no more windshield
I've owned my 06 RK for about a year now and today was the first time I removed the windshield and went for a serious ride. \\; This might sound crazy but it rode like a whole different bike. \\; It ran better, I could control it better, it cornered way better. \\; It was like I was on another bike. \\; I think it even looked better. \\; Am I nuts or can removing a windshield make that much of a difference?

Go ride on the highway for \\;long enough and you'll want it back. Trust me. Mine has saved me from lots of large bugs and rocks too, I might add. I do understand what you're saying though. I also like the look better without it.
 \\;
I usually ride a day or two without it, after washing it, but it's back on for highway riding.

RE: no more windshield
I ran my 05 roadking for 400 miles without a windshield one day. \\; it was so much nicer to ride, but the weather was beautiful and i had a plump full T-bag to lean on. \\;Getting around semis was like a bead blaster to the face but great besides that. \\; I also ran 100 mile without last weekend and nothing to lean on, was pretty stiff and sore in the shoulders and neck when i was done, and im only 25, i woulda thought i could handle it better than that!
