Default Dyna detachable windshield

Finally gonna pull the trigger on a detachable wind shield. Memphis Shades makes one for about a hundred bucks less than HD. Pros or cons?

I have the Memphis Slim for my SB. It does a good job of keeping the wind off me. Windscreen comes off in about 1 minute. 4 screws to back out, pull the windscreen and retighten 4 screws.

I love my Harley detachable for every reason you can think of. The $100 sting wears off... I promise.

Quite a while back I got a Memphis Shade shield for my Wide Glide. It goes on and off easy enough, but I still don't like it. Seems to always vibrate and causes a weird distraction right at my sight line. I never have that problem with the stock shield on my Heritage. I don't use the Memphis Shade anymore one way or another - it's for sale cheap!

I bought a Harley detachable and it's great. Easy to put on and take off. The only concern I have is it would be way too easy for someone to steal. It takes about 3 seconds to put on and even less to take off.

I had a Memphis Fats on my 02 SuperGlide. Nice windshield. The new detachable hardware works great. On and off in 30 seconds.

H-D detachable at 20% off. Best addition I've made to date. My only concern is that it might get stolen...
