Slipstreamer06 Spitfire Shield with 1in. & 7/8in Clamp Clear

For the cost, it is a good product. If it was much more expensive then I would have rated it lower but since it is one of the only shields I can find under $100, then I really cannot complain much. It comes with two rubber pieces of tubing to use to protect your handlebars, but the metal pieces that attach to the handlebars would not fit over the thick rubber on my 2010 Harley Iron 883 stock handlebars. I instead had to use a few pieces of black electrical tape and suffer a few small scratches. Even with just a thin layer of tape the brackets hardly fit. After that the rest of the windshield was easy to install and adjust, and as long as you leave the brackets on then it is easy to remove the windshield when you want to feel the wind. I am also having an issue with the screws that hold the bars of the windshield in place due to the vibrations of the motorcycle. I find myself often having to realign the windshield and tighten the screws while riding. I have not had wobble issues at highway speeds but I cannot speak for anything over 65 mph yet. Due to where I had to mount it and the limited distance I can lower the windshield, due to the support bars hitting my gas tank when I go to park, I have to make sure I am sitting up really tall to see over the windshield or ducked down some to see through it. I have decided to mostly just use this when I know I will be riding at highway speeds for more than a few minutes, just to keep from having to constantly tighten the screws. Overall, with the price in mind, I would give it a 3.5-4 star rating. Not the best, but when you don't have a lot to shell out for an expensive one, it'll certainly get the job done.

I bought this for my Suzuki Marauder 800 (similar to the Intruder and predecessor to the Boulevard series). It fits great, doesn't ruin the look of the bike at all as it's low profile, and does a good job of deflecting wind off your chest. Once you decide on a location for the brackets on your handlebars, installation literally takes all of 5 minutes. Use blue loctite (not Red!) to hold the wingnuts in place. The nice thing about this shield, is that when it warms up and you want some wind, you can take it off in less than a minute.For those that are having a problem with head bobbing due to the wind coming off the top of the windshield, I recommend actually keeping the windshield about an inch above the top of your headlight and letting it float so to speak. Reason being, is that it will decrease the pressure off the top of the windshield and virtually make the head bobbing much less noticeable if not make it go away completely. The amount of air that gets through that gap is negligible so it won't decrease the effectiveness of keeping the wind off your chest. It's kind of the same principle as in a 4-door car when one window is opened the wind gets through the window with ease and you can really feel it inside the car. However, once you crack the rear window, this equalizes the pressure and the slipstream is not disturbed and the force of the wind blowing into the car is decreased to almost nothing.My only gripe and it's not a big one, is that if your front forks have some rake to them and you have have a handlebar mounted speedometer, the rods that connect the windshield to the brackets are somewhat short and don't allow the option of resting the windshield on the headlamp. Not a big deal for me for the reason explained above in regards to head bobbing, but some of you may want to mount it this way.If you want a some wind protection but don't want to spend $150+ or don't want to have a big windshield ruining the look of your bike, I can't recommend this one enough.

I have a Honda Rebel 450 and the online 'fit check' said it works with this model. You will require the rubber inserts for the clamps on the handlebar. The handlebars are similar to the picture. The pictured mounting will NOT work on the Honda. To get the angle needed to prevent the shield from standing almost straight up, the rods extend through the mounting-holed nut far enough to interfere with (puncture?) the gas tank and steering. So the first attempt had the shield standing too straight. In that position the buffeting of the helmet was literally teeth chattering!. It was nice to not have the wind pressure on the chest, but above 55 mph the buffeting of the helmet was not tolerable for more than a few minutes. Also, you MUST implement some protection for the set screw coming loose. If it were to come loose while riding, it could make it impossible to steer the bike. A simple wrapping of some electrical tape around the mounting rod just above the mounting-holed nut so that the mounting rod cannot slip through it any farther is one method that should work until you can get stopped.So a remount was performed moving the mounts up to above (on the Honda) the mounting of the turn signals. This allows the shield to be tilted back, closer to the recommended angle, without the rods interfering with steering or damaging the gas tank. This was extremely difficult, without straightening the rods. You need to have the rods through the mounting-holed nut on both sides when installing the mounts, then tighten the set screws. If you mount the bolts then try to get the rods through the mounting-holed nut .... good luck. The new position seems to have helped with the buffeting, but I have not been able to ride enough since the remount to determine if it is tolerable and/or preferable to riding without the shield at all!****Update after remount****: If I had it to do over again, I would not order because of the buffeting of the head from the air turbulence. For the Honda 450 Rebel, if you are taller than about 5' 6", the turbulence could pull glasses off your face. The Rebel is not a highway cruiser and has to be wound up pretty tight to get to 70 mph even in OverDrive. This shield saps even more of the power trying to sustain 70 mph. The buffeting of my full face helmet in normal riding position is not tolerable for sustained periods above 55 mph nor is crouching forward to actually get behind the shield, which eliminates 90% of the buffeting. I ride relatively short distances and seldom above 55 mph, so I will keep it installed, for know.Still trying to figure out why the lock washer goes on the mounting-holed nut (which cannot turn once the mounting rod is through it) and there is no lock washer under the head of the mounting bolt??? (The supplied one cannot go under the head.)
