c50 windshields - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Hey....

I have a boulevard c50 and I am wanting to purchase a windshield for it. I am considering the Memphis Shades Demon, Hell Cat or Class Deuce. Does anyone have any experience with any of these and how well they fit the C50. I'm 6'1" so I don't think that the 18" height of these should fit me perfectly.

Thanks for the input,
James

Most manf's make windshields in various heights, including OEM, just check their
sites.

Also some shops have mockups and can fit you with the right one for you.

I have the Memphis Shades Hellcat on my C50C. I'm 5'7 and it is actually too short for me. Go to a shop where you can be properly fitted for the windshield.
Too short and you get major wind buffeting, too tall and your vision is obscured in a rainstorm. The Hellcat is a smaller low profile (minimal) kind of protection.
I love the look but have issues with the buffeting.

I'm 5'6" and have the OEM w/s. It's actually about an inch too tall at it's lowest setting. Might be about right for you fully raised. It's a well made w/s, so you might want to check it out.

Memphis Shades Fats, works for me I'm 6'2 with 32 inch inseam. It comes to the bridge of my nose and so view is not obstructed. I can either duck behind it or look over it if it rains or fogs up. I am not noticing any buffeting, if I put a hand just above my helmet I sure do. OEM is way to much money , and a real hassle to put on and remove the MS is cheaper (in price) and is easy to remove, adjust.

My 2C, I had the OEM one but it got cracked when I tighten down on a nut too much.
