Personally, I don't give a **** what anyone else thinks but my HD windshield is sitting in a harley bag stored. Meanwhile, the MS batwing is getting used a lot. For me, I like the ride with the batwing much better. Then again, I have the 3-pouch bag and the lowest "windsheild" they sell. If you want to hide behind something, go the HD route though that won't protect your hands or try the MS with a larger shield. Be warned, some may still think you have a street glide with fatboy wheels. LOL

Yeah I agree. I was just wondering what people thought and if any had used them and their experience. Don't get me wrong I love the look of the classic. I guess was just feeding my addiction of spending money on the bike
Quick release options offer the best of both worlds.
I enjoy having a place to come and ask questions and get input on our bikes. Understanding that we dress up the bike the way the individual wants. But I think all of us a little bit want our bikes to look go to others as well.

i can't find the photos of my bike with my windshield mounted on it.. but i'll tell ya, for weekend rides, or anything over like 250 miles, i won't go without the windshield.. it makes a WORLD of difference.
Of course..the first few times you ride with one, you're going to hear a buttload of weird noises coming from your engine..you'll think "man, this bike is going to blow up in a second".. but it's all normal..it's just the crap you hear when you don't have the wind in your ears.
edit:
oh..i figured out why the heck my pushrod covers are leaking. because the gasket kit that Fuel Moto gave me was missing 4 o-rings that go in the middle of the pushrod covers. So i guess this weekend I'll be taking the damn pushrods back out again so i can get the covers off and replace the orings. damnit.

WHAT?! Finally haha! I think we talked about that almost a year or so ago haha.
So I haven't been on here in a while; I've been to busy playing with my Xterra and trying to make it be all it can be... now to start back on the money for the Lo![Icon Beerchug](https://www.hdforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_beerchug.gif)
So I am for sure looking at getting the Hogdeluxe springer bags, Alloy Art rear turn signals, and detachable windshield (300 mile ride had me hurting for a minute afterwards) buuuuuut, I also noticed on that long trip that on the real bumpy and hilly roads along with the sharp curves that had some bumps while riding 2-up, I was scraping pretty hard and at times I even cringed a little. I have gotten a nice couple scrapes on the end of my exhaust tips, so that hurts a bit... So I guess what I am getting to is the Shotgun Shock... will this help with the scraping and possible bottoming out on those bumps in the curves and out on the open road? And, is it worth it? That is a mighty big bill to look at so I am trying to see if I really really want/need it...
