I love my bike without the windshield, but like you, I also hate the bugs. Them little boogers hurt. I have a quick release HD on mine, but rarely remove it any more. Every time I clean it I get to see how many bugs did not hit me. We have huge bugs in Kansas, plus bee's, hornets, and various other stinging flying things. Oh! I am alergic to honey bee's too. I salute you guys that can ride through Kansas without a windshield. You Da Man.
