When it warms up it comes off. I use it for windy days and when I am on the interstate for longer rides. I put it on yesterday wind gusts to 40mph in Dallas.

I usually keep the windshield off if I'm just riding around town. If I plan to get on the interstate or any stretch of road where I plan to be hitting 60 MPH and higher for a period of time, I'll put on the windshield.

Of course, after hearing some of the near miss stories here, I may be rethinking that position.

ok maybe I'm the odd one here I love my windshield
I can not see how riding at any speed over around town speed is comfy with out one
I am one of thos that very rarley see's speeds under 50/60 I like to go fast and quite
often run 80/100 so a windshield is a must if I wnat to hang on very long.

Bought a wind shield yesterday and put it on last night. Rode the bike to work today. This is the first time I've ever used a WS and I LOVED it. Going down Lake Pleasent road I thought I was doing 50, looked down at the speedo and saw I was going a little over 70.

I got the goldilocks effect with the wind in my face- just right.


Ride safe.

Yeah you already got floorboards, once you get a windshield you wont see a reason to take it off...

Speaking of missing things, I was on 95 outside of boston one night and a queensize mattress came off someones car roof, flying thru the air. I made a quick lane change which saved me and my daughter. Some people could careless about us on the road...
