Default quick detach windshield?

Ok, so I'm not real big on adding a windshield to my streetbob because I don't like the look. I plan on several long distance rides over the summer though, and I'm thinking it would be less fatiguing if I put a small one on. I found one that I like the look of on eBay. It's made by gladiator. The only problem os it looks like it's not a quick detach and I can't find anything similar that I could easily remove when I getto my destination. Anyone have any recommendations?

I have the Harley quick detach shield and for longer rides it's great. Not getting beat in the chest for a hundred miles. Pops on and off easily. But like most HD stuff, its a bit pricey. I forget exactly how much I paid for it.

Oh, and it fits really well even with my ape hangers.

Have you looked at FLYSCREEN? If you still want tne wind in your face but want to take the weight off your chest it works. I put one on for winter and it helped. It's small enough that it fits in my saddlebag and can be taken off in 5 minutes or less. I like that it doesnt interfer with my vision either. http://i1326.photobucket.com/albums/...ps28b3e3c5.jpg

I just installed the Gladiator on my street bob. It only takes a couple minutes to install and uninstall.

That's interesting. Haven't seen that one. Does it require tools to remove then?

Mounts to the fork tube and takes an allen wrench, you can slide up or down and forward or back according to your liking.

I picked up a HD quick release 18" windshield.
I love it for the long rides, goes on and comes off in less than a minute.
Doesn't add to the look of my street bob at all, but it doesn't look as bad as I thought it would.
