mounts easily with with mounting kit sold separately looks good. But I expected it to flip the wind over my head. It stops the wind from hitting you in the chest but thats all. I think the top of the shield could have had a curve to it. to flip the air flow up higher. To install on my 2007 Low rider the quick mount kit had to be slid up to its highest point and the adjustment on the windshield had to be slid all the way up to clear the headllight.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to buy the mount kit separately?
Yes — the Quick-Release Mount Kit is sold separately. The shield attaches to that kit, which bolts to your bike's frame.
Can I remove this windshield without tools?
Yes. Once mounted, the Switchblade releases with your hand — no tools required to pull it off.
What's the difference between this and a standard windshield?
The Quantum hardcoating resists scratches and UV damage better than standard acrylic, and the quick-release design lets you pop it off in seconds.
Is it covered under warranty?
Three-year manufacturer's warranty against breakage from normal use. Impact damage may vary — check the warranty card for details.
Will this fit my pre-2006 Softail?
No — this shield is engineered for 2006-2023 Softail 49 models. Earlier Softails use different frame dimensions.

I'm pleased with the quality and ease of use.
Looks great and was very easy to install. It performed exactly how I wanted it to..
Love it. Takes the wind blast of your chest up through 80MPH. And looks very sporty on my Super Glide Custom. Black on black.
