Here are the pictures of the windshield in clear. To sum up the feedback we are getting for a Sportster design you guys want a more streamlined design with little or no visible hardware and maybe a little smaller than the design in the pictures. Is this correct? Anything I'm missing?

A bigger problem for me would be the adjustable height When short, you are seeing overlapped sheild as top piece is layered behind front and then can be extended up? Double sheild? not my taste IMHO

Quick disconnects. Lockable preferred.

Default interesting

I had a K75 BMW with a power raiseable fairing a $1000 option
which actually worked very nicely ... I could certainly see this
if it can also on those hot august days for local bar hoping be taken directly off I certainly would be interested at a reasonable price
good luck ... keep up the good work ...

Cool

Mold up a Batwing,,
The clear one your showing me,,
The Hardware bars showing,,Kills It for me.
And those In the know,,understand areodynamics,,
The flat type shields just don't help turbulence like when
cutting through a trucks wind field..
Plus they tend to beat your head up at real speeds,,like 75 or 80

Your building somethin that everybody makes already. The Fit and trim level
shows me you know what your doing.
I've never seen a Sportster specific Batwing,,,follow me ?

I got one of these, below, performance Is fantastic,,
Cost alot tho,,
doesn't screw up the lines of the bike,
Don't look like some hang on thing,,

Yeah show us a Sportster Batwing,,
An I would consider openning my wallet XD

The flat top will be changed on the Sportster model. This one was custom made for an employee and that's how he wanted it. Would an adjustable version of the screen you have on your bike be of any interest. It would have to be a little bigger to get the functionality but not much. I'm guessing we would be able to get you 3" or so of adjustment.

This sounds like a Wind Vest:

The Vanilla Zilla has already been mentioned.

If you can't beat these guys in price, quality, etc. look for something else.

Persue this.
I hate windshields, but to give you my honest opinion of what you can make money with, that's it. About Osco's size, maybe a little bigger. Either that, or stay on the Suzuki forums. I don't know how important adjust ability would be in this crowd. I haven't noticed it mentioned alot, except by you and an old BMW. Gadgets are for Goldwings. I like my bike simple without too much stuff that can break.
I hope your research goes well and I truly wish you luck with your endeavor.

The only way you could beat Windvest would be to offer a similar shield(s) at a much lower price but with the same quality.
