Not sure about the t bars but I think the best looking windshield on a Street Bob stock is the Mephis Shades Rio Grande.

Here's a pic of twofish's ride. I hope he doesn't mind me using it. I love the way it hugs the front unlike the HD detachable.

Thanks PigInaBlanket. Would you know if this a "quick" detach type windshield ? Does look good though. Anybody else got one of these and care to comment.

Thanks again, Marcusg

Yea it's a quick detach but it isn't as quick as the HD clamps. You have 2 hex screws on each side you have to loosen first. I actually like that better though as it isn't quite as easy to steal.

I have PN# 58346-06, pg. 163, 2008 Parts Book, listed under compact windshield. Compare actual dimensions to other choices, don't just go by the description.

I have the Memphis Shades Shooter in gradient black - I think its about the smallest shield they make. I wanted something as unobtrusive as possible and I think it actually looks pretty good (for a windshield). It's not quick disconnect but it comes off with a couple of socket head screws.

That does look nice Black Bob. Does it provide much protection? How about wind buffeting?
Those Memphis Shade windshields really fit the Bob I think and the price is right too.

I have the standard HD QD windshield but I had it before I got my T-bars. I don't think it really makes a difference what bars you have though. IMO and probably most others, windshields and dyna's don't go together but are a nice thing to have at times. In other words, I don't really like the way my bike looks or would look with any kind of windshield so I didn't spend a lot of time worrying about choosing the right style. You can't beat the ease of installation and removal of the HD QD windshields. When I feel I absolutely need it, it's on in 15 seconds and off even quicker than that. I like the wind in my face and the styling of the dyna's without the windshield up front and I don't mind a bug or two now and then. But, for extended highway riding or wet riding, it helps enough that I'll use it. I'm sure it depends on your climate but I haven't found that my windshield makes a lot of difference for me when it's cold. When it's cold, it's cold with or without it and clothes make more of a difference than the windshield.
