Don't know if Memphis Shades make a taller screen. Karl Odessa, MO '07 America, Cinnamon Girl (aka: Black Beauty or Ol' Penny) - Sit Down, Shut Up & Hang On

Clearview also makes extra tall replacements for memphis shades hardware and others. Good luck. oh: and for earlier americas with the non-tapered fork tubes you have a lot of flexibility in how high you mount the shield. Last edited by Bill; 03/30/2012 12:24 AM.

Any taller I'd go with the larger shield they offer. 07 TBA, 32" Turnouts, DIY Freak, hard saddlebags, 18" screen, dresser bars, highway pegs, floorboards, fog lights, amber run/turn lights front, red run/turn/stop lights back, blue speedo/tach lights, LED console lights
