Try a bestrest if you are looking to eliminate "hanging on". The backrest has made a world of a difference....my arms are relaxed even at 70-80mph.
Ahhh, thanks, ya, I'm looking at a Corbin or Mustang with a backrest..... Seat #4... haha

I like the naked looks of my raw FB
Isnt this a family forum....Nasty bastages!!

I get blown and bugged down bad on me Night Train...I also get rocked and sanded. The last Train I saw with a "Screen" and saddlebags convinced me that I wasnt putting that stuff on my bike and may need to look into an old beater EVO touring bike for the longer buggier wind blown trips.

At least Y'all Fatties dont look bad with the screen....I think they look almost cool if you pick the right one.

I don't mind the bugs in my teeth or the sand in my hair. It's part of the experience. The rain will wash it all off anyway. If I want to stay clean and dry, I'll take the car.

If I had the cash, I'd have a fleet of Harleys, one of course would be a full-on touring model......... and the Fatty would stay exactly like it is.... well, with a few more horsepower of course...... and maybe a 240 rear..... and maybe forward controls.... and, and, and.... haha......... I LOVE MY CHUBBY!!!!

Default Fat windshield
I use my windshield most of the time maybe because I'm 64 and usually travel over 200 miles when I go out.

Back when I was just bar hoppin' I never used a windshield.
