Well, this is certainly the place to do that! These guys can really think up ideas to help put a Fury over the top.

I thought about the Honda windshield but it didn't look like it did much. Now looking into a Memphis Shade as they have come out with a Fury set.

Welcome again.

Yeah, for a chopper,,dont really want a big windsheild,,I wore a full face helmut so it didnt bother me as far as the wind. Yeah ive been searching for a week to find accessories,,I will say this,,if that glass was smoked it would look better,,but my opinion is cosmetic,,thats it
