Anyone windshield recomendations for 600VLX considering a Memphis Shades Shooter
Thanks Dave

I was going to purchase the Shooter for my VLX, but ended up buying the Classic Deuce instead (see pic below) because I thought the higher windshield would be a better fit for me based on all the "What is the right windshield height for me" info I had read.

So, I'd take my advice lightly. It turned out that I like looking well over the windshield and, after much wailing and gnashing of teeth* trying to get the right height and angle, ended up adjusting it as low a possible. For me, it serves it's purpose of keeping the wind off my chest and most of the bugs off my face.

If I ever had to replace it I'd get another Memphis Shades, it's a great product, but I'd probably get the Shooter.

*My default mode when something doesn't work right is ...
1) Bitch whine, piss & moan for a while, then...
2) Get 'er done.
I've been trying to skip the fruitless first step, but after 57 years, it just comes naturally. Still working on it.

I have a NC street shield. thought about a bigger one but thought it would look put of place on a small bike. I have been very happy with it.

I bought mine from JC Whitney, check out Leatherup too. Google search and decide what you want, any of the ones mentioned here and lots more are good choises.

Hey folk you need to find what size you need before deciding on a certain style/make shield. Not a one size fits all situation.

Seems like we do these VLX 600 windshield posts every month or so. I'm with Dad, I run a Plexifaring 3

When I rode a VLX I installed a Memphis Slims. I thought that windshild worked great on the bike.
