    Check into Memphis Shades. I believe Drag sells them.

    The Memphis shades I have seen are tinted at the bottom.
    The OL will not let me put it on her bike.
    I wouldn't want it on a bike of mine either.


    thanks.

    Don't have a Nightster, but I've used 'shield on 2 Sportsters & the only real difference is the handlebar. I've got the H-D "Sport" 'shield that mounts to the upper part of the forks & also to the bar. The bar height from one bike to the other is 4" different, but there's a lot of adjustment in the mounts & I don't believe the lower Nighster bar would be any problem.

    It's a mid-size 'shield that you look over instead of thru & National Cycle makes one that's nearly identical & costs less, primarily because it doesn't have the winged H-D logo - which you can barely see anyway. Both 'shields drop down around the headlight 1/2 way & that helps cut down on the air coming underneath the 'shield, then up in your face - the turbulence behind the 'shield can be bad if the angle's not right.

    I rode around with 2 box-end wrenches & an Allen in my back pocket, stopping periodically to loosen the mounts a little, tilt the 'shield to a slightly different angle, tighten the clamps & try it again. Took a while, but "trial & error" got it right for me. Oh - mine's a light "smoke" tint but I think Nat'l. Cycle also offers it in clear if that's what she wants.

    Yep memphis has clear ones.

    I have the black tint on the bottom of my shield from them for the RG, they do make good stuff,

    I think they also have a detachable kit?

    That bike would look good with the memphis shades either tinted completly (smoked) or the black on the bottom....
