Default any aftermarket windshield options?

Started talking about road trips for next year and might be getting a quick detach windshield for my Fat Bob... Anyone have any advice? The Harley one is about $450... Are there other brands-options?
Thanks

Grab a J&P cycles book or look online they have plenty and also the Memphis shades which are much cheaper in price with a good quality. Ebay carries alot also.

Default Another question...

Has anyone put the tank lift brackets on a fat bob yet? I found the guy that sells them on ebay, and asked him how they are doing it, he said to try rotating the perches to get the clearance... If you do that, you would rotate your switches too wouldn't you? The problem is that the throttle cables are barely clearing the gas cap right now... maybe you can't do this with drag bars???

I had a Harley quick detach that worked okay but didn't like the way it looked and still had a little buffeting around 75+. So, I bought a windvest, it's small, unobtrusive, virtully no buffeting and the quality of the plexiglass and chrome mounts are much better than the Harley. I think I paid around $300.00 but to me it's worth the extra $.
