Not using what you're asking about.  But mention what kind of bike your application is and those with other experiences will be able to chime in.

I looked for a windvest for my SEEG and didn't find one on the web site.  I thought that little curl at the top would be sexy, not to mention pretty effective.  guess I'll have to call 'em up...  Any body know where I might find a similar product that would fit the SEEG?

I've already stopped by and talked to them (they're in San Jose, Ca).  They do not make one for the Electra Glide and I simply asked them "why not?".  They're a nice bunch of guys and easy to talk to.

If you are riding a model of motorcycle that is not a bagger, Wind Vest is the way to go.  I've rode several bikes with them and for their size, there isn't a shield that's more effective.  JMHO.

What's your complaint with the Deuce's HD shield? Just wondering. I have the HD Low Profile shield for my FB but it was still too tall. We took the dremel tool to it and cut it down about 2 1/2 inches or so. Now it's much better for me, works out great!  [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]  Sandy

too tall & too far forward. had another bike with a smaller windshield that sat farther back that did a lot bitter job. the only thing the HD shield does is keep the bugs off, wind still works ya over.

I have the HD low profile on my '04 SE Deuce.  I only use if for long hauls.  It worked great on our trip from Los Angeles to the Utah HOG rally last year.  Rode through on and off rain on a poker run at 80-115mph & it worked great.  I think the Wind Vest looks better & heard that it works great also.  I don't need mine anymore now that I have a bagger for the long hauls.  Just my .02

Sounds like you need the Low Profile shield. It's wider and works better at keeping the wind off you. If it's too tall cutting down to the right size is easy. I have had this shoeld on all of my HD's. A Sporty, an FXR2, a RKC and now the SE Fat Boy. Worked great on them all.  [smiley=blush.gif] Sandy
