I changed my handlebars, so my answer might not count... Cut down OEM with two sets of Memphis Shades handlebar, mounting hardware, solid as a rock...   -Mike |

Would you mind sharing why? Just curious, not going anywhere with that info. |

I have Boulevard shield (short) and also a Gustafason 15in Euro Flip and can see over that. I would consider a wider shield, but not sure what is the max width I can go on that Boulevard bracket.... https://bikescreen.com/products/honda-goldwing-valkyrie-f6c-2014-2016I doubt you would find a fairing read to fit.....but you can search and someone made one for his. |

Ok, I'll ask if nobody else will. Did you buy a new Valk or working on someone's ?

I agree, Bill's fairing is awesome.
Windshields are as personal as seats are.
I, personally, could not find a windshield that I liked. I went through many different types until I decided to buy a 33" full wing windshield and cut it to my preference. For me, it was the only way to go.
For the hardware, I just used the stuff I got with my first windshield, a Memphis Shades Hellcat and attached the front part of the windshield to the bolts on the side of the forks.
