I have a HD compact smoked with the QDs. I used it on my FXDC. It works great. I'm converting to a batwing so it will be for sale.

I have the Super Sport QD windshield, which I thinks looks nice on the bike and doesn't clutter it up at much because it doesn't have the center bracing like the other ones do. Mine is the 19" version, but they also make a 17" version. I would think that would work well for her.

I have a HD quick detach (18" I think?) but I never use it because I get so much turbulence off it. Am I the only one that has this issue?

Windvest! I have the 14: wide and 16" high and love it. For her I would look at the 14" w and 14" h.

lower it as close to the headlight, and tip the top of the shield forward a bit by loosing the upper to bolts, they have a slot in the brace to move it forward. and tight them back down. see if that helps.
