Default Calling FXSTC Owners - Need help deciding on windshield

I am looking for a quick detach windshield for my 07 FXSTC. For road trips a windshield sure would be nice, I'm just undecided on which one's look/work best for the custom.

I use the standard Harley shield, it's the same looking
Shield that's on the heritage. It works great for me, it's a quik
Detach shield.

National Cycle make 2 that have a direct fit quick detach set up. One is called the spartan and the other slips my mind right now. I installs the " stinger " by the same
Company. It's in the pic below. It took a little modification on the hardware kit. But looks fantastic.

The Harley shield comes in 2 heights. Which height do you use/ how tall are you?

Harley wants $400 plus for theirs, I like the fact that it detaches with nothing left on the bike.....but is it worth that much?

I use the harley 19" clear shield. It is only on for cold weather and long rides, it doesn't look horrible but not good enough to keep on all the time IMO

I also have the Memphis Shades El Paso on a 2009 FXSTC. A lot of research, but HD7585's photo and post is basically the one that sold me on it. I like the look of the shield on the FXSTC and i leave it on all the time. So far, no problems with excessive head buffeting. I have Mustang One Piece Day Tripper seat which drops me down slightly and peek just over the El Paso shade.

Running the HD 19" detachable looks good to me but I only run with it on night rides and if I know I'm gonna be on an interstate for a while
