Never had one until I bought my '01 FXDXT. It came with a funky little fairing and adjustibale windshield. Works great! Looks kinda' funny. I've had the bike over 5 yrs and I can adjust it back for more "wind in the face" or forward to block bugs/debris. I will always have a shield on my bikes from now on.

 

Quick detach - on or off in a matter of a minute.

Meow.......................x2. Works well in cold weather.

 

Put a low profile on and like it. Has't affected visual and does keep bugs off. Because of the design of any windshield, extra buffeting around head. Can ride on highway at nice speed in relative comfort.

 

my RoadKing has both the regular height ws that came with it, and I bought the HD blacked-out wind deflector that only blocks air hitting on the chest - I ride with none or the low black deflector most of the summer, but the taller factory ws always goes on in the winter - I ride all year round, unless it's snowing (although I have been caught in the snow a few times) and it's funny, but for some odd reason, I'm usually the only person out there - I can't remember ever seeing anybody else out on their bike when the temperature is at 5 degrees or so, or even when it's a heat wave at 20 degrees.
A friend of mine, who rides with me, said his wife, who hears me go out every day, told him I love my bike, where he just rides his - never heard it put like that, but it sounds about right ......
My '07 Wide Glide has a ws also, but pretty much only used in the winter, or long rides - I'm not much on the way it looks, but it helps me ride all year, so I'll take it!! I go into a deep depression when more than a day or 2 passes and I haven't been out for a ride [sm=boohoo.gif]

 

I have been riding since I was 17 and Im 45 now.I will not ride with a windshield.I will get on the bike and ride hundreds of mles with my friends on Sundays and ride every chance I get.
Its not a look cool go fast deal here,I have plenty of cars if I want that.If I choose to go cross country,Ill follow someone in a truck if needed.
If I get to where I dont want to fight the wind ,bugs and rocks,Ill hang up my leathers and drive my SS..Youll see both harleys for sale.

 

If anyone interested, I have a windshiled for sale.

Thanks.

YES YES YES YES!!!

 

Yes. I like riding for as many months as I can. Once the temp drops below 45, the widshield buys you another month or so. Just installed a 19" Memphis Shades Clear Fats, quick release. For me, I love the looks of my Bobber, but I'm not sacrificing comfort, or that day when it "might get chilly tonight on the way back". I hate the cold. I hate the cold. I hate the cold. But I love riding

 

I have a black tinted windvest. I only use it when it is really cold out or long trips(several days on the highway)
