Grand Cane, LA | Has anyone here tried an Arlen Ness Flip windshield? Wondering how well it works, any problems and etc. And if so, is there any pics on here of one on a Vision. I've heard there are some on the Cross bikes and that some are having problems with the mounting holes cracking but haven't seen any posts of ones on a Vision. |

Moravia, IA | I ordered one.....showed in stock.
After a week I called to check on it.....yep, never was in stock. Might see them in 8 weeks or so (this was about 6 weeks ago, so maybe they really ARE in stock now)
I needed a shield so I cancelled the order and went with a CeeBaileys tinted shield. |

elgin mn | Have had mine almost a year now, is not as tall as stock it is also wider at the top. That being said I personally like it, my co pilot says the protection for her is better!!! |

Grand Cane, LA | Same for me swoop. I ordered mine last week and Ness sent me an email saying it won't be in till 6/1. Kind of the reason I decided to ask about it on here to make sure if I wanted to keep it on back-order or cancel it.
Thanks for all the replies. I was surprised that there hadn't been very many comments about it here. I wish they would have offered in clear also. I know on the "other" Victory site there were several people who had it on their Cross bikes but not much on the Vision there either. |

| I'm 5'10 and run ness shield all the way down 95 percent of the time , also it has different. Lines to it and it makes the vision look bad ass. |

| I got one on my 8 ball and really like it...it seems to work a lil better than the stock vision 8 ball windshield...plus the color matches the 8 ball theme 
Get you one...you won't regret it.
Cheers!!

Orlando, FL | I am always amazed at the lack of simple information when buying many motorcycle accessories. Like WINDSCREENS! Vic just says something like Tall, Med, Short, Blade. HUH? And I can't find anything for the Ness Flip. Anyone care to measure the shield at the centerline and let us know how tall this shield actually is??

I'm considering changing mine to a smoked windshield, just not sure which one. This is a 16" Cee Bailys on my 08 
Dont have a better picture....sorry. Overall I love it. Tinted is the way to go.....looks good but you can still see thru it, even in the dark. Im 6ft4in and I usually ride with it all the way down.....if I need to maybe just a titch up. If I wasnt as tall Id likely order a shorter one.

| Going with tint, no doubt. I'm kinda leaning toward the Ness windshield. I rarely look through it anyway. |

| the ness flip is 13 7/8 inches tall measured in center of shield from top edge to bottom edge, it looks small but works much bigger. |

Land O Lakes, FL | I thought about this one, another guy I talked with loved his. Since I like to look through my shield I went with the stock +2" shield. |

Orlando, FL | Thanks kjb!! That helps a lot. I have a 15 inch Gustaffson flip and it could be a little shorter. The Ness just might be a good choice for me. |

Bullhead City, AZ | Saw one at the SW Victory rally in Laughlin. Looked like a mushroom from the Mario Brothers video game when it was all the way up, but it may work great |
