Trying a Windvest on my Crossbones
Not exactly the right one, headlight cutout is not quite right, as this is for a springer softail..but, I got it used and thought it would serve as a test, before forking out the bigger coin..
Seems to work pretty well, takes pressure off at highway speed,,kind of nice, I think is may be swirling wind around to the back of my head??.. It blew my hat off once, that has never happened.. Still going to test it a while, trying to decide
I don’t think it messes up the lines too badly..
What do you think? For a windshield on a “Bones”, that is…lol
If I order one, it will be a tinted screen, and the hardware in black
Also, did my first 2 up ride on her last Saturday..much to my surprise..I seemed to have more room than on the FLHT..didn’t even know she was back there..
Overall could not be happier with the Crossbones!

Here's my formula for no windshield highway riding:
Speed = 60mph = piece of cake
Speed = 65mph = no problem
Speed = 70mph = suckage factor begins to kick in
Speed = 75mph = suckage factor gets real
Speed = 80mph = suckage factor in full effect
For me, at 58 years old, I can handle about 125 miles of 75mph+ riding (with no windshield) before it's time to pull off the road and take a little break.
