Installed the boulevard windscreen today. Got this used screen from Bad_Max, he gave me a very generous deal and shipped it like lightning. Thank you Bob!..
I did a few mods to the shield, first I broke it down and stripped the clear coat off the aluminum and rebrushed the finish,
Painted the backside of the plexi flat black and painted the face of the shield and the mounting brackets a texture coat black. The aluminum really "pops" now without the clear and the overall look is working for me...
Got a really good peg scraping ride in this afternoon.

Very kool Greg!
Now you got me thinking, maybe I should get that clear Victory shield like the one I'm using and give it a similar treatment Then I could get a change out of the "gloss" look

How long does it take to mount the touring windshield? Is mounting and taking it off too much of a pain in the ass to do frequently?

Cordless drill with an Allen type socket, means less than 5 minutes to swap out shields.
