Using the HD QD Touring windshield?
I'm looking at windshields, and I want something on the wider side that I can easily remove when desired.
The Harley Quick Detach touring windshield looks like it'll do the trick. Anybody have one and willing to comment on it?

I like mine, but most of us that have them, have to deal with a bit of buffetting.... part of the fun of working through the issues.
However all of that said, I do like my windshield for trips... keeps the majority of wind off ya.

Had the regular on my sportie...then got the touring windshield on my dyna...noticeable difference on short jaunts...bought the dyna late in year so it did not tour any longer than a 50 mile jaunt so do not want to make a full judgement yet....
As stated above...I think without the batwing we might always buffet...I was wondering about chrome lowers on another thread - as I notice depending where my feet are, there is a great deal of wind difference.....

Different good or different bad? I also had the regular QD on my Sportster, so I have a good idea of how that went.

I was against windshields also, but I got sick of eating bugs and don't like full faces. I got the standard! Had some buffeting then I tilted the windshield forward at the QD alans about a half inch and it went away. The HD QDs are great and very easy to put on and take off!
Here's the standard!!

I bought one for the sporty I purchased last summer. I got so used to it I never removed it. I did trade the sporty for a Fat Bob back in January. I bought a QD windshield for it the day I purchased the bike. I've never taken it off either. Yes there is a little buffeting, but I prefer to have the windshield on versus not.
