Default SG new windshield time

G'day folks

My new Fast Aire 7" windshield arrived today so I have taken pictures comparing that to the previous 8" KW product. The spear tip chrome fastening bar looks pretty tidy too in my opinion.

I liked the KW, but being a 5'8" shorty meant sometimes seeing over it wasn't the easiest - only really a problem if going up hill in slow action with debris or holes to avoid but hey any excuse for a bit of a change eh

Old KW



New Fast Aire

I'm trying to choose between the 8.5" Klock Werks and the 9" Aero now. Once this friggin' snow here finally stops, I'll have some fun comparing the two.

Looks good! I'm waiting on the 8" fast Aire I ordered Tuesday. Hoping it works for me, I'm 6'2". You gonna be selling the KW? I've got a buddy looking to get one.

About the same here, bought the KW 6.5 and it was better than the stock one but still lacked a lot so bought a flip 9 inch from LRS, and still have it, but thinking about replacing it w/the aero 10 inch as I now have a hammock seat which sits me up about an inch higher it seems.

My Road King with a Reckless fairing is wearing a 7" Fastaire Aero shield.

The Aero is a great shield, its also made from polycarbonite. After past expierience I will never buy another acrylic shield, but thats another story.

I think you will really like the Fastaire Aero.
