With my fatboy, I had a Windvest windshield. Functional, effective, easily removable, and looked better than most others.

I love the windshield, mostly because of bugs. Since I drive my bike to work, nothing is worse than greeting everyone with bug guts on you. It doesnt bother me to much but my customers really frown on it. It is good for the wind also, but when it rains forget about it, it clouds up and so does my face shield or glasses so when it rains I pull over and smoke a couple bones or drink some coffee...

That's odd... the clouding I mean. I've ridden (unfortunately) in all sorts of rain (hot, cold, light and Florida heavy) and just nowhere to pull over had to keep on going. No clouding whatsoever....

Clouding depends.. When I leave in the morning it is chilly, so as it starts to warm up AND it rains I get fog on the visor and/or windshield... Just depends on the amount of rain,temperature humidity..

NY wheter can vary a lot in a single day.

When I lived in Fla (Gville area) it was always hot with a rain shower around 4pm much more stable....
