Default I can’t handle windshields on motorcycles

I wear full face helmet, but I used windshield once and realized I’ve never used on any motorcycle before and I hate it, hard to explain but it didn’t feel like I was on a motorcycle anymore, so I’m selling, or I’ll trade for sundowner seat https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softa...l#post17618132

Why complain about it here?
If you don't like riding with a windshield then simply don't ride with a windshield.

If you want to sell your windshield then post it in the classifieds.

To me, a full faced helmet would block a whole lot more wind on my face.

Comes in handy on the superslab at high speed for many miles/hours at a time.

Right, I’ve had some baseball sized rock bugs hit my face shield many times going 80+ so I do strongly believe in full face shield OR windshield, but for me windshields make me feel like I’m in a car, no bueno....

can someone just buy my windshield so I can buy something else black for my motorcycle?... did I already mention, windshield are awesome and you need one! <— advertising again

Different strokes for different folks as they say. The great part about this forum is we are all so vastly different and yet come together to share our bikes and our riding adventures. There are ATFGATFT (All The Fockin' Gear All The Fockin' Time) people and there are people who wear shorts, flip flops, and tank tops. In between is most of us. I'm a very tactile person so I don't like having a windshield and I don't like wearing gloves. But, when winter comes the gloves come out and the chaps come out. I wear a Shoei full faced helmet because I make a living with my brain and aim to protect it as much as possible. I'd also rather keep my face just how it is. However, to each their own and I won't judge.
