Default CeeBailey's or FastAire??
I'll be swapping out the windshield on my 2011 Limited because the top edge is right in my sight line.

I'm looking for opinions from people who now own or have owned either of these in the past.
Let's hear the good and the bad folks.

I have had several windshields from Fast Aire and never had a problem. Very inexpensive and IMHO good quality. I am about to put a 10" medium tint on my new Street Glide. Before you buy, why not cut down the stock unit. It is very simple.

I say support the little guy.
I've been running one of Jims (FastAires) shields for the last six or seven yrs.
Good guy to deal with.
Take a look at his Freedom shields.

Default windshield
I sat on my bike, marked the wind shield 1" below the line of sight with a sharpie, took it off and cut it with a dremmel wheel.I Ran the cut edge on a belt sander and now my shield is custom and It didn't cost a dime.

I've been using Fastaire shields for several years. Currently using a 7" Freedom and took it off so I can install it on my new 11 SG. Jim has good prices and excellent service.

I have a Fastaire as well; the quality is good and I don't think you could go wrong either way.

2010 Ultra Man has given you some good advice. It really is a simple task. You can aslo a small divider ( drafting compass ) to follow the original contour if you wish. And once you're all done you'll have something to be proud of!

check out a LRS shield, Will cost less than any of the others listed above, and it will work better.
