Default H-D Windshield on the Rocker or what?

I can't find the post I read a month or so ago about the windshield on the Rocker.&nbsp\\; I don't remember anyone saying anything good about the windshileds that H-D has for them.&nbsp\\; Does anyone have one that likes it for longer rides?&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
If I buy the saddle bags and windshield when I pick my bike up on Monday I can add that to the financing and not have to come up with the money later.&nbsp\\; Do you think there will be any choices in the aftermarket for windshields on this bike?&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
Buy now or what???&nbsp\\;

I have it, but 'i don't often with a windsheild it was more to take the pressure of the wind off of my wife, but I found that it did help me as well take the direct pressure off but in exchange you get a bit of turbulance around your face, so you kind of need to decide if you want the trade off. I think If I had a lot of miles to make in short period of time I would deal with the turbulance. But I haven't used it yet, and for most trips I like the bugs in my teeth.

if they make one to fit i would go with a windvest. it performs better than a harley one and its more compact. in my opinion the HD ones suck.

Nice thing about Harley's is that it comes with a quick detatch so you can put it on when your going for a long ride and easily remove it when not needed. Personnely I like the Rocker w/o a windshield, but you do take a beating on the highway.
