Windshield Considerations - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Morning,

I am going to pick up an 08 Vulcan 900 custom, and since I will be using it for a regular 70 mile daily commute I am interested in adding a windshield. I have been looking at the graduated Memphis Shades but I am unsure what height to get?

Any advice here would be appreciated.

TIA

C.D.

There are several threads on the subject. After reading them, I just ordered the 21" bigshot for my M50 - I'm 6'1"

I have an M95 with an Alley cat on it. I didn't want the look of the "classic cruiser" as I suspect you don't either or you wouldn't have chosen the custom. The alley cat covers enough to make it worth while but not so much that it takes center stage. The alley cat is in Memphis Shades sport series
