How do you like that windscreen? I'm thinking about getting one for the long hauls and colder months. Buffeting?

Easy to remove, no buffeting. I'm used to lower windshields but I am very comfortable with this one.

I am 5'10" and have to look thru the windshield, whereas on my Deluxe I would look over it and I do where a helmet. No buffeting at all. Part number of windshild is 57688-10, hope this helps.

Yep it does. Just 1 more question. I'm 5'10" also and thinking about this exact screen, but anyone with experience feel free to chime in.
If you look thru the screen vs over it, how do you make out in the rain? I wear a full face helmet, and when the visor is blurry, i just wipe with my hand. Obviously not an option with the screen.

I got a set of easy brackets for softails I'll sell you. You can put them on any set of bags. Quick on n off and they lock.

So my BR's bars finally came in came in today, hopefully I'll get the bars and engine guard off for powder coat tomorrow while the bike's at the indy getting a few things taken care of. Rain might put a stop to that though, ridin' 50 miles in the wet ain't my idea of fun so we'll see. Bars look great, that guy does primo work!

installed my Danny Grey Buttcrack Solo (Airhawk) and Coil relocation. Next will be the Denali Soundbomb. Almost out of bike weather here. Then it will be time for the Fuel Moto 107.
