Default Attention all Sportster Owners

BaggerShield has just proto-typed a new windshield design for all non-fairing style bikes.

Currently BaggerShields are only available on fairing style touring bikes. The idea of these shields have been to allow the rider to switch from a short height for cruising or warm weather riding to the tall height for touring or cool weather riding in a matter of seconds. The rider does not have to leave the house for a day of riding and deside on what shield to put on his bike, he can simply adjust for the elements as the day goes on.

Now we have just developed a proto-type for the non fairing more open air bikes and prior to releasing it to production, we are looking for as much feed back good or bad as we can get. Please look at the pictures and check our our website www.baggershield.com and again we would like your comments!

Looks just like any other aftermarket shield today apart from the part that looks like it snaps on and off...

I'm not a windshield guy but I could see why people use them....I just dont think they are very good looking. Functional? Absolutely. Worth the investment? Probably. Good looking? Absolutely not. If only a manufacturer could make a great sexy looking shield...

Can't say that I like it. I use a WS for most of my riding, but something about it just doesn't look right to me. Good concept tho.

No need to be sorry. We are looking for all feedback. The BaggerShield is not going to be for everyone. I'm going to guess you are probably not a windshield guy any way.

PS

Cool Bike!

its hard to design a good looking windsheild that does its job. I've really never seen one that looks right except on roadkings.

a big windsheild on a narrow sporty front end just wont ever look right. IMO
