Murphdog,
That windscreen looks great on your bike. The two-tone look of the windscreen compliments the black and silver on your bike.

RE: Sport Windshield for Wide Glide?
I found this article about choosing the right windshield interesting.
I also found these pics of WideGlides/Dynas with windshields.

Unfortunately, the winter in NJ is cold, and it would definitely help. Let me ask you...do you do a lot of highway riding? I read that a lot of people complain about the Wide glide and highway riding...too much wind..or whatever. I guess I'm just numb to it. I've learned to ride with the wind since I've never had a bike with a shield. I'm just wondering if there really is that much difference with a shield (on the highway, anyway).Thanks again.

RE: Sport Windshield for Wide Glide?
I ride to work (4 miles) or tool around town or get on the highway and ride 60-120 miles for work. Basically I'm in no wind or a lot of wind. I'm starting to think about the quick released standard height from HD. The idea of popping it on or off without leaving any hardware behind appeals to me. I wish it were a little cheaper though. I'm thinking about the tallest/widest windwhield that I can still see over. I do wonder about how it will handle on the highway when a semi comes from the other direction.
BTW I realized that the black bike in the photo above is probably a softail standard. I was only looking at the front end.

I am from Central Jersey also. For the winter I have a 3/4 HD helmet with a face shield, and that with a turtleneck, heated jacket liner / gloves I am comfy.
Just a thought.

I actually wear a full face and one of those fleece pull over things that covers my whole neck and part of my chest. That works pretty well. Combined with a few layers of thermals and leathers, and I'm ok for anything over 40 degrees. Below that, and it's just too cold. I was thinking about getting the heated liners (gloves, jacket, pants). Anyone have any comments on that stuff. I'm wondering if that alone would be enough in really cold weather...or should I think about a shield as well?
The more I think about it, it's this time of year that I wish I bought a bagger. I love my wide glide, but it isn't exactly the best bike for cold weather riding. Oh well.

One heated jacket liner beats 3 or 4 layers of clothes, your chest, nech, and arms are heated like an 85 degree summer day. Just keep the wind off your face.
