What a difference a windshield makes....
I attached the stock windshield my RKC came with....Took the scoot on road and worked it to 90+ mph...Now the scoot looks complete with 16 inch apes.....What was I think of riding without the shield.....
Here it is with the shield...

I'm going to try my windshield this weekend with the shield on. My wife don't like riding without it. I actually hate it myself. I've come accustomed to the flavor of junebugs

RE: What a difference a windshield makes....
I rode my bike yesterday without the windshield for the first time in a very long time and found something new. The bags under my eyes flutter in the wind soooo bad, I cant see! I had my regular glasses on, not my goggles. Never had that happen before, but I AM getting older. lol

RE: What a difference a windshield makes....
Bought my Road King a few weeks ago.
Took the windshield off the day I got it home.
I planned on only using the windshield during my long out-of-town trips.
However, thanks to this thread, maybe I'll give it a try for my around-town and weekend country riding too.
I'll see how I like it.....

I figured I'd use mine for only long trips. Ive gotten spoiled though and only take it off when I wash the bike now

I have an U/C I put a short windshield on it, I could not stand the wind buffer. So I put my 10 in. windshield back on. It was like night and day, so I guess I'll sale my short windshield.

Wouldn't think of riding without it. Maybe just in town, after I washed it and was heading somewhere to "dry" it off and too lazy to put the windshield back on.

RE: What a difference a windshield makes....
I am not flaming here...this is just my personal opinion, nothing else......I hate my windshield. I feel like a complete dork when it is on and I hate the look of my bike with it.It does serve a purpose, however.If I am on a longer trip (100 miles or more) I will use it and as soon as I get where I am going I rip it off for the rest of my stay until I am heading back.
Nothing against anyone who uses one. It is just my own thing. [:'(]
