Dyna Wide Glide Windshield
I'm clean out my garage of all my motorcycle related stuff. I'm getting rid of all the uninstalled/unused upgrades. Lifters, rocker arm shafts... I had a bunch nonsense in the works before the unintended flight. Been ebaying some of it. Other stuff, I haven't bothered with.

It's there still. I'll post pics. I will never use it again.

I have a stock Harley quick detach hardware with a Clearview Shield with recurve on my 07 Wide Glide.
If it is a stagnant no wind day it kicks *** up to 85 mph...
if you are in a headwind there is major buffeting above 55mph
it kicks *** when its cold or a hot summer night(bugs)
it is not a cure all to say the least, there are shortcomings and the turbulence some days is just unbearable but its always above 55-60 mph
i leave mine on all the time as I feel the benefits outweigh the cons...
Its a Wide Glide....you are a human sail...FOR ME it takes the wind blast off my chest and a 200mile day is effortless.
just my opinions and observations.

I have the quick detach and the anniversary edition windscreen. Had to replace the plastic with Memphis Shades stuff, but fit the hardware perfect. I get the same problem riding with it. I was getting bad buffeting on the highway with any wind that's over 5mph. I added some National Cycle heavy duty lowers, but they didn't fit the mount. Ended up drilling some holes to mount them to, and had to grind them down a bit so they didn't hit the tank. Helped with the buffeting but I'd still get wind blowing directly in my ears, painful and annoying. I put some Memphis Shades hand deflectors on and that cut it down quite a bit, but it's still there when it gets any wind on the highway, and there's still a lot of turbulence. Been thinking about ditching the entire setup and going with a batwing.

full disclosure: that bike and that windshield on it are long dead, crushed by a semi. the wind shield is the exact same HD version.

Wife and I both run the HD QD mounted windshields. Cleanest, easiest to get parts if needed and fits well. When it's off, there's nothing left on the bike. Her's is stock; I installed a couple of Vetter Snap Vents just above the horizontal bar and she claims buffeting is much reduced. Makes sense; if you create a low pressure area behind the windshield, there will be turbulence when air tries to flow into that area. The vents allow air in thru the openings...would probably be nice on hot days, too.
I just replaced my re-curve with a Memphis Shades; will be installing the snap vents soon. It's a relatively tedious and very fussy job. I'll get a picture of her windshield later...
