Reckless Fairing Windshield
I was wondering if anyone out there,that has a Reckless Fairing, has replaced the cheap windshield they ship with the fairing? I know there is Long Ride Shields, but I am looking for other options.
Thanks D

I'll be going to freedom shields on Friday to test fit a bunch of shields. My shield is the USA trailer one, but I'll post measurements when I get the shield so others can compare.

I have a Reckless and did a dealer/online search for a shield about 4 inches taller with no, NO, replies. So I took the bull by the horns and used some 1/8" plexi glass I had laying around and my handy Drimel and sandpaper to make a test shield. I really like the effect of the taller shield, may try one an inch or so taller, at this price I can get things 'just' right. In the pic you can see the larger fork shields that I also made from the plexi glass which works GREAT, really keeps the wind and rain off my legs. I painted them with Dupli-color "EFFEX". I planned to paint the shield, BUT, I kind of like the clear shield. One other thing is that I have not experienced any star-burst effect from lights at night.
Super-Visibility! Still, I have options

 Home Depot? About 10 years ago I did a honey do for the boss lady that required the plexi, I got a full 8' X 4' sheet and that is what I used for my shield. Heck it could have been Grainger.  Truly sorry about that but for sure this stuff last forever  .03 Nomad 1500 fi |

No worries. It seems expensive for a single shield, didn't know of you'd found a good price somewhere. I'll stick to the freedom shields plan for Friday
