I've got this one:

http://www.motosport.com/cruiser/2012-suzuki-boulevard-s40-ls650--Suzuki-Genu...

Works well for me. I'm 5'6" and this screen is short enough so I look over it rather than through it, which I prefer. Keeps the wind off my chest and most of it goes over my helmet.

Easy to install. Seems well made. It's not quick detatch though, and there is not a lot of adjustment due to the way the mounts are made. Maybe a couple of inches up or down is all. So if it fits you, you're good. If it doesn't there isn't a lot of tweaking you can do.

I wanted a smallish one that would be tall enough to throw the wind over my head, but narrow enough so it wouldn't cause too much drag, and handlebar mountable.
What I decided on was this:

I am very happy with it.
Note: Their model listing does not show the S40, but I am sure it will fit. I don't know about the Savage, though.

I like it; it blocks all of the wind and it's big enough that I can tape a thin strip of directions to the bottom. lol

Yep! I'm running the Memphis Shades "Slim" on my 1996. It's the first windshield I've ever owned and I love it. Memphis Shades has the most solid mounting system I've ever seen. I don't think any factory shield,including Harley can beat how solid it is. Even running the interstate at 75-80mph there is NO flex or wobble...NONE! I'll own nothing but a "Shade"!

the memphis shades looks intersting, wonder if it'd work with the TT bars on my 07

lol at hacksawing the rear fender, I have no doubt it'd work, but I like my fender

basicaly my idea for this bike is to put some hard bags on it (like the ones I saw one member use off ebay with the lights on the bags, which I'd wire as turn signals), maybe a rack and tail trunk (or sissy bar bag) and a sheild to block the wind, as 65-70 mph is a bit punishing
I got the bike with the actual 'boulevard' saddlebags on it, but those are near useless for my purposes (actualy carrying stuff Grin

I might even change the bars, as my fingers go numb while riding
I did notice the other day though that if I put my feet on the rear pags and lean forward like it was a sportbike or cafe this doens't seem to happen
I already have the Raptor on it, not quite ready for the versy tensioner, only 3380 miles on it
that driver's backrest might be a thing I want, too, so it'll be a bit like a touring / commuter bike, but not a barge Wink

matbe boards as well

Here's a pic with the stock headlight and Dyna Wide Glide mini-apes.
