Height and Windshield
08/09/05 at 19:17:35

I am about 6' tall and I was wondering if there was anyone else out there about my size, that is using a windshield, I would like to know what make and size. Also my bike has drag bars and would appreciate a windshield that fits that style, fork mount would be nice.
Thanks in Advance for your valuable input. Grin

Just for the record my ride is a 1986 LSF.

Adding a windshield is a "fun" process. You have the "thrill" of working the windshield to the right height (you want to have it below eye level- check here for reasons http://motorcyclecruiser.com/tech/Chopwindshields/ ) and then you want to work it so you minimize the buffetting. There are additional articles at motorcyclecruiser.com that helped me understand how to do it right. It took about 4 or 5 tries to get it right on my wife's Savage. By right, I mean for her. OneidaSuzuki.com has a factory windshield for a good price. Good luck.

Thanks Wolfie, I enjoyed reading the link on windshields, also have checked into bikebandit for a Memphis shade, still considering my options. When I bought the bike it came with a small coffin shaped windshield (smoke in color), I originally rode with that but have found that it produced way to much helmet buffeting. I require a shield that offers protection without the buffeting even thou I sit so tall in the saddle, (so to speak).

And once you decide on the shield(s) you think you'd like, watch eBay for a deal.

Thanks Savage_Rob, checked out the site and saw a couple of shields that I liked, next step is to convince the wife that this is a required purchase, when it happens I will let you all know what way I went.
I am not very computer literate, (can't spell either) but am planning on soon trying to upload a picture of me and my mistress (as the wife calls her) for all to see.
Thanks
