RE: windshields
I've got the HD super sport quick release. It's not that noticeable looks wise, but I rarely take it off now, works great. I think there is less "wind pushing" you around because you are more aerodynamic with the shield, plus being a WG it is slanted more.

RE: windshields
I just ordered the Memphis Shades Rio Grande windshield last week for my bike and it is supposed to be here this Friday. I think it's one of the best looking windshields, on a Street Bob anyways. This pic isn't my bike, it is TwoFish's. I saw this pic of his bike and that is what sold me on the Rio Grande windshield.

RE: windshields
I got the HD quick release windhield when I bought the bike. It clamps around the front forks so I can slide it up and down a few inches. I run with it as low as it will go and just look over the top. My face shield over laps it by a couple of inches. I don't ride anywhere without it. Here in Oregon we have a lot of dump trucks, logging trucks, hay trucks, livestock trucks, etc., etc plus a lot of loose gravel and a lot of rain. We have enough to worry abouton the open road without worrying about getting something in the face.

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

RE: windshields
This is what I bought and though the hardware is cheap, so is the price overall ($120). As far as function, it's great and I never take it off anymore.

RE: windshields
I had a HD Quick Release and was not happy with the monster size
chrome hardware.

It also sat to far in front of me to do what it should for itâs size.
I sold it and got a Memphis Shade Rio Grand which is jut right for my needs.
