Was riding home today and got around some traffic at intersections and wanted the windshield down. Its kind of impossible to pull the clutch and lower or raise the shield and thought it would great if all you had to do was just tap the button and shield goes all the way up or down. I'm sure it would be a little safer also. Maybe someone can figure out that mod or Victory can add it in the future.

I for one would not like it as well. I raise or lower the shield to either get or block the air,and I rarely have it all the way up or down. I never thought I'd use that feature all that much,but now I would not even think about gettin another bike that didn't have an electric windshield. But that just my 2 - cents worth.

IF YOU HAVE LARGE HANDS AS I DO, YOU CAN ADJUST THE WINDSHIELD AND PULL IN THE CLUTCH AT THE SAME TIME lol. I DON'T THINK AN "AUTO UP/DOWN" WOULD BE ALL THAT HELPFUL, AS I ADJUST THE 'SHIELD UP AND DOWN A FEW INCHES AT A TIME.

If your shifting wait until hit in your next gear, if your at a light put it in N for a second and adjust it.

If you at a light reach over with the right hand and adjust it.

The auto up or down switchs still allow you to move an inch at a time. I usually ride with the shield all the way up or down rarely anywhere in between so it would be a cool feature to me. Thats all I was trying to get at. I do know how to raise and lower as it is. I've have even been known to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time.

You've got one up on me!

It could be like the Driver's side power window on most cars. A two-position rocker switch. Partial push/hold goes up or down inches at a time. Full push makes it go all the way.
Now everybody is happy :-)

I like this idea as well and have often thought of how to do this. I normally roll it all the way down once I hit heavy traffic and going slower speeds. Would be nice to just hit it once and have it lower all the way and again to have it raise all the way once I have traversed the bumper to bumper stuff. Please keep me in the loop.

I usually have the shield full up on most highways. But when I adjust it it is by increments. When I pull in to park auto down might be nice
