After reading the thread more closely I see that the Memphis Shades Malibu is a universal fit windshield but apparently it works with the hardware provided.  And the same is true of the Memphis Shades Hellcat.  I like the looks of both of these but decided to go with the Secdem.

Has anybody in the U.S. safely ordered from the French site:

I found an English language site source but it appears to be significantly more expensive:

Current set up.
Generic atv windshield available for $50 or less shipped.
This works well for me,gives some wind protection for the hands as well for cold days.
No buffetting issuues. I look just over the top of it. I'm about 6'1 or so.http://s347.photobucket.com/user/kevin_cole3/media/20170522_195330_zps47q7jujp.jpg.html

I've tested this up to the speed limiter with no issues.
Dirty air off if interstate traffic will wiggle the flares at the bottom a bit but the shield stays rock solid.  Great protection at a low price.



Can't get pic to work again. Grrr

Yes,  Ledany on the board was a great help as well and also google   -- English to French and back helped big time.  I would type a message then let google convert and sent to Phillipe and he would send back in French and I would let google convert...............

@postoak : I was waiting for Jerry's answer telling you that the trade with Secdem is safe 
If you need any translation, I can help you anytime. 

[postoak]

Okay, that's good to know.

[postoak]

Okay, I stumbled my way through checkout.  This windshield, along with the driver's backrest I just ordered should make the Valk much more rideable.  I'll post a pic or two when they're installed.

Here is the hardware I used for the top- good for 123mph   I used it on the top and secdem hardware on the bottom.  

[postoak]

I've had my bike up to 125 mph, but don't plan on seeing that again.  Will the Secdem top hardware suffice?

[ledany]

Don't worry about this, it will !

I think the OEM screen is awesome, but I had to cut it down and hook it
to different handlebars before I felt that way about it...

Mike, Do you remember which memphis hardware you used?  Is it possible to get a closer up picture of you mount? I tried to send you a pm but I believe since this is my first post it would not let me.  Thanks Mike

[hubcapsc]

Here's a fair picture of them... two sets... solid as a rock...



I don't have any idea that they'd work on OEM "sport bike" handlebars...

I have a Honda OEM tall tour windshield, but I am still getting too much buffeting at speeds 65 and up. I am considering buying a MRA X creen tour to add to the top of my windshield and wanted to know what the experience has been from other members who have brought the screen? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Hey Mike, there are two things you want to change on the stock screen.  One is the angle of the windshield. A lot of guys on here have just used a couple of extensions at the bottom of the brackets to give the stock screen more of a fork angle, instead of straight up and down. If you do a windshield search on this site, you'll find write-ups and pics. For me, the change in angle was good, but not enough, so I got Madstad to build some brackets that raised the shield up, along with adding tilt.  The main thing this accomplishes is getting air under the screen so that there isn't as much of a vacuum directly behind the shield, which is what pulls the turbulent air in and causes buffeting.  You can see the height and angle of the windshield in the attached pic.

I didn't use the mra, but I did use a similar one from Puig on a low screen that I liked.  It sat quite a ways under my eye line. I didn't like it on the stock shield because it was right in my line of sight.   Good luck!

Thanks for taking the time to reply and the great advice.

I have the OEM tall windshield. I ordered it with the bike Dec 2012 and had to wait for it and the saddlebags to arrive. I think the Windshield must have been an afterthought from Honda. After designing a powerful and Sexy machine , the Windshield in stock position did not work properly and looked worse than it worked.
I acquired some brackets to move the bottom of the Windshield out approximately  1 1/4" . Now it matched the Angle of the Forks but it was to high off the Headlight shell. So using a flexible 18" ruler with a grease pencil i proceeded to draw lines until i was sure the new holes would hold the Windshield square to the bike and low enough to just put my finger between it and the headlight cover.
Job Done! I'm 5 10" and the height is perfect. I can easily see over it or duck down a bit if the rain is too intense. 

Can you send me some more pics of your method to sanctuaryinmobile@comcast.net
I would be gratefull.

I have the Boulevard with the MRA X-Ray set at vertical - works wonderful - I'm only 5'7" I have ordered the OEM tall windshield and am going to modify it and add an F4 Customs vent.

For Sale - I have a SECDEM (NEW) I installed but I didn't like looking through the tinted windshield - too tall for me, especially at night. I was considering modifying the SECDEM by cutting it down and putting the MRA X-RAY on top like I did to the OEM boulevard screen but haven't yet.
Anybody want to buy a new SECDEM???

I have - it took several weeks to get it all together - they use some disabled folks to help put the orders together so I had missing parts and instructions until the boss jumped in and packaged the order himself. Very Nice folks.

I have a Gustafson 15in that was on the bike when I got it.    Saw a post about it being under 100.00 bucks but that doesn't seem to be the case now.

I'm bumping this up.... good info for newbies (like myself).
