"I am sure you get your fair share of e-mails that grump, crab or even swear! THIS is not one of them. It's my story.
"I had open heart surgery. When they did that, they cracked my chest cavity open from top to bottom like a chicken, breaking two vertebra in my neck while at it. This dislocated my ulnar nerve (crazy bone in the elbow) and I required three additional surgeries to put me back together SOMEWHAT pain free. A neck fusion, elbow reconstruction and carpel tunnel surgery. Needless to say, as a Sportster® rider I thought my riding days were over. I always ran stripped down bikes, naked if you will.
"So, this spring, my wife suggested I look into a windshield. I snapped back something to the effect 'Let's just put a GRILL cover over the Sporty and call it a day!' (She IS a Saint and smiled, walking away). I did the research and grew fond of your StreetShield EX™ windshield. I sold off some other stuff laying around, and ordered one from Leather Up (company plug, good guys). It came in two days, and 15 minutes later, was on the bike.
"First ride. WOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! NO chest pressure, less arm fatigue, elbow was not aching. I could go with a lighter helmet and eye protection because of less wind drag. The bike STILL handled like a million bucks, the night FLEW by and I needed another. My wife said it had been a LONG time since she had seen me sleep with a smile. Two more rides... BEST rides of many many years! I can ride almost PAIN FREE! While I know you cannot relate to the pain I have been in, suffice to say I am riding with a smile, rather then constant road rage!
"I cannot thank you enough to have provided an American-made windshield that fits my Sportster, looks great, AND provides such great protection! NO more naked riding for THIS ol' boy!
"Next? NIGHT LIGHTS so I can ride evenings with the animals around here! And YUP, YOU will be getting my order!
"The down side? I believe, having looked at the hardware of your rigs, that I will not have to buy another windshield for many many years to come. I regret that I have but one windshield to buy for my Harley! :)
"In all seriousness, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart, you gave me my riding back! Here are a couple of quick shots. Feel free to use this e-mail, the photos, or contact me for MORE praise, and thank you!"
