They have colors, smoked, gradients, etc that are all set up to fit with the HD mounting hardware. The only problem is that it costs more (~$90 IIRC). I almost went that route because I was thinking about getting a smoked one (they call it "solar").
I was looking at the Memphis shades not to long ago. I have also been looking for a shield that has a top flip so you can go a bit lower and it will still direct the air flow above your head.

I have the HD King Sized windshield I bought from Rick (Jester750), it's just a hair tall for me, but i can see over it..kinda weird when i rode with it though, because the wind would come up over the windshield and thump the top of my head around..


Anyways.. For the record, in case anyone didn't see any previous posts.. I EFFING LOATHE SOLDERING.. :-D but at least I got it done.. only burned 8 of my fingers, a carpet, almost the cat because she apparently likes the smell of the solder, oh..and to get the wires behind the motor mount nice and neat, i take the motor mount off, it slips out from my burned fingers, drops on to the primary cover, and takes a nice chunk out of the black finish. Yeay. Luckily I had just enough left in the truck bed liner can to touch it up and kind of blend it.. but I guess I've found what's #1 to do on next years list. fml. battery's on a tender, a bit chilly today, but this weekend and next week it's supposed to be 65*+ around here, so I have a feeling she'll be back outside soon enough. Huzzah.

So, I just ordered the black aux. light kit along with the headlight and aux. light visor trim rings. I decided I am going to leave the risers and the trees chrome to keep some contrast and I was wondering how it would look if I left the visor trim rings chrome... Anyone got any pics of such a setup?

So my bike at the dealer, it's been there since Monday, 10k done
But when the motor gets good and hot after riding for about a hour or so if I turn it off then try and restart it I get a grinding sound once or twice? They have risen it every day but yesterday without getting it to act up and warrantee is up on Monday.im going to be doing a fuel moto 107 in a mnth or so and going to replace the compensator, but would rather have it replace if that's the cause, but I was told it could be the compensator or starter drive, I'm not going to pay for extended waretee to have this fixed (what there suggesting) when after the big bore there not going to waretee anything but wiring when done

I'm getting out today, supposed to be *62 and the last day before 7 days of rain. I turned the shocks down yesterday, so need to see how the ***/back meter does. Been riding in the cold as I have time with the Gerbings heated gear. That's the best $$ I've spent in a long time.

I'm thinking of getting off my lazy *** and selling some stuff. I'll probably list my Heavy Breather a/f (PC'd satin black) and a wrinkle black primary cover if anyone is interested. Look for it in the For Sale section over the next couple of days.

Geez *****, you came flying out of the gate, huh? Welcome to the board. I'd give you the obligatory "Sorry about what's about to happen to your wallet" talk, but it appears I'm a bit late on that.

Can't wait to see the pics. You're gonna love that bike.
