100 miles round trip to work everyday 70+mph and no windshield on my SB. I thought about it for a nano second and it just wouldn't be the same. If I want a windshield I'l buy a RK or take my truck.

It's up to the individual. This individual says no most of the time but on longer highway rides, well then I say yes.

&nbsp\\;
Same here. Around town or locally i ride with no windshield.&nbsp\\; On the long trips, put the windshield back on.

Last time I rode without a shild I was on a HD hardtail. I do enjoy the shield though.

Will try it this way. My last three bikes have had shields. One had a Vetter Fairing.&nbsp\\;

I spend 75% of my time on the Intersate. At 63 I'm not fond of being beaten around by wind so I have a QD Compact shield on my Bob
