Windshield Advice
I'm CHEEP !
I buy take off stock windscreens from the guys who buy the recurves.
at 6' 2" I use various height windscreens cut to desired height- the bottom edge is easily cut witha roto-zip, and the cut edge is hidden.
as I swap seats-( ultra, SG and solo) and thus height, I swap windscreen to match.
the top edge "appears" to intersect to road about 40' in front of the bike.
the reason I stay with a stock style, aside from cost...these things cost me about $35 each...is that with a straight windscreen I can tuck into it in crap weather, I can also see through it- undistorted...and at night 'cause it's untinted.
and the Lexan H-D uses is pretty tough- I've seen it take an apple sized rock at 60 MPH...boink
there are plenty of expensive ways to go.
this works for me...

I have the LRS 9" medium tint recurve on my Ultra. I'm 5' 11" and it works and looks great. The one I have now is acrylic but my next one will be polycarbonate. The polycarbonate was not available when I bought my first one. LRS makes a good product and has outstanding customer service. Price was reasonable as well. I will buy from them again.

I put on a stock 5" streetglide take off from a buddy until I decide what to buy this time around.
My next shield will likely be a 6 or 7" polycarbonate or lexan shield with the recurve and light tint.

I chose a wind shield made by F4 custom, it has the same anti scratch coating they put on eye glasses. www.f4customs.com
I have no connection with this company, just like there shields.
