RE: windshields
I have a compact windshield from Memphis Shades (Shooter) and it does a reasonable job of keeping the wind pressure off my chest and extending the amount of time I can ride on the highway without having to take a break. Two bolts and it's off but I just leave it on...

When it comes down to it, I'd rather deal with the updraft than have the feeling of getting blown off the bike at 90+

90+? Ever think of just slowing it down to an easy 70 or so might help? LOL [8D]

After I put the windshield on, I havent noticed as much of a headwind, and the side gusts only lean me over.

On a trip of that length you're gonna encounter some bugs and rain - get a shield. Memphis Shades makes a couple, the Fats and the Slim.I have the slim on my FXDX.

I had the Windvest on my old VRod. Made a big difference in the ability to hold on without hands cramping up. I never took it off once I realized how much I liked it. I got the idea from my buddy who had em on hiscustom rat bikeand Nightrain.

I have the small windvest on my WG and it usually stays on, only two bolts and it's off.
