Greetings,

These are pictures of the HalfMoon 8" Contour.  I have not used any other shield besides the stock one but I am very happy with the looks and performance.  I've tested this windshield to 105mph and the bike was stable, I could hear the radio much better, and my eyes did not water wearing my regular glasses; with the stock shield my eyes would start watering at 40mph.  I'm 5'7 with a 30" inseem and the air hits me at the top of my head and I can clearly see over the shield.

HalfMoon windshields are made by hand, one at a time by Pat & Robin Clark.  They have great customer service and all their products are reasonably priced; this particular shield is $60 plus shipping of $10 - I ordered the windshield on 9.1 and the windshield was on the bike 9.4

Before you spend $120-160 and have to wait 3-4 weeks visit Pat's web site http://www.customflhtwindshields.net/ or call him at (803) 755-2906.

In case my pictures won't post you can see comparison pictures of the HalfMoon vs. Stock at http://picasaweb.google.com/ezra.mcd/HalfMoonWindshields#

  I didn't look at the number of posts when I read it Larry---have to agree with you--something's up.

Actually I've been a member since 2005 and yes i am a man of few words.  I posted this because windshields, like seats and handlebars are a very important items for us to individualize.

If you want to count post I have 7 more under darkside99 - I had forgotten my earlier password.

Larry, I have talked to you about your color matched tour-pak and Skippy, I inquired about your exhaust system.

I meant no offense and by all means pick your own accessories, I only tried to present an alternative and yes I do have a bias;  I have used Pat's windshields since 2004 (actually had a preproduction) on a 2001 UC I built before SG's were around ( http://picasaweb.google.com/ezra.mcd/AmericanIronhorseAndUltraClassic# ) however there is no conspiracy here!

I make no money from the sale of these Windshields however this is Pat's livelyhood and he builds a fine product that he stands behind and all for a reasonable price - the choice is yours.

happy riding, darkside....

Ok here we go....I am looking at all of the windshields and just wondering what helmets are being worn. 1/2-3/4 or full. I like the looks of my bike with just the stock windshield but with a fullface I can not believe how much noise I still get. I would like to keep the looks of the stock windshield but I also don't want a "billboard" infront of me. Any ideas about just a 8'' OR 10". I don't have wind in my face,( hence the fullface helmet) but just something to bring down the noise. Thanks

noise can be dealt with by using a full face in the winter and ear plugs with other helmets or sans helmet.  spyder

I always wear earplugs.  So much nicer that way.  Get tired of getting beat up by the sound.

My test did not include a helmet (have not worn a helmet with the SERG) although I sometimes wear a scorpion exo 1000 which i find very comfortable and not bad with noise riding in the open on a buell xb12s.  I also wear a kbc tourcom (as well as a vox beanie) which is very confortable and good behind a shield; recently I did a 3000 mile trip wearing it behind a 4.5 inch shield on my 07' ultra classic. 

Although I have not worn a helmet behind the serg I found the 8" contour (picture link) comparable to that of the 4.5 inch on the batwing - the air hits right at the top of my head.  This was not confortable for me wearing a full face as the wind just bounced my head all around.

An 8" shield is a compromise and to me not a billboard (i know what you mean) as i prefer the sportier look myself.  To wear a full face I think I would need a billboard, maybe a 10-11 inch shield.

I'm 5'7 with a 30" inseam.  Take a look at http://picasaweb.google.com/ezra.mcd/HalfMoonWindshields# for a comparison picture of an 8" vs. stock shield.

hope this helps, mac...
