Might do better asking on the 1800 board

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...

You can't do much about the length of your life, so focus on the width.

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....

I 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 ?

Check out Bill Havins fairing build on the 1800 board.

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.

Too much buffeting and the angle (or lack there of) sucks.
