Low profile Compact and other Windshield pics and feedback request.
I have never used a windshield, this is new territory for me. I am taking some long trips this riding season, so a shield is needed now.
If any one has any pics of your ride with a shield on it I would greatly appreciate taking a look at it. I am seriously considering getting the shield tomorrow.
The shield I am considering is the Quick Release Detachable Compact Windshield - Low Profile, pn: 58348-06
Any and all pics and any feedback regarding your shield is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom

Zero, I've got the QD windshield standard height on my SG Custom. It is a nice piece and works well. I had to trim 1 1/2" off it in order to see just over it. You can also slide it up and down the fork tubes between the trees a couple inches for some height adjustment. On and off in 10 seconds! Bob

I would highly advise against getting the low profile. It is to short and you most likely not like riding with it on. Get a standard height and then cut it down to the height you need. They are easy to cut down and there is a nice write on this forum in the how to section. If dont want to cut it your self most glass companies could cut it down for you.
I dont use mine much but its nice for a trip and when the temp is below 50.
Dont have many pics with it on so its a older pic but it is the Standard height I cut down about 3 inches. I still need to shape the sides some but wanted to make sure It was cut down enough before finishing up.

Try a Windvest - its small inconspicuious and the recurve gives you lots of protection. You may still get a little head buffeting but it still feels like riding without a big shield. I ride 400-500 on a regular basis and the reduction of the fatigue that comes with riding without a shield is incredible.
