Rune Windshields

to me...if you were going JUST BY LOOKS.....the Windvest wins. However, the Windvest only offers a limited amount of protection. It is just the right compromise for me....GREAT looks...that do NOT ruin the look of the bike....and SOME protection...enough to let me ride with half helmet and sunglasses only...with no tears or stuff in my eyes.

some taller folks mention some wind buffeting over the top. I'm just under 6 ft....and it is just fine for me on any length ride...any speed. Does it offer as much protection as a FULL shield? NOPE....it's only 16 x 16 inch! If you want FULL protection, better go with one of the other ones.

But if you want GREAT looks and GREAT quality mounting, go with the windvest. It's better than riding with no windshield...and looks more like it came with the bike. that's MY take.

By the way, the pics on Iamruned bike (post above) are the next best looking to me....better than the Memphis shades....at least to ME. I've yet to see one that looks AS GOOD as the Windvest. I have no doubt though that these other newer ones function BETTER at keeping more wind off ya'.

Link for Windvest is found on Small Vendor page under the announcement that has links. Hal at Direct Line also has Windvests....and his price is LESS than you can buy direct from Windvest. Hope this helps.........

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......

pls tell me how or what you used for the rubber ball mounts.
