Welcome to the Sport Glide family. Once you dial in the hands and but and this bike has a great triangle. Lots of conversations on wind mitigation. I would consider @HuntWhenever to be the definitive master of all things wind-related.

Congrats. You will end up playing the windshield game. Best new one is the Freedom Shield, 12 inch. Its wider at the top. Slip Streamer touring flip is another decent one. Both these are around $130.

Let us know if you find a bag guard solution. I've been wanting to do that since day one, but didn't find a good solution. I haven't looked around for a while, though.

I ordered these today, they are from a guy in Poland. I emailed him today, he said they are made to order and he is about 4 weeks out. I got the gloss black, total cost shipped to me is $136.35:

I just got back from a short ride after dinner. I definitely need a new windshield! My Arai helmet was no where near as noisy on my Sportster.

Nice colour and tank graphics and as you're probably finding, handling wise it will **** all over a Sportster (much as I like 'em).
