I still have and ride my StreetGlide but I bought a Dyna also with the same thought in mind as you. The Dyna feels like a dirt bike compared to the StreetGlide.
And the chick's dig it.
You can still ride without a windshield. I hate the wind beating on me. Congrats, I get the "lighter bike" thing! I've got a 74 shovel that is too heavy for me anymore. Gotta regretfully say good bye.
Riding without that big batwing blocking the wind is something I'll have to get used to again. But, I don't travel anymore on a bike, so it's not bad just cruising around at normal speeds for a hundred miles or so, which is as far as I tend to go anymore.

Get yourself a detachable windshield. They make a world of difference for longer rides.
.....and for the last time. I've owned four Dynas over the last 20 years. Traded each one for a bagger, because I thought I'd like them better (I had a Road King, two Street Glides and one Electra Glide). Anyway, I just turned 73 and the Electra Glide was just becoming too heavy. I need rotator cuff surgery and moving the bike around just got to be, well painful. So, I sold it and bought my fifth Dyna, a 2012 Super Glide Custom which is my favorite in the Dyna lineup. Has most of the things I want on it already....forward controls, stage one, and exhaust. 13,000 miles. At my age, this one's keeper.......
Congratulations on your new (to you) bike.
I restarted my riding life with a '15 FatBob and I traded it in on my '20 FatBoy. I still miss that bike. Dyna's just ride different.
Look on around on your local Craigs list for a "removable" windshield. I never rode my FatBob without it once I found it. Best $150 I spent on that Dyna.
