Default 2012 FXDWG wind shield suggestions/pics
I'm really interested in getting a windshield for my 2012 Wide Glide, but not sure which one. From what I've measured I need to be around 15" high. I like the sportshield ones from memphis shades like the del rio or del rey but unsure how they look. Any suggestions or pics would be great thanks.

This is the HD Super Sport. Quick Release comes off of the bike clean.

That does look good. I was worried how one would look. Also which passenger pillion is that?

I have that same pillion and it was a major improvement. I have lower back problems and it cradles my hips and lessens the pain. Plus my wife loves it. Definite improvement over the stock seat for her.

I had the HD quick release shield. I kept the brackets and bought a clearview replacement shield. There is much less buffeting now
