Default Windshield help

I've been contemplating spending the big bucks on a real shield for my WG. The one I have on it now is the Slip Streamer Sport Shield. I like the size, not overly big but I still get a lot of air. I don't want anything big and I want to look over not thru. Anyone know the size of the Harley shields that would not look overly big and stupid on the WG?

Any HD windshield with a size that you think is going to stop wind better than a sport shield is going to look big and stupid and for a lot of people cause wind buffeting that is worse than no shield at all. I switched to a Windvest 16" that I can see over and does a better job than a Harley quick disconnect shield. You REALLY need to do a search of this forum, this subject has been brought up so often and kicked around so much that I'm sure those who would help are just burned out on the subject.

Good luck chasing your tail trying to find a windshield you like for a bike that looks better without a windshield,
Mike

I've been looking at the WindVest shields too. They are quick to take off and don't cover the entire front of the bike.
