I'd love to do the powder coat. I'm done until spring though. Thanks!

Looks good, I really wished Memphis Shades made it for the 1600. I would be perfectly content with that instead of a full HD w/ stereo one.

Thanks!

I really have no complaints on it. What I have found is that for winter riding I have to get a taller shield and HAVE to get lowers. I'm just going to make them but there is a large amount of air that flows under the fairing.

Well, I know Im way late but I love the look.

My opinions dont really matter but here they are anyway so deal with it.

Lower it in the back.
Keep the Short windshield
Keep the recessed headlight. Makes it look different.

Thanks, man! Like I said, want to lower it but just haven't researched yet of any issues doing that with a 200 rear tire. I've been contemplating going back to stock size at the next change and going with white walls. I do like the shorty shield but I get so much buffeting above 60 my glasses shake. I'm hoping that lowers will help fix some of that. I to like the recessed light, but I still want to get a Classic light back on there.

Classic light definately. Shorty shield looks way cool but it's darn near useless.

Hey Ryan, until you get your new shield, get some Croakies or other retention device so you can cinch up your glasses to the bridge of your nose. Might help with the wind lifting them up...sweet bike man.

Yep on both counts, Rusty. The shorty is purely cosmetic.

Thanks for the tip and the compliment! But when I'm going a little longer distance I have some goggles that work pretty well. For around town I just wear my Oakley's with my bandana tied around the top of them. Helps keep them in place.
