Looking for windshield ideas and recommendations

[Jeremiahbucher]

I have a 2007 Shadow VT750DC and I am looking for a full size windshield to keep the wind off my body and face. I went to a few websites and found the selection to be completely overwhelming. I saw some of the posters here are using a switchblade 2-up which looks nice. Anyone have any recommendations? Website and/or brand/style for my needs?

I have 2 National Cycle windshields; one for a 99 750 and one for a 95 1100 and have found the quality and performance very good.

Your windshield, your determination.. heres a good idea.. got a local used bike place? Take out some bikes with shields of differing heights.. this is going to be your primary concern. Too high, too low, and just right are the choices.. too high is anything that impairs you sight line..while too low is anything that you find discomforting or as giving you personally too much buffeting..myself I would avoid any windshield ( which is most of them btw ) that does not include mounting hardware, which is why I have always found Slipstreamer a good choice [NOTE.. my statement does not include the purchase of a batwing )

I have a Memphis Shades windshield with the "No Tool-Trigger Lock" mounting system. This allows me to remove/install the windshield in about 30 seconds (and that is when I'm having a slow day).

Here is a link to a YouTube video from CruiserCustomizing.com on windshield sizing:

+1 on the Memphis Shades no tool trigger lock. I have a quick release wind shield on my Triumph. On or off in 5 seconds, maximum. I wouldn't have any other sort of wind shield.

Memphis Shades Fats on mine. I've been very pleased with it. I don't have the quick-release brackets so it takes me about a minute to take mine off and 2 to 3 minutes to get it back on. I know that is slower than all get out but it's okay by me for a cruiser.

+1. I've owned the Spitfire in the past and the Viper at the present. Both done very well for keeping bugs etc. off me. They are not Memphis Fats/Slims but they are good at not buffeting in the wind when adjusted properly but each style/model of rides are going to be different + they very affordable and durable in spite what others have experienced etc. The Viper is 2" taller (17") than the Spitfire (15") and wide and a different shape/style. Go to Memphis Shade and check how to fit a shield to you and your bike.I put 20,000 mi./3yr. on the Spitfire and sold to a fellow member in very good condition.
