Default Suggestions for a Windshield
Any suggestions on a windshield for long distance riding? I need a 19" quick release for a 2008 Fat Boy.

I dont know if they make it for the fatboy but I love my quick detach HD one. It leaves no hardware behind.

Mine came with a quick release 17", problem is the top of the shield is in line with my throat so I get the wind in the face and it rattles my head.
