It really depends on the individual Matt! My son will never put one on his Sporty. He calls it a wimp shield. But me! I like mine. Keeps the wind blast off so I do not tire as easily and makes the rain not hurt as bad. But then again I have twice as many years on me than my son does.

I never had a windshield until last Summer me and my girl at the time was rollin down the highway about 75mph when a cloud formed in front of us and too late! A swarm of honey bees will make a mess on your face and upper torso at 75mph! I got a high tolerence for pain...but dayum! Had to pull over and pull stingers out.....since then....sometimes a windshield and sometimes not...depends on the cruise. If you think it won't happen to you...you have not ridden enough.

w/my arms on the apes I become a parachute... every trip back from daytona I say I'll get one. still don't have one.

I say no, sporties and windshields don't mix; unless your cHarley.
