Default Anyone with an 8" windshield?

I have an Ultra Classic and was wondering if you run the 8" windshield , can you still use the three pocket fairing pouch or do they stick out on the ends, past the windshield? Thanks in advance, Steve

I have the 8" clearview and the 3 pocket pouch sticks out about 1/2" on each side.

I have a 7 inch from Cee Baileys and the 3 pocket pouch fits perfect. It must have a bit of a different shape than HDs

HD makes a two pocket version now. That is what I will be getting to use with my 8" Fastaire.

I cut off the two outsidepouchsfroma 3pouchso just the middle remained.
I couldn't stand the outside edges hanging overand past the edge ofwind shield.

Then I picked up another 3 pouch for those longer trips when I put the 9 in sheild and like having the extra two pouchs after all.

Now, HD has the two pouch, so I pick up one of them. I haven't installed it yet.

here's a pic of the middle pouch that servives with the 6 inch dark wind shield/deflector.

I have the 8" shield from Fast Aire and the 3 pocket pouch. It fits great without it hanging over. The pouch is about 1/16" inside of each side of the windshield.

I used to run a 8" windshield, but as soon as they came out with a 9" windshield I swapped over to it.

For my height, the 9" is perfect............about 2" below my line of sight.

My windshield bag works fine with it, but I have the large 1 pocket design.
