Windshield for shadow 750 spirit C2

#1 Unread post by goldeen »

I am purchasing a new bike this week and want to get a windshield for it. There are many to choose from and I am hoping you folks can help me narrow down my choices.
Thanks

obviously many of you are interested in a windshield. so here is my saga with purchasing one for my bike.
Attempt #1 National cycle narrow lowboy. it was a piece of S#%t, starting buffeting my head at 50 mph and became unbearable at 55-60mph. I called national about this and all they had to say was raise the shield.....make no difference.
Attempt #2 National cycle heavy duty custom, this was the next size bigger. It was inches over my eyes.
The buffeting started at 60mph and was also unbearable. what I realized was that the shield was tilted forward and was creating turbulence not a slipstream.
Attempt #3 Memphis Shades Deuce classic. This shield is pretty good. some buffeting starting at 65-70mph but no where near as bad as the other 2 shields, however; this was still not to my liking So, I have added the lowers it is has taken care of the buffeting. I am still working on the final adjusting of them to fine tune them.
I really like the combo of these 2 things together. The Memphis windshield is a pain to adjust by yourself it has 3 pivot point that all need to be adjusted at the same time. And the install instructions for both are vague and have poor pictures .
