IMHO windshields ruin the looks of a bike, maybe functional - but me no like um. Same with Baggers, all that clumpy crap all over the place, hell get a car.

 \\; I just bought \\;the quick detach Sport Windshield for my '08 W/G. \\; \\;I tried it out last weekend and it did help keep the windblast off the chest and the bugs off my face but the buffeting is \\;to heavy. \\; It actually gave me a wicked headache. \\; \\;I can't see using it in a long run, I'd be better off finding a seat with \\; \\;back support or backrest to help with the wind and a bandana to keep the bugs off my grill. \\; \\;If I had known \\;how bad it is,  \\;I would never have bought \\;one. \\; $460 \\; down the tube.

RE: Windshield or No Windshield? Authoratative Final Answer
Never gonna be a definative / final answer on this debatable topic. \\; Too many opinions.
 \\;
For me, I hated the idea of putting shield on my Bob. \\; Fortunately I found one that looks pretty good and is fairly unobtrusive (that means you dont notice it much...
). \\; It also makes a HUGE difference in riding comfort, so if I'm on the highway for any length of time, the shield is on.

RE: Windshield or No Windshield? Authoratative Final Answer
Ya know ...some of the guys that give me crap about putting a Windshield on my bike and driving 100 miles to a destination are the same Jamokes who drive their coveted " Rad machines " into a enclosed trailer, tow it up to the same location, and ride it around as cool as they can be. If you know what I mean..................................who exactly is the real rider ?????
