Aero windshield thickness
Hi guys,
I am looking for a shorter, and aero dynamic windshield to reduce the buffering, but I have learned one thing that may be a problem for my set up as I have a windshield three pouches.
My question is what windshield has the thinnest thickness?
So far, I have learned that Fast Aire has a very good warranty, but the thickness is what I am looking for.
Thanks much in advanced

Thanks for the info.
With the current stock wind shield, I already have a "big" gap at the top of the fairing, so I think adding any more thickness will not be good.
I guess the windshield people don't think about the faring pouches.
Keep looking!

The HD windshield varies from .122 -.126. If one were to go much lower than that you'd give up impact strength & aero stability = breaks easier and/or bends under wind pressure at higher speeds.
With an Aero windshield, a normal 3 bag system does not cause any issues.
Some bag systems use an extra thick attachment flap that could cause fitment issues with any windshield.

I have the Fast Aire "Aero" windshield and the T-Bags Windshield Bag 4. Both are a perfect fit.

I think you are over thinking the situation.

I guess I will go with the light gray. Hopefully, I can see through it at night.

I just ordered a 7" dark Aero shield from you this morning, and I am also curious as to who has the best fitting windshield bag for the thicker shield.
Which brands have the thinner mounting flap?
Any particular brand you would suggest?

I wish there is a combined shipping, but it is not the case.
Hopefully, this is what i want.
