Hey everyone,

I figured I'd ask yet another question to find what yall have tried and foudn to work. I do alot of freeway riding, and expect to be taking many longer day trips and maybe some overnighters in the near future. I also expect to be riding when its 40 degrees out (trying to get all the riding in that i can while i can) I have had many people swear by windshields, and they have reccomended that I get one adn that I'd enjoy it.

I have seen the HD removabale windshield and can get it online for $280 or so. What are soem windshields that yall have tried and enjoyed?

Thanks.

MH

 

Got the HD Detachable windshield. It works great and is on/off in 1 minute. Leaves no hardware on the bike when it's off. I used it all winter for riding to work everyday and on the weekends. I completely recommend it.

 

Got the detachable windshield for my 1200 and it has only come off for cleaning. I haven't gone anywhere without it ever since putting it on.

 

I have the HD low profile quick-release detachable for my 1200C. I like it a lot

 

the HD detachable is the only way to go. It goes on and off in seconds, and it still looks good.

 

+1 On the HD quick release, leaves nothing on the bike and it looks good and works good. I think it's worth the bucks. Ride safe. ( 08 1200C )

 

I USED THE QUICK RELEASE FOR FOUR MONTHS THAN i TRADED THE BIKE. i STILL HAVE WINDSHIELD AND INTERESTED IN SELLING IT. LET ME KNOW. I NEVER TOOK IT OFF UNTIL THE TRADE

 

The detachable is the way to go even though I never take mine off

 

Another plug for the HD detachable windshield. I have one on my XL1200L and I like it alot.
There's been some discussion concerning how high it should go. I can just see over the top of mine and it works well for me.

 

Harley uses a softer plastic that is more forgiving in a crash, but is less durable. Memphis Shades has a harder tougher plastic that is less forgiving in a crash. From what I've heard you will do well with either brand.

A biker with 280,000 miles under his belt advised me to go with the Fats. I don't know how you could improve on the Fats in terms of function and durability. But, then again I haven't crashed into yet!
