I said I would never get a windshield cause the looked too "old man", but I sold my 03 FXST and bought a 09 FLHT because the wife and I ride two-up so often and now I dnt feel beat to hell after a ride. One thing I also noticed was that I "ALWAYS" have cold hands when I ride, could be 75 out, dsnt matter what gloves I buy...still cold but now I ride when it is 37 out and because my hands are tucked behind the batwing they hardly ever feel cold. I guess I might look "old man" riding but when I get off I dnt walk liek im an old man.

I don't know how guys ride day in and day out without one. Just the rocks and bugs alone are enough not to mention the fatigue of a few hundred miles of riding. I do admit though that I really want another bike to ride other than my Ultra. A family member has a Buell and I just love the open feeling.

I have one of those....
And I have a windshield and I love it.
And I personally think the red mistress looks hot all dressed up. I ride her a lot. Just got back from a trip DC to white Mts in NH and back (about 1400 miles by time I returned). I would not want to do that without a windshield esp cruising up 95.
Her she is with luggage on her back at the top of kangamangus highway
and what she looks like daily (well now she has chrome highway pegs)

I've been riding for 35 years and never had a windshield on any bike until I bought my Wide Glide. It had a detachable on it and although I didn't really like the look, I kept it on just to see what it was like. That was it - took it off a couple of times after that and felt like I was trying to hang on with the wind blasting on my chest. Yeah, definately spoiled. Funny thing though: when I got my Ultra, I hated the stock shield and got a short tinted one from LRS so I could look over the top. It comes to around my chin/mouth and I love it. I like the wind around my face, just don't like the feeling of riding in a wind tunnel.
Don't know how I did it all those years. Oh yeah, I was young...
