Just got a detachable shield myself. Best money spent.

Also use earplugs and goggles on longer rides. Very comfortable.

I hear ya, i just got a Street bob with the Factory Detachable windscreen, I hate the looks of it on, but what a difference it makes in the ride. I am leaning towards selling it and getting a "Windvest" windscreen. Less of an impact "visual" than the HD version and from the reviews, just as effective.

Shield looks good on your bike!

I've never liked windshields either, but the wind blows a lot around Corpus Christi, and the difference in riding comfort is huge with the shield vs. without.

I took it off one day for appearance, and immediately put it back on when I returned home. I think Memphis Shades did good with the Speed Demon, and the black tint on the bottom is the perfect touch.

I have a compact on my fxdc if you want to see one with a pic. I'm not a "large" guy so flying away doesn't appeal to me, although I would probably make a great kite

Detachable with locking kit worked for me, but everyone is different, and I too wear full face. I guess if I do fly, they can see I had a smile on!

Bottom line, make the Harley yours, and be comfortable.

+1 on the memphis shades. i know it takes away from the lines of the bike a little, but it makes the ride so much more enjoyable. especially when i hit the agricultural areas, who wants a face full of bees?

You gotta admit, those bees do ad some nice color accents to the black tint on the Memphis Shades.
