For all who make fun of us geezers just remember one thing. Your day is coming. I personally like my windshield. Saved me from a chunk of truck tire on the freeway.

Just made the move to touring/fairing/windshield bike world.........30 Years Ago.

Geezer???? Maybe.
Comfortable???Definitely!!!!

To all bikers that have (finally) made the move to the touring bike/dark side (comfort, tunes, etc).

Welcome.

Smart requires no apology.

Out in California rented 2007 electraglide like mine , buddy wanted to try a street glide. (has a softail)...stock windshield on mine he had the little 5" one.
We swapped , I lasted 5 miles and wanted the electra back. my helmet straps beat the crap out of me..

I love my couch

This highly unscientific poll was a true success. 30 to 4 in favor of the wimpshield. Maybe we should try this in the Sportster section?......Me thinks the outcome might be a tad different.....

I'm only 30 and I don't think I could without a fairing/windshield anymore. I just installed the new Klock Werks 12" Flare windshield on my 09 RG. It actually is about 4 inchs shorter than stock but the airflow is 100 times better than stock. I'll post pictures of it when I get home.
