Default I've been a *****....

.... about my windshield. Like to do some longer distance highway riding so I've had it on the bike pretty much since the beginning.

Took it off this weekend for a change!! Yazzza. Lovin it. Bike looks way better and just seems more fun to ride.

Plus I was pretty ticked about the buffeting issues with the windshield.

Oh man...I been thinking of getting a windshield, but now you just convinced me to keep on with the wind in my face. Are they that bad?

No - they're still a great thing to have. I'll use it on long trips for sure, and it is much more relaxing. But I had such fun just having the change, and the bike looks way better without it.

Overall, I would still want one. HDs quick removal system is pretty neat actually - took me about 10 seconds to remove.

I did 250 miles today and had the touring windslield on. I did the reverse route a few weeks back with out and I got so say without it them freakin bugs hurt. Took a few today to with the shield but not near as bad. The buffeting is something that makes it unpleasant on a long run but the bugs are even worse.

I did the same this weekend, looked like the rain might be over for a day or to... I also really liked the looks. but unlike you, my 20mile ride to work on the freeway, wore be out with road grit,sand, water, and bugs... I got to work dirty and just wore out.............

Anything under 45mph was fun,, 75mph just plain hurt...........

Speaking of that I came across a section of highway today that they were doing crack filling on.... that aint fun stuff to ride in... had an Ahole pass me in a dually and the sh*tas* has the gall to punch his chip out diesel dually just as he's coming round me... glad I had the windshiel on for that one... I could hear the grit pingging off the metal on my bike.
