded painful to get the line right.

Then I found a NOS Memphis Shade windshield in red gradient on E-Bay. My stock one is a little too tall, this one is slightly shorter which should be perfect. It's now in the mail and on its way here to Japan. Will update when I get it installed!

Anyone have any color gradient windshields installed? Google searched around but couldn't find any images of one on a modern HD.

Cool. All you need now is a police seat and get those bags painted white.

I have one on my Softail. This an old picture. I've since cut it down to 14".

Well, color me impressed. The Memphis Shades shield is better than stock material...
