Default New detachable windshield

I just got my new Windshield. These are very nice, no hardware to stay on the bike. Thought I would share.

I've got the same windshield and it's awesome, I love it. It's nice to be able to remove the windshield and not have attachment parts still hanging on the bike. Not only is the windshield easy to remove and replace but it's also easy to raise and lower a few inches. My ONLY concern is it's easy to steal and use on another bike. I wish Harley made it lockable! I'm going to try to figure out a way to lock one of the latches for peace of mind.

When you come up with a locking solution make sure you post it. There's a lot of us who have the same or similar windshields. I've got to admit I've not given any thought about it being stolen so thanks, now I've got another thing to worry about!

Dynamight,
Am presently agonising over which height windshield to buy, the low like yours or the the standard height. Can you tell me how tall you are, where the windscreen comes up to in regard to your face, if you get any buffeting at high speed and if the screen can be raised or lowered by clamping in different positions on the forks.
Thanks
Colin.

I'm 5'10 the compact comes up to my mouth,but can be as low as my chin or as high as my nose by just unclamping it and sliding up or down. I don't feel buffeting really,maybe I do but don't recognize it,all I know is without the shield my whole body is buffeting,and at 75+ mph forget it,I'm holding on for dear life!

I enjoy riding with it and makes the highway riding that more enjoyable. I never thought about someone stealing it though.
