Agree that the Rocker shouldn't have a windshield, but on long trips it really helps with the buffeting and beating you take getting to your destination. I purchased a WindVest windshield (www.windvest.com) and then fabricated two brackets that mount to the handlebar clamp on my Rocker. WindVest is in the process of designing quick disconnect riser clamps and may come up with brackets to mount to the handlebar clamp similar to the way I did it. WindVest makes a great product and it doesn't look to bad on the bike either.

I have the larger Harley windshield. It hurts the look of the bike, but not as bad as I expected.
Oklahoma winds can be brutal, it makes riding more enjoyable. I like that it’s so easy to put on and take off. I will admit that I’ve already used it more than I thought I would.

Any chance you can post a few more 3/4 view pictures? The more i look a it, the more I think it might be the ideal solution for me. Thanks!

I have the short one and does little for the wind. It does keep the bugs off the riser and my chest as it seams to be collection device for bugs. I am probably the only one who thinks the bike looks good with the sport sheild but there again I am an old bald guy who still has what is left of my running down my back.

Here are a few more pictures of the WindVest windshield mounted on my Rocker. Sorry there's not more contrast between the windshield and background.

I just ordered the taller Harley detachable windshield. I was tempted to get the shorter one but i only plan on using it on long trips. I love riding without a windshield but it gets to you after a while on longer trips. I also ride with a half helmet so hopefully it keeps some bugs and rocks off my face.
