I have a 10" in dark tint that I used on my 09SG. It worked GREAT but looked like I was riding behind a top hat...goooofy. IMHO. With that said I'm putting it on my 12 FLXSE3 tomorrow because I'm preping the bike for a 4000 mile ride to Key West. On long trips I take function over form.

I've been after LRS to come out with a gradient windshield for a while. this would really help the looks of the flat top windshield. Dark at the bottom clear at the top. The top edge would not be so defined.
This would also give you a clear area of the windshild to look through when needed.

Stang: Thanks for the pics. I actually think the shorter versions of the flat-top don't loom bad. You say the 8" is good for shorter trips. How tall are you??? I am 5' 8" and use an 8" Ultra dark. I find it is ok on flat roads but cuts right into my line of site on any kind of grade. That is why I was thinking of going with the 7".
Texas: Great idea on the gradient tint. Maybe they will put one out.
Airborne: My Ultra has it. It is etched in so no it can't be removed.
2manytoys: A tophat is exactly how I described the look when talking to LRS.

I have the LRS 9" dark tint and I love it. I have ridden several hundred miles 1 and 2 up. I asked the OL what she thought and she gave her approval. I like it. What do I care what others think. When they pay the note they can do what they like.
