Sorry, don't like the Rifle. Saw several in person last October at Biketoberfest. In fact, two of the guys that had them....and saw my Windvest, wanted to know where they could get one. When i told them Windvest was selling them in Daytona on a show special, they went RIGHT then and bought them. TRUE STORY. Took there Rifles off.
The thing i (AND THEY...the two guys that had one) didn't like about the Rifle was the way it mounts. It's a univeral mount. The Windvest mount was designed for the RUne.....and looks like it!
But hey, different strokes for different folks. I wanted a shield that LOOKED GOOD on the bike.....didn't distract from the lines of the bike...had HIGH QUALITY hardward/mounts. The Windvest is all that. But again, it is NOT a full shield. ANd it is quite pricey (about 325-350...but worth EVERY DANG PENNY OF IT!!!!!!!!!). But to keep the good looks of this awesome bike...and keep the lines of the bike...and have a QUALITY mount that looks like it is MADE FOR THIS BIKE, still, so far, the Windvest wins hands down. That's my take. I've seen nothing out there yet to change my mind. I want style and looks.....with a LITTLE function. But the windshield can NOT distract from the bike. Still, the National Cycle offering now comes in a close second. I've seen the Rifle and the Memphis Shades "in the flesh". DIdn't care for either of those.
That's why there will never be a two passenger seat on this bike either :twisted: that just won't work for ME. But then for some, having a windshield wouldn't work either :!:
But again....everyone is different......
