Hello all,

Was wondering your opinion on getting a windshield or a fairing for a fat bob? I love the look now without anything. It looks so badass. But I also wanna cut down on wind and bugs beating the crap out of me. What are your opinions in what looks better? If you could, could you please post pics.

Thanks,

I put the Harley quick detach on mine and I hate it, it does a great job of keeping the wind from hitting me directly but sure beats my head up. I have raised, lowered it, tilted it, cut it down, and It still isn't great. Some guys never have a problem though.

 

I did the same, ended up with MS Batwing. Not perfect but better than the Harley quik connect by a long shot.

 

Have had both, fairing all day

 

Have the quick detach, certainly get less beaten up with it on but as others say I prefer bike without it. Only put t on for touring distances/trips when also run bags as per picture.

 

Yea, I was looking at the MS Batwing fairing. As I do enjoy the look. Is it easy to install?

 

I went with the Deflector Screen DX from National Cycle (smoke). Very functional and very inconspicuous. Rock solid mounting.

 

Very easy.

 

Cheapest way out is to wear a full face helmet if the wind is getting to you. I find it a whole lot cheaper than putting an ugly windshield on. I like riding with the ff. You don't get fatigued as oppose to riding without.

 

I would love to ride without either but it is just too fatiguing for me so I went for the minimalist look - clear Windvest. If you go this way, I recommend getting the tallest one:
