Bought a kury roll bag for small trips. Put it on, I don't take it off. It stays on the bike all the time. I wear a FF helmet too, this setup works great for me and I don't think the bag looks bad on my bob either. I need to take more pictures, whole front end is blacked out now and headlight is different...but you get the point.
I got a bunch of trash from buying an 09 with the silver cases...but now that it was the only year produced like that, I enjoy it not looking like everyone elses.

I may not put 22000 miles a year on mine but its far from a bar hopper. If the majority of my ride was interstate Id defenitly have a fairing and windshield..........wait I do.........on my Lincoln 
The only time Im on the interstate is when Im leaving or approaching Atlanta. 20 miles out Im off the interstate and dont touch it again till I return. The short period of time Im on the interstate doing 75-85 the wind sucks, combine that with the boring *** ride.......I just avoid them.

I only said LOL @ thread because some of the comments were funny. I don't care if you want a windshield on a Dyna. Some people say riding with a FF helmet is for suckas too but I wear one because I kinda need my brain to earn income to pay for my bike. I personally don't like windshields added to bikes but if the OP wants one, that's cool with me. I was just offering the suggestion to get one of those quick-release windshield so he could take if off for Bike Nights or whatever.

I've experimented making my own deflectors, "fangs" style, but no added benefit, just the worry that they may block wind on the way to the engine.
I'm considering either cutting the windshield down dramatically or go for a solution like the kury roll bag to get the air out of my chest, but let my head to receive the full blast of the wind, no buffeting and way less noise.
Anybody has positive experiences about this touring shield? It may have different effect depending on the body built, I'm 5'9..
