Default Winshield Questions

A couple of questions.

I like the National Cycles Switchblade 2-up and the chopped model, but
how low can winshields be chopped before it becomes "what's the point?"
Are there any other quick change windshield that I should be looking at?

Are the Moco's shields quick change?

Memphis Shades change in 1.7 minutes with an allen wrench in one hand & a beer in the other.

I have the Spitfire sport windshield on mine

I can say "yeah it makes a difference"...I'm 6'4", takes a bit of the "parachute" feeling off of your chest on hwy speeds. I think it deflects a bit of stuff too.

And it goes on or off in about 14 seconds....just two nylon nuts to quickspin on or off.

It doesn't take much of a shield toake a difference. When I put pullback risers on my Dyna and it put the speedo up in front of me I noticed a lot of pressure was taken off my chest. I haven't put the windshield back on yet. I'm not saying that it's a replacement but if something as small as a speedo makes a difference a small shield works.
