can you see over top of the windshield bag? nice set up

 

Yep, that shield is only a 6" I believe, so generally I'm looking over that, but even if I slouch real low or look THRU the shield for some reason, I'm still looking over the bag. Don't even think about it usually.
And thanks :-)

 

Faring looks good. I have been considering one for some time now for long trips.

 

thought about that too, but then remembered i don't have a labia , lol

 

I'm just getting old I guess. The long rides are getting harder then they were 30-40 years ago. Lots of injuries and wounds over the years all add up.

 

you and me both brother. used to be able to do the 500 mile days with no problems. after one now i gotta sleep a lot. the wind beats me up. i just don't like a windshield cause i get a lot of helmet chatter

 

I have a windshield but hate using it. to much air turbulence from below and it pushes my jacket up over my shoulders. I even tried the fugly fangs but nothing stops it but to ride without the shield. I am good for 300 miles a day that way but it beats the hell out of my shoulder which has had 4 surgeries due to and IED.

 

although i love to ride my bike, my body had been beaten up so much i don't think i'll ever have a completely comfortable day. But we're still above ground to enjoy the good days

 

I've never ridden with a conventional "windshield" (that clear bullet thing that is common on the other softails) so I can't speak of that, but this batwing eliminates most of the turbulence for me. Only a tiny bit of helmet rattle (and really not even all the time), so little that I got used to it and it doesn't bother me now. Like I said tho, I have the recurve Long Ride Shield which is supposed to throw the wind higher, thus allowing a shorter shield. The fangs do make a difference but if they were easier on and off I'd have them off more than on, probably just for seriously longer trips. I bought the batwing for multiday long rides, but have found that I kind of like having it on. But I also got it because it does come off so easily as sometimes you just NEED that wind in your face.

 

An absoluteley beautiful day today to have two of my favorite babies out!!!
