I've never had a wind screen on and I usually do 2 hours of highway driving a day. I am going to have to get one to see what all you guys are always raving about.

I ride without. I find it is too hot with it in place. Besides I ride to feel all the elements of life. Anyone ever try those Corbin Trim Tabs? Might be a good alternative.

I rode my Low Rider home from the dealer without it. Windshield went on before I rode it again.

You will find that a big black bird hitting your windshield at almost 70 mph is a lot better than into your chest or your head. I know, one hit my windshield about a month ago.

Want to get a quick-release one for mine, and plan to use it only occasionally, but I think after using it I may change my mind.
