Windshields for a Super Glide
Looking at the HD website, I see the windshields that will fit my Super Glide.
Tough making a decision by looking at pictures.
If you have a Super Glide, did you buy a windshield....and which one did you get?
Maybe you got another brand?

I have this one I got from the Dyna parts classifieds here and am pretty happy with it. The quick release is the best part of it. I leave it off when I am just riding around town but it is nice to have when you are out getting some miles on the bike. http://www.harley-davidson.com/store...-20-5834606--1
I bought the low smoked one from HD. it works for me but I am only 5'7" I personally like to look over it. If you are taller you may want to take that into consideration.The great thing is i can move the shield up or down a few inches on the forks.
Mine is a factory HD windshield that collects dust in my shop because I never use it. Nothing wrong with it, I just don't like to run a windshield.
I hear good things about the Nation Cycle Spartan, which is relatively inexpensive.

I use the HD Low Smoked quick detach. I run with the top of it level with my nose so I look over it. It does it's job of keeping the pressure off my chest. Does not work like a fairing. I also have an HD windshield bag on mine which holds my wallet, IPHONE and EZ Pass. Very convenient.
I use the same one as JustSo: http://www.harley-davidson.com/store...-20-5834606--1. The windshield is 18". I am 6' and torso is approx. normal height. It maybe could be an inch shorter for somone else the same size, but I like that it keeps me sitting upright most of the time (better for my back.) The middle top comes up to the bottom of my eyeline. Bought it about a month ago, and haven't taken it off since. I have a pv unit and gps on the handlebars that the windshield protects. I feel wind coming up from the knees, like everyone else, but it is refreshing for me.

I have a H.D. detachable windshield for auxiliary lights with a H.D. windshield bag. Like others have noted I do get buffeting from extreme wind. But that would be expected on the open highways that I travel on. I personally like the protection that the windshield gives me from flying stones off of per dump trucks, etc. Once traveling back from Stan's H.D. I literally ran into a swarm of grasshoppers! I was indeed happy that I had a windshield to protect myself! Didn't mind at all after I got home to clean my windshield and rest of bike from that encounter!!
