Windvest is my choice, hands down-looks great, easy to install, and no buffeting.

I have a WindVest. I sure like it. It don't have a lot of distractions like others do. You can see mine on their website.

Nice seat Ray.

Is that a Corbin rider's section, with a Triumph pillion ?
How comfortable is it with the rider's backrest?
Apologies for temporary thread highjack.

windshield looks cool too, if a little bulky.

i like my roadster screen with lowers. i get almost no buffeting and i personally think the triumph screens are the best looking, but without lowers the buffeting is unbearable.

I just installed an Alley Cat (Memphis shades bought from fasteddy). I did a test ride and I like it. Im 6-1. I get just a touch of buffeting coming from around the tank. Im still working on positioning the lowers just right. See Eddies post here Eddys test w/ Lowers
I had a 16" Windvest for a few weeks. Its a great shield but I didint like the tint (it messed with my vision and was distracting) and I got more buffeting coming from under it than I expected. This prompted me to buy the lowers. I will say its built tough as nails adn lookos great!

Oh yeah...if you get teh Memphis...the Solar is as close to clear as they get. I almost cant see the tint in it. I say this so you can get the solar lowers if you opt for this instead of the clear.
