Default Memphis Shades vs Windvest

I see memphis shades on ebay for $200 and at the windvest website they sell for $360, wow, what a price difference. Anyone tried both? And can tell me the difference in quality?
Windvest seems a little pricey. It's not going to be on the bike full time, just for long hauls.

I had a Windvest to start with. I tried and tried to get the buffet at highway speeds to stop, and never could. So I sold it to someone here and bought a memphis shades and have not looked back. I did buy the bigger memphis shades, but it is easy on and off within a few seconds really. So When needed it is one, when not it is off.
Just my experience.

+1 on the Memphis Shades. I think I have the Del Rio sport. Great quality and easy on, easy off. Just as good quality as the HD windshields I've had in the past at a fraction of the cost. Never tried the Windvest.

I agree...Memphis Shades is one of the best quality windshields on the market. I have had a Sportshield on my FXD for most of its 39,000 miles and its perfect. Off and on in seconds too. www.denniskirk.com is a good resource for stuff like that...very good prices and customer service.
