what to expect from quick release windshield install

How will the ride be different.....I hear the term buffeting used in other threads regarding shields....does the bike handle the same....will wind blow me around more...do shields flex in the wind and cause distorted vision.

Ah, that's some pic you get there pal! What was your question?

Oh yeah, quick release windscreen. I love mine, and I don't get the wind buffeting. Contrary, I think it handles better. Looks better without the windscreen but on long trips, it's a must.

By the way... nice pic!

And if your windshield is the right height, you're looking over it, not through it. So distortion is not a problem.

And of bigger concern is that it appears a young strumpet is taking advantage of your poor innocent bike!

I have very little buffeting, the bike handles just the same, the wind will blow you around less and as previously stated you will be looking just over the top, not through it. Also as previously mentioned, nice photo!
