Default Batwing? Yeah or nah

Hey guys,
currently I have a quick detach HD windshield and was looking at the MS Batwing. Will it offer more protection? Do they look good or cheap, hard to tell in the pictures on here. Would you buy it again?

I always got compliments on my Wide Glide and the comfort was much better than the HD windshield I tried. Traded my stock WG seat for this batwing so it was a good deal for me.

Protection/looks are subjective. What's comfortable to some is not to others, same with looks. You'll have to decide for yourself.

Anyone have pictures of the "dyna" version of the Memphis Shades batwing with it on the bike?

I had one on a honda vtx 1300 that I had before the dyna. I liked it a lot more than the regular windshield and it offered a lot more protection than the windshield. I want to get one for the dyna if I can find a good deal on one.
