I have some HD gift cards to cash in and am looking to add a detachable windshield to my 06 WideGlide for winter time and long distance riding. I want something that looks like it belongs on the bike. Any ideas?

 

I had to make this same decision just a week or two ago. I had been thinking on this windshield thing for a good long time. I needed a windshield, but unfortunately I am of the opinion that no windshield really looks good on my Wide Glide.

This battle of form vs. function got very frustrating. When I'd find a windshield that looked tolerable, it didn't give me the coverage I wanted.

I knew I wanted a windshield for a few reasons, none of which had anything to do with looks, since I felt they all look bad. I needed a windshield for cold weather riding, longer trips, and sometimes in the summer time there are a few rides we take where the bugs get out of hand.

I finally just caved and got HD's Quick Release Standard Height Compact Windshield (part # 58387-06). The smaller windshields defeated the whole purpose of offering protection I wanted, and since in my opinion any windshield was going to look bad, I might as well get the one that's really going to keep the wind/debris away.

 

I have the detachable HD windshield for mine, but only use it when I'm riding on the highway.

 

IMNSHO, NO windscreen looks as if it belongs on a Dyna. Permanent windscreens are for geezer glides.

That said, I have an HD sport windscreen with the quick release clamps. I install it for my trips to/from Houston and remove it when I get into town. I'll leave it on for cold/wet weather riding or for trips over 200 miles and you can bet it will be on when I do my Alaskapade run from Texas this summer.

 

i just had to buy one for my streetbb0b, since i changed the front end to a wdg. i bought mine on ebay used for 175.00, looks brand new. save from buying it at the dealer for 380.00. the part number is 58387-06it is the quick release one. jackyl
