Best windshield for FX softail?

What's the best windshield for an FX softail? I know the answer is "no windshield" but its getting cold again. I also know I should just get a bagger but AAFES doesn't sell Harleys for Japan anymore.

Is the Harley shield best?

I don't want anything that mounts to the bars and I'm running 12.5" bars. Quick detach is a must. Black would be nice too.

I am very satisfied with the Memphis Shades windshield on my NT.

I tried two different HD shields, the buffeting was so bad I couldn't see. I ended up buying an 18"x18" Windvest. It took some adjusting to find the "sweet spot"...but I can now stay in the saddle a lot longer without the wind on my chest for 2-300 miles. I have also heard good things about Memphis Shades.

HD Quick Detach

This is what I used to run with commuting on my Night Train 100 miles per day. I have since bought a Sportster that I use to go to and fro, but this windshield was a lifesaver, hot or cold, rain or shine.

Windshield is Lexan and is in almost new condition. I have only used Plexus and/or water to clean it. I will take $200.00 for the windshield and docking hardware plus whatever the cheapest shipping calculates from zip to zip.
