Has anyone used the windvest windshield, or know of anyone using one. I know a guy who doesn't have a bike any longer and asked me if I'd like his like new 14" windvest. I ride a 2008 HD Fatboy and don't know how it will look or if it works.

My buddy has one on his Fat Boy. He likes it because it takes the beating from his chest and it doesn't disrupt the look of the bike like a big windshield would. Also, it can be removed pretty quickly.

The good guys out at Livermore H-D in NorCal let me put a WindVest on my '04 Fatboy, and try it out on the freeway for myself. I had heard very good things about WindVest from others, but my experience was it didn't block enough wind to be a good as a taller windshield (predictable) and wasn't really much better looking either - sort of the worst of both worlds, neither fish nor fowl. I'm 6'2", so my height may have made it tough for a small screen to be as effective, but regardless of adjustment, the wind ended up hitting me flush in the face rather than on top of the helmet. I also thought the WindVest mounting brackets were bulkier than the HD ones.
I'm not knocking the product, it certainly appears well made and has many fans, but I'm glad I tried it first...your mileage may vary!
