Does the SS Stealth come with quick release brackets so I can take it off when I'm not doing a long road trip?
Definitely better looking then the batwing or bullet.

I have the shorty, quick release on order.
I saw it on another Stryker and it looks like it will block the wind and rain from your chest and crotch but, depending on how tall you are, it will still let the wind slap you in the face!
But that's what shields are for right? !!!:thumb:
I'll post up how well it works for me after i install it.
I have a lousy neck after an injury (Broke it) and surgery so I can't ride long if my head's getting whipped around a lot.
I think this will block enough of the buffeting to make for a nicer ride

I am actually VERY anti-windshield. To me, that's a lot of the enjoyment of motorcycling... The wind in your face. BUT, on some of the longer rides, especially interstate speeds, I'm starting to think it would be nice to cut it down a little. Makes for less neck pain on longer distances.
The Stryker is so beautiful the way it is, I hate to put any old ugly windscreen on it. The Stealth looks the sleekest to me thus far. But I would like to be able to easily remove it. I'll have to do some more research.

This is a Memphis Shade's Metric Sport Shield, quick release. They do not list one for the Stryker but this one came off my previous '09 Honda Shadow Spirit 750. As you see it does fit but the shield holes could be a little further apart. But hey, it works and was paid for. Don

Hey Gunny, Now I wonder what other windshields are made for that 09 Honda Shadow Spirit. May open up a whole new window of ideas for our Stryker's.

That is possible. Keep in mind the forks on our Stryker are a little further apart than the Spirit. I never thought to measure the 2 but it’s probably ¼ inch or so. Meaning, the fork tube clamps are not facing forward at 90 degrees. They are tweaked in just a tad probably creating a slight stress. I’ve had the shield off a number of times and adjusted it numerous times and all seems good so far. I wish Memphis Shades would add our Stryker to their line up. Don

I believe this is Memphis shade Demon, or speed Demon with universal mounts. It's my wife's for her 950 but I tried it and think it looks good on the Stryker and does it's job well. Also comes off in a few minutes.

At my age I am now down to 5'10" and it works for me. As Toby said it is fully adjustable in height and angle. I currently have it down on the headlight and looking over it. For touring it can be raised high enough to look through it. I think this medium size shield with its hardware is quite flexible and looks great on the Stryker.
