Haven't looked into it yet.  I like the look with out the shield.  Only problem is I'm getting a little too much protien in my diet.  Let me know what you decide, love bug season will be here soon.

The Hondaline shield would be my first choice in fit, finish and usability... but the price is thievery >:(

Windvest is neat looking, custom flare.. same complaint.

Memphis products look 'cheap' with the flat, dull aluminum crossbars.

National cycles' headlight plate overlaps main shield - great for collecting bugs between the plastic.

Umbrella - PERFECT!

Thanks guys...

Of them all.. I'll most likely get the Memphis Slims, 17" high.  I think the "N" takes the 7 inch headlight item(?)

I've decided:  The Memphis Slims, 17", solar.

My question for y'all now is... 7 or 9 inch headlight cutout?

Thanks,

Lennie

had a slim with the 9" cut out on my "C". always thought the cut out was too big. Seen some with the 7 and it looked alot better. A 7 with the headlight extension would give you plenty of adjustment also.

...and those aluminum crossbars polish up pretty good.  I have the slims, (I think the 15", but don't recall exactly, but it's the short one) and I get alot of comments about how well it blends with the bike.  It's not the first thing they notice about the bike.

Thanks jam and roller!  :)

I'll go with the 7" cutout and the 17" shield.

Windshield ordered, from Wingthings.

Wingthings never got back with me, but seems they had it backordered... Cancelled my order with them and ordered from my local stealer.

Seems I'm destined to get nothing but "backorders" and poor service (windshields and backrests) using the online vendors - I'll pay a bit more to get the parts in a timely fashion.  >:(
