anybody run a Memphis Shades windshield? I'm planning on a 21" Fats. The Star brand is over $500 and the MS is about $250. Any downside?

It's too narrow !
Get the yamaha hardware off ebay and then get a Rifle windshield.

You'll need lowers to get rid of buffeting.

Lowers will even help that shield.
Wind comes up underneith the shield.
You'll find out on a windy/rainy day.

Ride safe,
