The 98 Standard that I got has a Memphis shield, does a horrible job of creating a decent air pocket. Any opinions on who makes a replacement shield that most closeley follows the lines of the OEM shield. I see lots of opinions that it was an excellent shield.

Clearview makes an excellent replacement for or alternative to the OEM wind screen.  However, they sell the shield only; you will need the OEM mounting hardware.  Terry

Don't know about the OEM but Rifle makes a good shield. They make an extra wide so you can get a 22" wide, 24 ", I think the others are 26" and 28".  Also can get different heights.

Memhis comes in a fats and slim size as well as different heights. Possibly the shield is the wrong size for you. Check out their website.

I replaced my OEM with a Clearview. . . .  a few years ago. It's been a great windshield. It's much thicker than the OEM and you can get it wider/taller to fit, (Mine is 3" taller, 2 inches wider.) Because of the thickness and material it's built from, you easily can buff any scatches out of it and make it 'new' looking. You can also get a 'vent' in it. I can't tell you how many times that vent has been appricated. I would guess the majority of Valks using after-market windscreens are from Memphis AND that means something, eh? I don't want to start an argument - to each their own - but I personnaly have never liked the look of most of the Memphis Shades I've seen. The Clearview looks like (and is) a bigger, better made OEM. That's the "look" I wanted. . ..  The people at Clearview will help you out with any issues/concerns you have as well.   Foozles correct however; you'll nneed your original mounting hardware. Good luck  cooldude
