The interesting thing is that while your shield is qd, like mine, the metalwork is different, also my clamps are closer together on the fork legs. H-D obviously makes two variants. I agree that there doesn't seem to be any scope for adjusting your shield, although it might be possible to modify the upper mountings, where the shield is fastened to the brackets. That would require some skillful butchery, to make the shield lean backwards, taking the lower edge over the headlamp bracket, which is where mine is.

Well I may end up with the light visor and possibly the trim pictured earier in this thread. Cheaper than a new shield. Good to know about the "folding" feature as the thought of hitting that did concern me a bit.
when the visor shows up I will make a test run to see what improvement it makes.
Anyone ever use a full fairing on one of these? How well do those block the wind? The ones I saw sat behind the light completely. I may end up with hard bags on the back anyway so that might not look so out of place.
