I took mine off because I hated the look .. but also hated the feeling without. Went with a batwing and never looked back.

 

Same here !! love the raw motorcycle feeling and just looking over the chrome for short rides every now & then. Full Face helps allot.

I only take mine off for short trips. Got on the highway and didn't enjoy 80mph. It wasn't bad but bugs hurt at that speed and don't taste very good at all.

 

I live in the country, have to ride 25 miles to get to work or anything else, and often rode without the windshield. I have to wear a helmet (mil), and with my half helmet I'd have to cinch down tight, and use ear plugs.

I guess that I just found the right angle in which to sit, and perhaps my bars helped as well; I never felt very uncomfortable, except once. Between going 70, and a 35 mph headwind, a 105 mph wind pushing against you will make anyone uncomfortable!

 

LOL!! Exactly!! I go shieldless 90% of the time, but my half helmet starts "parachuting" up at about 70!! I dig the look and love the wind in my face....BUT I'm finding that my shield is on more often these days.....AND I'm getting tired of getting stung in the face by whatever has a stinger!! I got nailed for the 3rd time on sunday and that bitch STILL hurts!!! LOL!!

 

I have the speaker attached to the windscreen... And I *have* to have my tunes!

 

I can relate to the stingers in the face....when I'm rocking 3 - 4 months of full beard, that issue goes away...but policy at work keeps me well groomed.
I pretty much agree with most everyone else here, puttin around town or the once in a while short trip across town on the Interstate...but anything over 20 miles and expecting 60mph or better, WindShield goes on

 

Guess I've gotten lucky regarding stingers, but a june bug just above the goggles at 70 will ring your bell!

 

Never use my windshield.

 

Windshield is off the Heritage most of the time unless going for a distance. And like others have said, it's pretty brutal over 65 or so. Now that I also have a batwing will prob not ride heritage distance anymore, so will prob never use windshield again.
I rode each to work twice this week and the difference is amazing.
