Default All weekend with no windshield.

And lovin the wind in my face & bugs in my teeth.This is my first full fairing motorcycle so when its 80+ in California the windshield is coming off for the not so long rides.My friends have Road Glides with low windshields and looking at them from the side sitting at a Red light it looks like the top of their windshields are in-line with their chest, thats when i thought I'm taking my shield off. One more option on this highly versatile motorcycle. And yes i do like the look with out it,with the chrome strip I THINK it's a finished look.IMO

Yeah, ok. I think it's cool. Still looks like something is missing.
But, hey, if you like it, do it!

YA, I get that. Having the wind in my face again was the greatest feeling on a full on touring motorcycle & having the option to go into touring mode if desired.When i first removed it i was thinking the same thing,took it for a ride on Friday and by Saturday afternoon i was sold on the look and feel of this setup.

Your bike looks amazing - love the SG wheels - and great pics - especially the first one. If I was gonna do it over I would do what you have done get an Ultra instead of the SG

Gotta say though that maybe just the SG shorty WS might finish it off...just saying!
