I'm a newbie here so go easy on me. I just added a black 2008 Uly XT to my Hog Pen. I have been riding since age 12 and riding Harley's since 1999, but after reading the article in American Rider I decided that I wanted a new experience in riding. I now have a Uly XT setting next to my 2004 Screamin Eagle Electraglide. I am really impressed with this bike and the new riding experience. I have read all the post I could find on windshields in every forum I could find. I have read good and bad reports on the Cee Baileys, Madstad, Parabellum and the Cal. Scientific. I am totally confused on which one is best for my needs. I am 5' 11" with 32" inseam. Most of my riding will be sport touring in all kinds of weather and I'm looking for all the protection I can get from the elements. Keep in mind that I have been riding Electraglides for some time now. I don't expect the protection of a batwing faring, but I want as much protection as practical for this bike. I guess what I'm really looking for is enough opinions from riders that have used these windshields so that I can use your input to decide. Up until now all three seem to have equal good and bad points. So please give me some feedback. Thanks | ||

IMHO you're never likely to find really comfortable wind protection for an XB. For what it's worth, I'm just now about to try out the Zero Gravity extended screen. | ||

You may be right, I'm just hoping I can find someone that has already tried a few different brands. I really can't afford to purchase 2 or 3 windshields to find out by trial and error which one provides the best protection for sport touring. let me know how that Zero Gravity works out. Thanks | ||

Hammer, install some Memphis Shades on the upper fork tubes and the reduction in turbulence will be remarkable on a Uly. Blends in well to. Cheap $70 mod that gives great results  | ||

Also your luck in finding good answers will likely be better over in the big bad and dirty board. the Uly have a different front end than our XBs. I know you're talking about an XT and not an X...but the Uly pros like to hang out over there too. | ||

Thanks, Firstbatch, do you have a Memphis Shades part number for the ones you have? I can see how that mod would help. Thanks, Andy I'm check with them guys too. |
