for the the first time for a ride and won't do that chit again...geez....I felt like I had been hit in the chest, wind noise sucked and worse....I couldn't even hear my pipes!!![:@]

 

I won't put mine back on. When it was on the bike I wasn't feeling any wind on my chest, all the noise around me was distracting and my pipes were way too loud.

 

Yer' soft...and you need louder pipes.

 

I love my windshield, but usually every time I wash my bike, I ride around for the first while without it. I dolike the protection of the winshield. It's the look of the bike without I love.

 

Hey if you're a guy thatloves the shield.. kick it up a notch and slap on a fairing. So while you're protected from the wind you can hear your pipe and some music. I on the other hand love the windand noise and preferno shield. Although I love the tunes way too much, so I have a fairing with a 5" that's basically there for looks.

 

I will not go to far with out my windshield. Around town is ok but out on the road it goes on.

 

No shield here, took and 1800 mile trip over memorial day and had no issues. I am thinking of getting a detachable for trips, but enjoy riding without one. My only concern, and motivation for getting one is getting hit by a rock.

 

I took off the Harley detachable because the only way to enjoy it was to also have those chrome deflectors on the front forks.
I hated that look. But theysure work.

To stay sporty I went with a memphis Shades El Paso.
Love the look and no head baffling
but I do have wind noise in my ears now and the pipes aren't as loud while riding.

 

I never thought i would own a windshield but decided to get one when i purchased the bike . The stealer offered to cut the windshield down for me but i decided to give it a try as is. Right now I could never ride with out it. i took it off one night went about half a block came back put it back on and its there to stay. Like i said i could never see my self riding with a windshield but once you get use to it its hard to take it off
