Default Smallest Quick Detachable windshield

Who makes the smallest quick detachable one?

I have decided the for more than 200 miles in a day I need something...... a flyscreen or just something to deflect the wind and bugs.....while in general I am against the windshield "look" I think I may need one just for longer trips.....

I bought one for the longer trips, but I NEVER use it! At least it's there in case I want it, but I'm wondering if it was really worth it.

I ordered one of these Monday:

Not very big, and I thought it would look pretty good on my scoot. Soon as I get it on, I'l let you guys know what I think of it.

I have the National Cycle Adjustable Deflector Screen on mine and it is perfect for highway and long trips. Check out my gallery for a picture of it.

I got the Memphis Shades Del Rey in gradient black for my Nightster. I don't like windshields, but wanted something for long trips. They looked so good after I installed them (quick release trigger lock hardware) that I leave them on most of the time.

I have found that anything short of a real windshield is a waste of money, if you're only going 200 miles get a pair of googles and grow a pair!!
There is so much crap on the market that doesn't work it's unbelievable!!!

Harley sells a compact low profile quick detachable windshield. It's shorter than the compact quick detachable. I have one, I like it. The regular compact quick detachable feels like I'm on a sailboat riding on the highway.

Do you have a picture of your bike with the Memphis Shades Del Ray on it?

Also, does it come with the quick release hardware, or did you buy that separately?

Thanks
