(5 stars) reviewed on 07/12/12 by David V. (DVaerst) from Saint Michael, MN, US, for a 2009 750 Shadow Spirit C2 wrote: Great looking windshield and give my bike a "sporty" look. Very easy to install and once installed, can be removed in about 20 seconds (and that is when I am having a slow day). I added Memphis Shades Lowers and my helmet buffeting has all but been eliminated. You have to purchase the mounting kit separately as it is bike specific. I went with the "No-Tools" trigger lock system. Not cheap, but worth it. Review Details  Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Much better with it on, but very easy to take off as well when you have the trigger lock system too (MEM8929). Very easy to install. Very, very easy to pop on or off.

Sits a couple inches below the eye (I'm 5'8") in full forward vertical position. Got the smoke color and love it. Took a little getting used to the helmet buffet on a half helmet but it wasn't anything major. Keeps the majority of debris and rain from hitting me but still allows sufficient air to the face.

(4 stars) reviewed on 06/29/11 by (matthewstott22) from , , for a 2006 M50 Boulevard wrote: I bought this with the hardware used for 50 bucks. I have the solar tint which makes it almost invisible. It doesn't block all of the wind from hitting my face but it does block 99% of the bugs. I didn't want to ever get a windshield, but I must say I'm glad I have this. I will be getting a bigger one though for when I do long trips. Review Details  Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

(5 stars) reviewed on 05/29/11 by (Stargazer2) from Waldorf, MD, for a 2007 C50 Boulevard wrote: Nice windshield. Brings another look to the bike but I still like open face. I purchase the hardware somewhere else and is not the same Quick Release hardware that is being offer by CC. The quick release I installed did not mount to the forks but required that the turn signal cover and signals be removed then replaced to install. Although the instruction could have been better, I wouldn't trade it in. Its really nice! Review Details  Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

(5 stars) reviewed on 04/14/11 by Mike (buckles) from Edmonton, AB, CA, for a 2009 Black/White M50 Boulevard wrote: Covers my bike well and suitable to the style of the M50 and its proprotions. The mounting hardware attached to the forks were simple enough to install, and needed a a few rides to determine height and rake. The angle the shield sits is just a few degrees more verticle than the overall angle of the forks. The handlebars and cable, etc. do impede moving the shield towards the tank further. So a tight fit fore and aft somewhat but doable for me. I am 5'11" and able to position the top of the shield below my nose without the shield being to far disconnected and open at the headlight. Note* the light cut out unfortunately is not oval, but hardly noticable. Still accomodates well around headlight regardless of chosen install angle. Thus far very durable and kept me out of the elments during ever changing mountain rides. Cheaper to boot than many others. Just tightly hand fasten (or remove) the quick change nuts after removing the shield, or you'll find them missing from ride vibration and ... Review Details  Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

(1 stars) reviewed on 11/19/10 by (ghostrider11) from , , for a 750 Shadow Spirit C2 wrote: Not really effective for the head or much of the body. If set too high the wind gets underneath the shield and onto your body. Still feel the wind against the hands too. Has to be adjusted just right for maximum coverage. Not to mention, doesn't make your bike look any good, but better than other windshields. Should've just went with the ugliest biggest windshield out there to at least cut down on some of the wind.

Easy to Install 30 min tops, and I'm picky as to how everything fit. Slips in and out on the tabs smooth. Seams good and solid but haven't got out with it on thaugh.....weather to cold and wets yet....Will let ya nkow how it works.....Not to sure if I like the looks of it compared to naked bike, but if it suits its purpose it should all be good.

This is nice little shield....I had the Memphis Shades Pop Top on my bike (see my review for it). But I needed something just a little bigger. I did have the Memphis Shades 19" Fats (see my review of it), BUT I JUST HAD TO HAVE a Hondaline lightbar, so it was goodbye to the fats. ANYWAY, the Alley Cat is just the right size for me...my bike still has the sporty look I want. It is 2" taller than the Pop Top & 2" shorter than the Big Shot...kinda like Goldielocks & the three bears....this one's too tall, this one's too short, this one's JUST RIGHT. It's short enough to still feel the wind in your face, but it does a great job of blocking the wind off your body. I'm 5' 10" & it works great for me. While riding, I held me hand in front of my chest & felt very little wind, I slowly moved my hand up & it wasn't until I got to just above my forehead that I felt the wind, the wind goes right over the top my head with no bu...
