Looking for a windshield for a Suzuki c90
Don't know how to pick one for my size.
Needs....
1. I'm 6'3"
2. Must be a very quick release. I hate items that destroy the clean look of a naked bike. It will be off most of the time except for long rides on the interstate.
3. brand.....don't care as long as it is good....only like to buy an item once and not twice.
4. where to buy.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Wow. I just read this, and I must tell you that quick release for Metrics is a tough one. You will probably need a good sized one at your height. Mine is 20 1/2 inches, and is perfect, but I'm "only" 6 feet tall.

It is a Yammy one, and held on with just four bolts, to the brackets. Most have a a similar setup. If you take the four bolts off, someone seeing you ride by wouldn't even notice the brackets.

Good luck in our search!

I have a 21" Memphis Shades (fats?) on my VTX1300. I'm only 5'10 but this windshield is just a little tall for me. It has a quick release feature that leaves the small mounting bracket on the forks. It's not really noticable when removed, but I almost always leave mine on due to mostly highway riding.

I think any crusier with out a wind shield looks so unfinshed. But that my 2 cents worth.

My C90T came with a windshield that's supposed to be adjustable, but I'm not sure it's easy to take off. I haven't tried it. I do know that the lowers that match the windshield are a real help going down the highway. If you're going to travel far, I'd suggest you buy one.
