How adjustable is the Memphis Alley Cat - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

I am looking for a windshield and looking at the memphis alley cat because I can fork mount but was wondering how adjustable it is?

You can adjust the height about 2 1/2 inches and you can rake it back about an 1 1/2 inches. I would be cautious though. I bought a pop top / then alle cat / then big shot and couldn't get anyone of them to cut out the buffetting completely. I am 5'10" and have a pretty avg torso length.
Also since I have tried out multiple windshields with multiple angles, the brackets that attached to the forks are not stripped and the screws that mount the windshield won't attach to the brackets. Need to call who I bought it from to see if they will reimburse me. Just not happy with any of it!
TMI?

I am 5'7... Are there any riders my height having wind issues using the alley cat?

Im 5'7 as well and hope to order the alley cat in the next week or so. I am looking forward to hearing what others have to say about it. Not to jack the post, but for those of you with the alley cat, would you mind posting a few pics.

Well i ended up ordering the Poptop 9" cutout. I think it has similar dimensions of the OEM which i like. I'll let you know how it goes when it comes in.
