Im in the market for a windshield and cant make my mind up what I want. I bought my bike with a harley quick detach windshield and quickly sold it because "I was too cool". now since im not so cool anymore I'm looking for another. Have tried the windvest 14 inch model but I would almost rather not have one. Please post up reviews of windshields if you have any. I've been researching the Long Ride Shields. I like the idea of the lip on top to turn the air up. Not so sure about their universal mount. But would like to try the replacement shield on the harley quick detach hardware. I saw a few guys put lower shield things that run down the legs and other types of wind deflection devices. Looking to take some longer trips this summer so im trying to gear up.
Please post pictures and reviews.

****** i rocked a full shield and made the lowers off a touring bike work... it was flat out awesome, came on and off in no time, provided a ton of wind protection... was great! wife and i could carry on complete conversations... was nice... kind of wish i would have never sold the shield some times!

JB,
I have the Quick-Release Super Sport Windshield 57300-06 on mine (well when I run it). It comes with the quick release clamps that leaves no hardware on the forks. You can adjusts it up and down as needed for the windflow. Long trips it is nice to have. I was just looking at it today and looking at the smaller Long Ride Shields, but it looks like the LRS sticks out forward more than the Harley shield.
I was interested in the windvest as you get a shield but doesn't look like you have windshield on it. Did you get a lot of buffeting with the windvest?

The windvest was nice I just think I needed the 16 inch instead of te 14. I'm 6'3. But I really would like one just like joe. I'm going into more of a touring style but all quick detach. Love traveling and the shield, along with bags will help me go that much further. Let me know if you guys run across one. Of course I'll have to black the mounts out. Looks so good like that. Thanks for the feedback
