Is it crazy to want to put a windshield on it? I read that they can be uncomfortable to ride for long stretches because of wind-resistance.
Windshield is a good idea, obtainable from either the Pubei Lu Regal shop or the Jaoji Lu motomart (prolly cheaper). Wrangler has one of these bikes and quite loves it. Not sure what you mean by certifications. These bikes are inspected and certified when they are plated, if the shop can get you plates for the bike you want then it *should* be all good. More information on this topic is available if you look up plates on this site. I highly recommend looking at Dewsnap's and Wrangler's posts (as Euphonius mentions) as they got their Regal Raptors in the last 6 months.

One thing against cruisers (from racking up 20K on a Honda Rebel in China), they can wreck your back on long rides. I modified the seat and shocks on my bike so that I get more of an upright sitting position (shoulders in front of hips). Going over bumps at speed got a bit uncomfortable otherwise. YMMV. My friend is 6'1" and loves his Raptor cruiser as is.
