I do like the thought of off but I think becouse of the wind velocity it might where off before your ride is over.

I suggest to use a bug zapper mounted in the forks under your light.
It does 3 things.
1 Adds a cool custom feature to the bike.
2 At night you can leave it on to show off the bling.
3 It might work for the bugs.

Or just open your mouth and see how many you can collect along the ride.

Full face lid. Get one. If you get a proper fitting helmet you won't even notice your wearing it.

bugs

Try going very slow (when safe) the bugs don't hurt as much and most of them will survive

I'm with you there brother... my stomach turns every time I see a windshield mounted on a dyna or sporty... It's just plain wrong. I know, I know... to each his own...so that's just my opinion ...

i don't wear a helmet and I do have this issue and just deal with it. If you don't want this to happen then get a full face helmet and porblem solved.

OT. I went with a small WindVest Tombstone style Windshield; Works great with keeping the bugs outta my teeth!

Forget the bugs, last night a huge dry leaf came floating down and I managed to FACE it at 65mph. Felt like I got bi@#h slapped hard. Fall looks so pretty yet so mean.
