Wow! hot topic.
I guess the motorcyle world is divided between those who like to pull long stints on the Interstate and those who like to avoid them and seek the back roards. I'm one of the later so my detachable windshield will probably stay in the barn.
To me, from my brief, unpleasnat experience with them, they just seem unnatural. Most of my good friends who I ride the back roads and beautiful places with use them, but I still think they are dorky.

I am the exact opposite of you. I can't stand riding without a windshield. I live in a agricultural area and don't enjoy eating all the bugs that are around here. I noticed that once I got rid of my visor on my lid, that helped me from getting my head sucked back when the wind catches it.
Marsh,
Most posters here don't seem to like the looks of Memphis Shades' Lowers, but I can attest they work. I guess I'm more utilitarian and safety minded then having the coolest looking Harley..
