I have the Harley quick disconnect, low profile shield. Personally I love it. 57340-08

Some people complain of buffeting, but I don't really notice it, unless I'm doing 80+ but then again you are going to get buffeting no matter what at those speeds.

I don't have any pics right now, I'm at work. I can try to post some tonight.

Also for trips a Blanket rolled up fits great between the windsheild and the risers....

Helmet type wasn't the deciding factor for most people, do a search for Fat Bob and buffeting, you'll get lots of hits.

I wear an ACC 1/2 helmet and keep the shield all the way up on the top triple tree. I don't have any buffeting problems. I'm 6'0" and 225lbs.

I have a Windvest on my Dyna (not a Fat Bob) and am very happy with it. It takes a lot of pressure off of the upper body and doesn't deliver any of the buffeting I experienced with an HD QD sport shield. Don't get me wrong, there's still plenty of airflow hitting me, it's just not all that turbulent.

I have a HD windshield on mine, It seems to work well. I have not been on a long trip with it yet. But the quality is great, I like the quick clamps on it, there is no hardware on thebike when the windshield is off.

Here is mine. The windshield is standard height. I am 5' 10", 225 and don't feel buffeting until around 80 mph. It really is great in the winter. I remove it for the summer.
