FastAire Aero here, polycarbonate and is pretty thick... Price is cheaper than most as well. I bought the 9" and with a C&C seat, it is right under my FOV, if I slouch I am looking through it. It has some recurve to it so no issues sitting behind it. I was eyeballing the fancy LRS shield as well but I was looking at price and materials for my selection.

i would like to purchase a recurve windshield but I am not to sure what size to get that i can be comfortable with. I am 6' and I just bought some primeapes from LA choppers that are 13" so it kind brings my posture up a lil higher. would any of you recomend a certain height of windshield? I would like a smoked windshield as well I was thinking either 6" to 8" would work, but I dont want to get to big wear im hsving issues at sunset . all the help would be appriciated

thanks

Some recommend size based off a persons height alone. This is not a great method, as we are all different, and we all have different riding styles. With our, and most "re-curve" style shields, the top of the shield should be lined up with between the tip of your nose and mouth. Right in the mustache area. Any lower, and the compressed stream of air that is created and should be going over your head, can hit you right in the forehead or face.
Hope this helped.

I love my Fast Aire "Aero" windshield: re-curve design, polycarbonate material, choice of sizing and great customer service. Jim is the best!

Local dealer let me try a Klockwerks once and I couldnt ride around the block with that goofy POS on the bike!

I then saw the light and bought an LRS shield. I now have four or five of them in various sizes and tints. I also have one of their flat tops and my wife wont get on the back unless I put it on! Seriously, she mad me stop once 20 feet down the driveway and made me go back and change windshields!!! IT WORKS THAT GOOD!

Great customer service and great people to work with and I couldnt be happier!

I was wanting to order this while I was at work for a month so my chances of sitting on a bike are slim to none, do you guys ship to canada?
