First Ride with Windshield
Installed a H/D standard quick attach and went for my first ride, wow this could get real easy to get use to, I do prefer the no W/S look, but I do like the difference in the wind not beating on you. Most likely remove it when the morning temps rise a little.
I was wearing a half helment, no real buffiting at 60mph.
It will be great riding to work in the morning.

RE: First Ride with Windshield
Yeah, windshields are nice. I never had a bike with one before, but when I bought the Super Glide I knew I was going to be riding in the winter, so had them put it on. I thought putting a windshield on a Dyna was going to be a crime against humanity, but it sure makes a cold ride pleasant. And on the highway it's almost like being in a car. I'll probably take it off in the warm weather for rides along back roads, but I'm putting it on any time I have to get on the Interstate.

RE: First Ride with Windshield
I was riding w/o mine last summer, had my jacket open then POW! I got nailed in the sternum by a big ol' bee. Felt like a rock, left a nice stain on my t-shirt. I still ride without it on the backroads, but in the cold weather and on the hwy it's on the bike.

RE: First Ride with Windshield
I agree with most people here -- bike looks better without it but it cuts the wind a great deal and makes it easier to ride in cool weather.
That said, do you guys find that the top of the windshield is right in your sight line ? I find myself crouching down lower than usual on the bike to look under the top of the windshield.
