This windscreen is top notch! Excellent value for the money, much cheaper than Harley's options and worked very well.
I was pleasantly surprised how thick the material is, it's almost identical to thickness of stock Harley windscreen. That's very important, one other less expensive windscreen I purchased on Amazon was so thin I was worried about breaking the fairing when I tightened it. This mephis shades windscreen is extremely high quality and should not be compared to the cheap options on Amazon, it's worthy of comparison to the official Harley options.
It looks great on my Electra glide standard. Blocks the wind perfectly for me, I'm 5'10" sitting on a saddlemen road soda. Initially I felt the screen was too low, but after my seat broke in, the screen hiwght was perfect.
If you're on the fence about which height to get, I honestly feel there's no downside to purchasing the taller screen. The taller screen will give you lots of great protection. I'm happy I picked the 6", fits my setup (saddlemen seat, my height and body type) perfectly. I think the 6" looks cool, only the bottom half is tinted so the top of the screen pretty much disappears when you're checking out the bike.
Overall great purchase, excellent value, less expensive that Harley option, fits perfectly, very strong/sturdy and looks awesome! I highly recommend the windscreen.
Well, Wow! What a nice surprise as to how nice this windshield works. With the stock shorty my 2015 FLHXS Street Glide Special at 80 mph I felt a fatigue producing head buffeting and problems enjoying that great Boom Box. BUT NOW with the Memphis Shades 6.5 in. Spoiler Windscreen at 80 mph and even above there is no, YES NO - head buffeting! Gr8 fitting - easy 5 minute installation - can't say enough - gr8 riding- get out there and a Ride!
Got a '19 Street Glide and rode a few times with the stock windshield. Mostly did fine, unless I'm doing 70 + with my half shell. With this, any speed and any helmet (I'm 5'11" with a 32" inseam).
Love the smoke shading, easy to install and deflects the wind just enough to minimize getting beat up at higher speeds. Perfect replacement shield for Street Glide Special.
Buy it. It works wonders. Clarity is great. 8.5 inch is about the same height as my chin and greatly reduced the wind when compared to the 4 inch sticker.

Specification
From the very beginning phases of conceptualization, the sole purpose of creating the all-new Hornet X2 was to offer serious dual-sport enthusiasts the perfect helmet for all corners of their journey.
Striking the optimal balance between on-and-off-road form and function is no easy task, but in the end, the Hornet X2 defines what we all love most about dual-sport, adventure riding; it knows no bounds.
Designed to maintain peak performance in every condition thrown its way without compromising the core values of a long distance touring helmet, the new Hornet X2 is a true all-road, all-element helmet.
Design Concept: At first glance, you'll quickly admire the design characteristics that make the Hornet X2 a true hybrid between a premium road and off-road helmet.
The mouthpiece and chin bar area incorporate the best features from both worlds; its shape was designed to improve air intake and ventilation performance, all the while giving the rider the additional air space needed to accommodate heavy breathing during demanding off-road riding.
Description
Abandoning the traditional mouthpiece of an off-road helmet, the Hornet X2 provides the additional protection needed when weather conditions become adverse, and the multi-stage lower vent shutter allows the rider to fine-tune airflow for every riding condition. V-460 Visor: The Hornet X2's all-new V-460 visor spent countless development hours in SHOEI's wind tunnel and on the road to perfect the proper balance between aerodynamics and traditional visor functionality. The innovative "wedge" shape along with strategically placed vent louvers allow wind to pass through unobstructed during high-speed riding, ultimately reducing lift and drag. Along with superior aerodynamic qualities, the V-460's shape was strategically designed to push air into the Hornet X2's upper air intake for optimal cooling, all the while maintaining its fundamental purpose of providing sunshade and roost protection during off-road riding. Rounding out the V-460's innovative features, easy-to-operate quarter-turn screws allow for quick removal and installation of the visor without the need for special tools. CNS-2 Shield: Along with the Hornet X2's large eye port, SHOEI's all-new CNS-2 shield offers unparalleled vision across the entire optical range. In addition to protecting against 99% of the sun's damaging UV rays, the CNS-2 shield offers a distortion-free view thanks to SHOEI's 3D injection-molding process. Additionally, an innovative rib on the top edge of the shield improves rigidity and eliminates bending that may occur during opening and closing. QR-N Base Plate: Coupled with the all-new CNS-2 shield, the Hornet X2's QR-N base plate system facilitates quick and efficient shield changes for easy adaptation during your journey. The strengthened spring-loaded base plates pull the shield back against the improved window beading to ensure a dust, wind and waterproof seal with each and every closure. A new shield locking mechanism rounds out the Hornet X2's advanced shield system. Pinlock®
Looks great on the bike and fits good helps a lot with the wind for as short as it is
Great wind screen. But at about 90+ it creates some weird vibes in the handlebars. Normal riding its great. Bugs dont hit my face anymore
Works great on my street glide. Pushes air over me and my passenger. Definitely recommend the ghost shield over full tint.
This was the perfect height windscreen, fits like a glove (took less than 5 minutes to install) and the quality is awesome.
