Default Windshield recommendation?

I have an 06 Deuce that has a Wide Glide front end. Any recommendations on what kind of windshield to get? Need it on longer rides and when it's a bit chilly. Thanks

Have you checked Memphis Shades?

I have a detachable Memphis Shades "Memphis Slim" I got oon Ebay for $75, brand new, still packaged, with mounting hardware. Took a little shopping to spot that deal. It does a good job, but creates a lot of head turbulence.

If Memphis Shades would start selling their bullet fairing for FX softails, instead of just FL's, I'd love to try one of those.

My favorite are the Harley windshields with the quick-release clamps, but they cost a lot more than Memphis Shades.

F4 customs make a very durable and scratch proof coating with like a Rain X type of water shreding too.

I have one of the Harley quick release for my Rocker. Got it for $300 on ebay, and it was well worth the money. On and off in seconds and leaves behind no hardware. Only type of windshield I would ever recommend if you want it on and off at times. Would imagine you could just get the Wide Glide version as it clamps to the forks.
