Exclamation New windshield today

Monday i ordered a windshield from fastaire.com when I came back from breakfast today Wednesday, a pkg was at front door. It was my shield. Can you believe that fast from Reno Nv. to Villa Rica Ga. I had clothes going in the dryer so i stopped the dryer, put the shield in between some of the warm clothes shut the door and warmed it up. No i didn't start the dryer again . LOL Installed it went for a cool ride and love the new height. I was so impressed with the shield and shipping i called and gave him thanks for both. Oh and the price was great. No i don't work for fastaire.com nor did i know him until today. Check out the site might be what you are looking for.
Ride Safe

Glad to hear you like the windshield. I've never seen one in real life - any chance you could post a pic or two?

Jim is a great guy, and provides great customer service.
Yes, I do know him, and consider him a friend, even though I only see him about once a year.
I bought my 1st windshield from him probably 7 or 8 years ago, before I had ever met him.
He's a one man show, and knows how to take care of his customers.
I don't think I've ever heard anyone say anything bad about him.

I got to really test the shield yesterday on a PGR ride that had me using the Interstate to get to the staging location, so i got to run up to 75MPH and it was good for the extra two inches in height with the wind going over my helmet .

I Will certainly tell others where i got it .

I have the Fast Aire Areo (flip/recurve on the top) and love it. I couldn't believe how fast I got it either.

I have the 10" Light Tint and look over it about 2 to 3 inches. It is slightly wider towards the top so it help with less wind noise in my ears.
