Windshields
I have a 05 dyna with the Sport windshield. How much better do the compact and touring windshields block the wind? I really would not mind blocking a little more wind and the option to remove the windshield would be nice during cleaning. I bought the sport because I didnt have the money for a more expensive windshield at the time. Now I do.
Here are my choices. I really like the skull with wings logo one but I would get a touring windshield if it made a big difference in wind blockage.

RE: Windshields
I too went witht he Memphis Shades Slim and am very happy with it - more so than the factory detachables of the past. Memphis Shades is coming out with a new attachment system that I saw at Bike Week in Daytona. They will doign away with the metal buttons ont he top of the fork tubes and going with a cam-clamp affair that seems much cleaner. Should be out around May form what the rep told me. Existing windshields will work, but the harware will need to be swapped to the new system.

RE: Windshields
You folks that have the Memphis Slim or Fat shield, are you experiencing any helmet buffeting from wind coming from under the shield? I bought the Del Rio sport shield and although I like the looks of the sport shield, I'm getting some serious helmet buffeting above 45mph and the offending air is definitely coming from under the shield, not over the shield. And was wondering if this was the case with the Slim or Fats for run a little lower around the head light then the sport shields.

RE: Windshields
Rather than buying another shield, take your left arm and make a salute and put it across your chest at 60 mph and see if the updraft behind the shield is eliminated, if so, go to the right border of the main page and check out Jack's Flaps AeroVest, it will take care of that dreaded updraft and make your ride sweet---jack

Looks like Jack’s flap vest is exactly what I need.
Thanks gain!
