I don't remember if that was the exact one that I had for a short time but I did get one of those ebay shorties. I hated it, beat me to death. Bought a CV recurved and could not be happier after 25k miles. IMHO spend the extra $$ and get a CV with Recurve. Like I said, don't want to diss the ebay seller cuz I really don't remember who I got it from. My 0.02.

 

For a cheap shield try this out Fast Aire

same shield $24

I personally prefer a Clearview with Recurve
http://clearviewshields.com/shop/index.php

or for when I need mega coverage the custom flht windshields
http://www.customflhtwindshields.net/index.html

I have both and switch back and forth.

 

Try one of these:

I love mine.

 

I bought a cheap sheild off ebay and it worked fine. It was not from that seller, but it was a flat piece of plastic. The sheild you are looking at is lexan, it won't break, not sure if mine was. I have since gone to a clearview recurve and love it. Very good quality, but 3 times the price.

Bottom line....that sheild will work fine if you don't want to spend more.

I just went back and read the auction again. The 6" would not be tall enough for me. I run an 8".

 

My Ultra has the 6" dark smoke on it now from this guy. They ship it flat, not pre-curved. For the money - good deal. My brother-in-law bought the 8" but he's 6' 4", I'm 5' 10".

 

+1 on these, excellent quality and great people to deal with. They also sell on eBay...

 

I have a couple from this company that Peculierboy mentions. A 14" flat-top, although not particularly attractive in blocks cold wind like a nobodies business and it the best rain screen I have used, I stay reasonably dry. I put it on this time of year. It is however a barn door and will make itself known in a stiff wind. I bought it in light bronze, but in hindsight would have gotten clear, tougher to see through at night. The second one is an 8" half-moon in dark tint, summer use, I love it. A little wider than normal, and it does keep the wind noise down around the speakers. At 6"1 it buffets the wind about 1 inch over the top of my head, perfect as far as I'm concerned. I personally would never go any lower than and 8".

For what they cost you can buy one for any type of riding and switch it over in monutes.

 

Thanks to all, appreciate the input...
