Windshields

What would look better on my 06 Fatboy,a Memphis Shades fat or slim,also what height,13",17",21",they tell me it supposed to come up even with the tip of your nose.I'm 5'8" tall if that helps.Thanks

bad weather

I'm no expert, but i love windshields. I've learned that in bad weather, i.e fog or rain, it's important to be able to look over the windshield and still drive. so i'm thinking a little short is better than to high

I have the removable windshield on my 97 Dyna...I didn't like it at first but it does alot to cut down on the wind & cold. (becoming an old man) anyway my height is right about where my nose is & that works out perfect. If I ever get another one though I think Im gonna go wider...loks better & I think it would cut down on the cold a little better

I know some of the old timers think windshields are for sissies or just don't look right on a bike, but they have a purpose. I was on the freeway today on the ole Royal Star when a big rig kicked a rock up against the windshield that wouldn't hit me high on the chest..thank God for that windshield..that would've hurt at 60mph.

i'm beginning to think that some of these guys who just hate windshields don't ride as much as they pretend. seems the more you ride the more the more you need one

Wouldn't ride without one, especially on the e-way. My brother and I were clippin along the e-way one day at a modest 85mph when a seagull swooped down in front of him. He was riding just a head of me and all I saw was an explosion of feathers. The impact knocked a 5 " chunk of lexan out of the side of his windshield. Imagine a 2lb bird hitting you in the chest at 85! The windshield undoubtedly saved his a**.

Old timers are the ones who usually have em....I have a 23 year old kid I work with who calls me an old man cause I have a windshield on my bike...He'll learn....eventually
