Awesome for Middleweight Cruiser
By Derek E. Schader
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 ge ts 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 winds hield ruining the look of your bike, I can't recommend this one enough.

Works great on my 2009 Suzuki C50 Boulevard
By B. Hull
Works great for me.. i had wind bufferring at 50 + miles without a windshield.
after my dealer suggested giving this a try before installing an OEM $400 shield, i went for it. heck for the price if i wasn't happy, it'd be a "throw away, then try the OEM).

Someone posted a youtube on his install and it helped me.

PS make sure you use Threadlocker!!!! ... i bought some but didn't use it at first.. after a couple hundred miles while riding,i noticed the right twist screw was about to fall off - it obviously got loose from vibrations. I hand tightened it real hard but it coming out wasn't cool. anywho, came home and locktited it up real good.

Slipstreamer easily installed
By '92 Sportster
The Slipstreamer S-06 Spitfire was easily installed on my Sportster. It deflects air away from the body so I don't feel like I'm getting pushed off the bike at speed but you don't feel like you're in a cage. It does vibrate, however, but then everything on old Sportsters vibrate. Good quality, easily installed and a great price. Recommended for those who want some protection from the wind, but don't want the feeling of being behind a wall.
