[FUZZNUTS]

I ordered the 12" gunsmoke. it will be here this Thursday. I'll be needing it for the trip to E.S. I'll post some pics when it's on the scoot. I have the Cee Bailey 15" on now. BSR hates it. She tells me she gets all the wind in her face. I'm hoping the Windvest cures all of this....................Fuzz

Try the Kuryakyn, It beats out all others (CB,CV,KW) and looks the best IMO.  You can also clean all the way down behind it because of the bubble in the center.  It rises 14" and measures 20" from the center screw back.

Another view.

Does anyone know what the difference is between Windvest Gunsmoke and their Dark Smoke?  I am currently running a Clearview sport on my Road Glide and it just is not tall enough so I am going to try the 12 inch Windvest, but would like to know the difference between the two smoke colors.  Thanks in advance for the help.

Gun Smoke is lighter than Dark Smoke.

I ordered both and they should be here Monday according to the UPS web site.

Sorry , but windvest wrote me this :
Hello Klaus,
 
Thank you for your interest in WindVest Motorcycle Products.
Yes the Road Glide screens fit the CVO’s as well.
The Dark Smoke has a bronze tint to it and the Gun Smoke has a grey tint and is actually darker than the dark smoke.
Do do not currently have black for the Road Glides and I’m not sure if that is something we will be doing.
Please let me know if you have any other questions
Have a good day!

Muhuhuhahahha ,
 Then Tami and Doug should clear this
Sorry for my post .

[Puzzled]

It is no big deal at all. I'll have both in hand tomorrow so I can post pictures and give my opinion of which one looks darker. I should have ordered a clear one also as I have always ridden with a clear shield.

My WV 12" gun-smoke arrived , pics and report later , seems to have the right dark colour . 
Thank you Jim ( hd-dude )

Can someone update on what comes with the Windvest shields?  Does it come with the foam seals attached to the shield (like the clearview) and does it come with well nuts?  Thanks in advance for the help.

[Highjagger]

Only the shield , nothin else , Jim added the wellnuts , because i ordered them .
The package and the shield was ok , the fitting is not so good as the CeeBaileys , left and right from the center-screw is a small gap between fairing and screen , i used the stock SERG-gasket , but it`s not perfect fitting .
The look is not a hype but i guess that i can live with it on tours and with BSR .
the buffetting is not scrolled down to sero , it`s still at the level round the eyes , nut no flys or bienes in the face , they get pushed up by the shield-wind .
the faster you ride the better it works , at 120mph with open face helmet ( about 190km/h ) you get a pressure from behind at the head ( but not from the front ) .
 This is my first impression about the first 50 miles with this shield , i think it`s a keeper because of average good function and the look does not hurt me too much .   

[Highjagger]

Not a perfect fitting

[Highjagger]

gap , from behind this is left of center screw
