Default Adjustable windshield for batwing?

Is there anyone who makes one? Something that can rise and drop around 2 inches?

It's out there. We were in Sturgis last year and Tsukayu (sp?) had one on display. Only problem was you had to buy the whole fairing. If I still had the Road King I would have jumped at it!

Won't work with the factory fairing though.

Not sure where I saw it advertised, but someone makes one that is 2 layers with slots and screws to raise or lower the one section while the other section mounts to the fairing in the traditional way. Maybe just do an internet search. It's out there somewhere!

I use the mid-level height in the summer and the taller one in the fall and spring.

I've been temped to experiment with trimming the botton part of one windshield and overlaying it over the mounted windshield with adjustable screw slots that would allow for a 2-3" adjustment.

I bought one of these last summer. Works great. You can adjust your windshield 4" in a few seconds without tools.

I saw a road glide that traveled to Alaska (old thread) he had a windshield that had a outer windshield that provided a lower pressure on the backside and subsequently moved air higher and straighter over the rider. Someone should make those for FLH baggers with a none shark nose fairing.
