Thanks so much Big Chief, exactly what I need to know. Personally I love the look of this screen on the Chief, classic Indian. Is it possible the buffeting is coming up from below the screen around the fork legs as is often the case? I wonder if fitting fangs would fix this issue? My understanding was that those two bolts on the quick release screen mounts setup were optional and only there for security. If you want to have it quick release you leave those bolts out. If you want to make it more difficult for people to steal then you leave them in.
I own the larger windscreen that by the way cost exactly the same no matter the size large or small(???) The screw is for security so not just anyone can take your screen without some effort. If you leave the screw off it essentially becomes tool(-) and the fairing can come on and off without much effort.
Man this helps me a lot. I have 10k on my 22DH. I need a solution. Thought maybe it would be this windshield. Now I think I’m just going to wait until Memphis Shades releases the Chief specific gauntlet fairing. I thought about putting the new sport Chief fairing on, but I think you have to modify the Speedo location, adjust the head light, and raise the bars. It’s almost seems like it’ll be thousands just for a windshield option.
Glad to help. Good plan. Memphis shades makes some good stuff. Yeah you're right. I'm also planning on 6 inch riser. Indian nickel and dimes you on everything.
New sub from the Canadian Prairies. Kinda starved for Indian content. Riding a 2021 Springfield. Wonder if Indian offers a solo seat grab rail in black for that saddle. Great looking motorcycle, man.
Also I didn't mention in my other comment but the bigger screen does a great job at keeping wind off helmet and upper chest but not much for lower torso. I wear a vest usually that I don't button or zip up when I ride and with the screen installed the vest flies all over the place. Naked without the screen the wind presses the vest against my body and makes it more manageable. The downside is now I'm pummeled in the chest and face. I can only imagine how the smaller one will be which I will be purchasing regardless sooner or later for the styling aspect when I am driving around town 0-40mph and not on high speed roads.
Would love to hear your general review of the chief. Also, how does it compare to the Bobber / Super Chief with the fat front tyre (if you've ridden one to compare)? And would also be interested in your reviews of the FTR. Good work so far buddy keep it up!
Hi Big Chief, that windshield looks great! I’m 5’6” do you think it would work for me? Also can I ask what seat that is you have? I love it and wouldn’t mind buying one myself. Thanks great video.
I think the windshield would work for you. I'm pretty tall. Also I think Bile I Like BIL made a fix to reduce buffeting. The seat is from Indian. It's the comfort seat. Super comfy.
I purchased the Sport Chief fairing with the mid screen myself. However it's been a month now and I'm told there is no current availability date for when it will be built and shipped to me. Expensive also, but hoping it will be well worth it.

I have a scout, put a windscreen on and it didn't do crap for me, looks good but the wind is still an issue.

I ordered the new quarter fairing with the tall windshield. Will see how it works. Fingers 🤞

I think the new shroud on the sport chief is inner changeable. Looks better imo.
Agreed…. Already order mine. Will be delivered may12th!

Im in the same boat. Been waiting since this video. They told me delivery by May 12 but that came and went. Disappointing.
That's a good looking bike. Get the tall windscreen with the fairing. I rode the sport chief with the tall windscreen. I'm 6'0". Worked just fine.
Your bike looks awesome. I am thinking about buying one just like it !
@@antonthemanton3065 do it! You won't regret it!
Super cool pipes !
Thanks brother!
What levers are you using? They look goos and am interested in changing out my stock levers.
Added a video to answer your question.
I have been looking for a used one for my CBDH. Maybe we can work something out and I can take it off your hands. Let me know.
Needs a good home.
@@bigchief113 not sure how to DM on TH-cam but for sure interested.
Just got that windscreen and it is tooless you don’t need those screws on there
Thanks! A few viewers have told me that but it seems unsafe not to have the screws in. Seems like the bracket could slip out without the screws.
I just gave your channel a plug Big Chief. ;)
Thanks for the referral BIL, these are short and sweet. Liked and subscribed.
@@kenbowlus2995 Thanks Ken!
What exhaust is that?
Freedom Performance shorty combat
Thanks for the video. I think I’ll go with the 23 inch”old man” version. I agree btw, lol! Getting it strictly for riding to Sturgis.
Great review!
If u wanna sell the wind screen it I’ll buy it.
👍
