Re:Memphis Fats Windshield 3 Years, 3 Months ago

Thanks everyone for the advice. I spent a few more hours adjusting height and angle,, then riding until I got the best result. Just got back from a 297 mile ride and really enjoyed the windshield stopping the butterflies instead of my chest or helmet visor. Butterflies are especially heavy this year in central texas. One of you suggested I install lowers but not Memphis Fats lowers. What do you suggest?
