Default Softail slim windshield options

Does anyone have an aftermarket windshield that's functional yet looks decent on the bike? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I started off with the H-D quick detach windshield, but ended up changing out the screen for something a little shorter...

I've got a Memphis Shades, works great and doesn't look half bad. Wish I had a better pic of it but here it is.

Jam436 has the best looking windshield on the Slim, I plan on going that route someday but for now I just can not do it because it looks much better without one so I just picked up a full face that I really like and solves my issue for long rides.

While a lot of guys will look for after-market solutions, there are advantages to the H-D offerings. (Unfortunately, price is not one of them...)
They were made for the bike and they fit like a glove.
.. plus when you want to go without, the mounting hardware integrates so well that you can't even tell it was ever there...
