Default custom windshields - Help needed!

I am looking for some new ideas and images for custom windshields.

If you guys have any great Ideas for a custom windshield or picture that could be etched or printed on the shield I would love to see it.

I want to put something on my bike at Laughlin to show off a bit.

Thanks in advance.

I'd still like to have a windshield that go's from a medium dark tint to clear. I think Memphis Shades is the only company that has one but they don't have the re-curve features that yours do. The air control is more important that the shading but I'd like to have both.

The advantage of this is you still have to looks of a dark windshield but when you get caught in nasty weather you can duck down and still see through the top of the windshield.

If you are referring to Laughlin AFB I would suggest something that represents the Patriot Guard Riders.

Is an amber tint possible? Miss my old 70's Ray Ban Ambermatics. They did a good job of cutting through fog and haze and I could still use them at night.

Thanks,

Can you do a gradient like that in the Ultra Flip? I have the light tint now and love it, but would consider a new one with the gradient tint.

For Nevada? Maybe a pair of dice (7 of course), or maybe 5 cards of a royal straight flush? Something to think about.

Good luck and ride safe!

ABSOLUTELY! I'll buy a 7 inch one of those TODAY!

Question:
Are your shields OEM thickness (0.125 inches I think) ?

THANKS!

I like the fuzzy dice idea or maybe just a good pair of rolling dice.

The nevada national guard out here calls them selves the High Rollers and have some dice as their logo. I could play with something like that.
