Windshield help

Anybody have any good input on a windshiled for an '08 SuperGlide? i.e. Brand, model, height, detachable/non-detachable? I need a shield but I am trying to get one that doesnt look too clunky and is still kinda classy. If anyone has any experience/recommendations, let me know!

I have HD quick detach on my 07 LR. Its goes on or of in seconds, and leaves no hardware behind when its off.

I have the HD detatchable compact WS it's not too high yet keeps the wind off my chest at high speed.10 seconds to remove or apply leaves nothing on the forks when it's off, Though there is a long list of other providers,their names escape me!

edit= O be careful in choosing , you don't want the sheild up above eyw level forcing you to drive while looking through it!

I've got the Memphis Shades Rio Grande shield and I like it (when I use it)

I have a 16" tall standard width Windvest shield on mine. Love it. It's not "QD", but I can have it completely off with no trace inside of 10 minutes. It stays on the bike most of the year, though - I really don't like getting hit in the face by bugs and other road junk.

I've got the HD detachable. It's not the tallest one, probably the mid I guess. Anyway I like it. Quick on/off, makes riding that much more enjoyable IMO.

I have the Memphis Slims 15". Would probably get the 17" if i had it to do over to gain a little more wind protection.

I have HD quick release full size. Classic look and very easy on and off. Very happy with it.

I have the tall " Touring " HD quick release. I like it because ,depending on where you lock it onto the forks( how high ) , you can either look through it . or over it.
