You and your big route 66 trip has been a huge influence for me. I live in Oslo Norway and this summer i finally got my motorcycle license and bought an old 1996 1200 sportster and have ridden it some 4000km in two months now. Bought a small bikini fairing becuse of tiring wind buffeting but its not enough of a diffrence. Think ill buy this Shield. looks good! keep up riding m8

I'm catching up!! Any kind of wind protection makes such a huge difference on a big trip, especially if you want to do any kind of interstate riding. Lazarus didn't have a windshield at all, so when I started riding I just got used to it, THEN I got a Honda Shadow with a big windshield so going back to not having one was really weird lol Like you said it makes rides a little warmer in the cold, but it's also huge for reducing fatigue on long rides.( duh you also said that lol) I will say when I switched back to Lazarus it was nice to not have to look through a piece of plastic at the scenery right in front of me, but going over 70 felt like I had to hold on for dear life lol

You rode with a motorcycle through route 66....*ends video* 😂. Anyways man love the videos reason on why I got into bikes. Finally got my m1 license too. Just saving up for a bike. I want an iron but the company I'm working for isn't approved by my bank(said the finance guy at Harley). I'm also 21 which isn't the most attractive to banks. 21 is an attractive age to all except banks. And insurance companies. If you decide to sell your bike for a extremely low price I am your man haha. Once I get my Harley Davidson iron 883 I will be sure to get the del rey sports shield WITH the locking mechanism. Also test rode an iron when I was going to buy the bike at Harley and left that same day empty handed. Much love from Cali 🤙🏼 ride safe.

I didn't have to change the throttle or clutch cables, but I definitely had to change the brake line. I have ABS on my Iron, so that added some complexity to the process, but I was able to do it myself and save about $450 by doing so!

Nice review! Few question - does your helmet buffle more with del rey? I’ve got some bad experience with my windshield (around 14”) and bell bullitt - with speed above 90km/h it’s almost impossible to ride! Helmet starts to vibrate like crazy I’m looking for shield with wind line below or above head.
@GreatEgret
@GreatEgret 5 жыл бұрын
Honestly, I think that may be more because of the helmet. I can't say for certain because I've never used the Bell Bullitt. Other things can affect buffeting as well. Your riding position especially. With my Shoei Quest, for my height and riding position with my aftermarket seat and handlebars, I get zero buffeting. Even with speeds as fast as 125km/h. The best advice is to find a shield that meets eye level at the zenith.

The Del Rey looks good on the Sportster. I'm impressed. You mentioned the Cafe fairing, I've been thinking about the Cafe or the Gauntlet. Have you seen any Iron 883's with a Gauntlet, or talked to anyone who rides with one? I'm kinda leaning toward the Gauntlet if it isn't too big for the lil Sporty.

The key to eliminate or reduce buffeting is to have the top of the shield just below your eye level. Adjust the brackets on the forks to make that happen. If your upper body height and seat height are too tall too tall to make that ha, then a taller windshield would be better.

Each mounting kit is bike specific. Memphis Shades includes a signal relocation kit with the mounts for the 48. I'm not sure where they get relocated to though, or if it's similar to Harley's. Here's a link: amzn.to/2IGKHuU The Memphis Shades mounting kit for the 48 number is MEB1985. So look for that one when shopping.

@GreatEgret
@GreatEgret 2 жыл бұрын
@Paul Anfone I had it angled in line with the forks and the top of the shield at eye level. Things like this are really dependent on your bike setup and your height. Buffeting is a funny thing that can be difficult to figure out. The helmet you're wearing can impact this too. If the shield is too high or too low sometimes wind can move between you an the inside of the shield (that's why it's called buffeting). Wind can also come from below. It also may not be the the shield for you. I used two others before I decided on this one for my Iron. I've had my Africa Twin for a few months now and I'm still trying to figure out my setup.

I'm just shy of 5'10. But a lot of factors will impact this. Your ass to top of your head hight, how high your seat puts you up, and how you have your rear suspension set up will all be a factor. To narrow that down a little bit for you, my ass to head is 38" and my step up seat sits me about an inch higher than the stock seat.

Amazon has specific product listing parameters and their fitment recomendations can be confused sometimes.

So that link I have will fit your 2014 (the forks are the same). It can take a bit of fiddling to get the hight you want. If you you get it, let me know how it workd for you.

What is your helmet setup for moto vlogging?

I am WAY overdue on putting out a video for this. Look for one soon. Short answer is I have a GoPro Hero 5 black on my helmet held there with Sugru. I have a Hero 4 session on the handlebars. I record the audio separately with a Tascam DR-5 and sync everything up in Premiere Pro. I do a little bit of mastering and multiband compression on the audio and touch of color correction and there you go.

I’m 5’10” and the mounts are adjustable on your forks, so it might work.

Hi. Quite useful video. And just to know, how tall are you? I'm 6ft tall and wondering if it will work for me.

I'm 5'10", but you can adjust the mounts on the fork to your height. Just raise the mounts up a bit.

Also, if you need a taller shield, the Del Rio is really similar to the Del Rey.

The del ray is adjustable, but it’s not about overall height. My torso is likely not the same as another rider that’s 5’10”. Also your weight and suspension setup will be different than other riders. Look at the height of the shield and if it meets you at eye level based on your forks, then it will be a good fit.

You say the shield is correct for your height. This is non-information if you don't tell us what your height is.
@GreatEgret
@GreatEgret 4 жыл бұрын
Thats a rude way of asking what my height is. However, my height doesn't tell you shit. There are too many factors including your torso and neck length, how high your seat puts you, how you position the mounts on the forks, and even how you sit on the bike. As I said in the video, you want the top of a windshield to be at eye level. I gave you the specs of the shield, what more do you want? Do your own measurements and figure out if it works for you.

Yes, you just need to get the bike specific mounts. The one I have linked in the description to Amazon is the one you need. All the info you need is in the description.

I don't know what headlamp visor you have or how it mounts. If it mounts to the forks, then the answer is no, but the Del Rey would replace your need for a headlamp visor.
