Default Memphis shades windshield on a Nightster

Had the windshield and hardware already laying around .It is a Memphis Fats 21'' shield.I realize a lot of people do not like shields especially on a Nightster but it sure does it's job of blocking the wind.

If you get a decent breeze you can cut the engine off and ride in neutral.

It's a good option for a multi day or week road trip.

I may leave it on all the time. Always liked having a windshield and wearing a half helmet. They also stop a crap load of bugs.

Nothing wrong with a windshield on a Sportster. I run a quick detach style on my 48. Perfect for cool mornings.

Love my Memphis Shades OEM replacement. I never take it off. I wear a 1/2 or 3/4 helmet and no longer get splattered by bugs anymore. The W/S on the other hand gets packed with bugs.

I have a quick detach windshield for mine for trips and windy days and it doesnt take away from the looks at all.

Where do the front signals get relocated to?
