Default Best Windshield 2023 Fat Boy

For my anniversary 2023, need opinions on best quick release windshield that will accommodate small windshield bag that attaches to windshield frame center bolt without interfering with clutch cable.
Thanks.

Not sure if you can fit a bag to it, but I really like my HD Windsplitter setup.
It's the standard HD windsplitter for the FLFB/S, but I made kickback extensions for it to give it better aero and prevent buffeting.
Though I am considering going to a 19inch windshield from FreedomShields.

Thanks Kenelz and Fran. The pictures, brands and sizes are very helpful. One follow up question to Kenelz: does the clutch cable interfere with your windshield bag?
thanks again.

first i like the factory one, and if you want to put a windshield bag on it just make sure it is thin.
