Default Windshields on your night train?

I've gotten some great help from you all so far.

My wife and I have a long trip planned next month. I'm seriouslly throwing around the idea of dropping the cash on a removable windshield.

I'm curious as to what ones you have on your night trains and why. Also, any pics would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt

Just my opinion man. Buy full face helmets. Windsheilds rob from the look of a Night Train. Just my 2 cents everybody has to do their own thing. Good luck.

We have full face helmets. I think what I do to my bike is up to me. I mean, i'm sure everyone that passes us on the interstate going 75-80mph is going to mock and ridicule us for having a windshield on my bike. Give me a break. Sorry if my wife and myself don’t feel like getting our heads whipped around for 1,000+ miles.

Of course I don’t plan on keeping the windshield on the bike off the interstate rides…….not that it’s any business of yours.

Thanks for the help though!

Matt

I have a Heritage Classic with factory hardware and windshield but you could check Memphis Shades. They have a line of interchangeable and removable windscreens.

And besides, who cares what anyone thinks. It's your ride. Do what you want. This is a free country. There are grave yards full of men and women who fought and died for our freedom of choice (and speech).

Ride safe.

We have a detachable windshield, Detachable bags, detachable back rest and a comfortable two up Night Train seat for taking long rides. It takes less than 10 minutes to transform the Train into a cruiser. I got all of the pieces really cheep on Ebay.

I think I paid about 100 bucks for the windshield which included all the hardware.
I can't remember the exact model number but I know I checked the HD Web Site to make sure it was going to fit.

I'm glad I didn't spend a lot of money on it because last year we only used the windshield twice. Here's a pic of the bike a few years ago. Good luck!

Settle down Notoriouskeef. Someone needs a beer here. As I stated everyone has to do there own thing. Didn't know you had helmets. Do what trips your trigger. Good Luck
