Default Need helping choosing Windshield.

Hey guys,
I bought a Dyna three week ago and I have put on 800miles on it so far( mostly around cities!). But I have started to feel the pain of not having a windshield!!! The air drag on Highways is too much for me to hold on to the bike ( I weigh 134 pounds) and I get tired real soon trying to wrangle it. So, now I’m considering looking for a windshield that is detachable quickly for city use but strong enough that it works good on highways. Any recommendation?

I put the Harley quick detachable windshield on mine. Rarely do I ride without it. After getting sand blasted by a dump truck loaded with sand and getting smacked with a bird in the head I decided to get one. Takes, litterally, about 5 seconds to take it off or put it on. Pretty solid too. Great investment.

Memphis Shades for me. Had an HD one and a National Cycle one, and the Memphis is the best.

I've been thinking about getting one for awhile. Can't decide on Memphis Shades vs the HD shield.
