I've been reading all the posts about windshields for my 06 Wide Glide so I know it won't quite do everything I wish it would, but I've come to the decision to try one.
My choice will be a Memphis Slim 15" Quick Detachable. But I don't know about color. What about Clear? Gradient black? Gradient Ruby/ (to kinda go with my color? Or solar?
Any suggestions?

 

It's all personal preference, but my opinion is that the colored ones look stupid, unless the color is black on a black bike.

If you decide to sell it later (high probability whenever I buy something) then it might be easier to sell a clear or a solar.

Whatever shield you get, I would recommend spending the extra clams for the lowers and related hardware.

 

I agree with trout 100%. I've had 3 of them,a black gradient Rio Grande on a black bike, a clear Fats and a solar Rio Grande. I'd stay away from the ruby for sure.
Unless you're really short, the 15" slims is going to leave your head out in the wind.

 

I went with the tinted....I'm very satisfied with mine.
No I can't smoke a cig going down the road, but it does block alot of the wind.

 

I prefer the clear, that way it just kinda goes away and is not very noticable.
The 17" is just the right height for me. If you order the 17" and find it to tall, you can always cut it down. Its going to be hard to add on to the 15", if you find it to short

 

I have the clear and my brother has the solar. I really don't like the colored ones like everyone has sa9id before me.

 

I agree with Bassman ,, I'd go with the 17" ,it was perfect for me.

 

clear ... imho
