Great that you got a deal on your replacement.  If you get a chance to ride a Standard or Tourer with the OEM windshield give it a try.  I think you will like the wind management much better than the Memphis Shades.  My wife's 98 came with a Memphis Shades and at that time I had a 97 Tourer with the OEM.  It was like night and day.  The OEM is much better.  They cost more, but something about the way they are shaped or the research that Honda put into the development worked.  Not trying to make this a negative post, but just giving you the benefit of my experience.  Smiley

Don't know about the switchblade, what I was attempting to say was that the OEM is better than aftermarket.  Smiley

Think mine is a Memphis Shades. It is all I have ever experienced on it and all I can say is that it beats the wind management on my old Vulcan 1600. On that bike I thought my second grade teacher was back and shaking my head around the whole time I rode at speed on that bike.
