When I get my bike, I will want one that I can put on, and take off easily. It looks good. Do you look through it, or over it. I test drove the Roadking, a couple of weeks ago, and hated looking through the big shield.

Went on another Harley ride day this weekend. Rode the Slim S a couple of more times, just to punish myself more. I am never going to make it until spring. You guys have put up some great pics of this bike, and are not making it any easier for me.

If youve ridden Harleys long enough to know what to expect, then the s'es practically sell them selves
Tough to pass up less your poor like me

That shield is available in two heights. The taller 21" like the Road King or a shorter 18" light tinted one like I bought. I look over it.

Definitely looks much better with the extra black vs chrome..I like the AC Cover too..............PLT 3082, I Co here

I've since added a black Motherwell rack, black crash bars and have gotten rid of 90% of any chrome on the bike. I'll post more pics when the rain ends around here, could be days

How is the wind protection?
Is there any buffeting?
Can you see over it?
Which height did you get?
