Hey guys, I have been trying to search and read up on this topic as much as I can but I'm not finding the info I am looking for.

In a couple weeks I am going for my first trip, 3 hours up the interstate. I am thinking without a windshield it will be miserable going 75 for that long. I have been shopping around for a windshields, but with no experience its hard to tell the difference.

What windshields have you had good luck with for something like this? Thanks

 

Windvest all the way. I have tried the QD one for my bike and hated it. Installed the standard length Windvest and I love it. I'll never take it off. I have a Wide Glide and this shield is not oversized. Fits my bike really well.

 

I agree with Romark. Windvest is the way to go.

 

Hey Austin Dave, If you see a utility trailer with a Wide Glide on it traveling through Austin Thursday or Friday, thats me!!

Taking my daughter to Waco then Austin for college visits Thursday and Friday. We will then go to a friends in Boerne for the weekend and do some riding on the 3 sisters with my bud on Saturday.

 

I'll wave as you pass by!

 

I've had the windvest and the qd sold them both and bought another quick detach. Didn't like the windvest as much as I thought I would. Depending on how much wind you want to block. Go with a full size shield like the QD. And add Memphis shades lowers to control buffeting.

 

I just bought mine yesterday at the harley dealer and I love it. It is the HD windshield and I am impressed with the quality. The brackets are quick detach and look 10 times better then the memphis shades that I was going to get. Its 18 inches tall and looks awesome.

 

I've heard a lot about windvest and some company, i believe they were called long haul shields or something. I tried getting on their website but it wasn't working. I have it narrowed down to the windvest, the long haul, or the QD

 

Long Ride Shields. I considered them and had some conversations. I believe they are good too. Company is a HDForum sponsor, but I don't know why the site is 'down'.....

 

I have the HD QD and like it a lot. Off and on in seconds and can be adjusted up or down several inches. I have never tried the others mentioned but really had no need. The HD shield suits my needs and works great.
