Default Fat Boy Lo - MS bullet vs Windshield
I want to add some wind protection to my Fat Boy Lo and am debating between the Memphis Shades Bullet and OEM HD Windshield. This is my first HD after 4 BMWs, all with either fairing or windshield. I ride with a full face helmet and am looking for the option that is: easily removed, good wind blocker, cuts down on wind noise. Have seen older threads that compare the two, but looking for some recent info. Saw lots of discussion related to HD windshields and noise with full face helmets. Never had an issue with noise or buffeting on my BMWs with same helmet. Any info greatly appreciated!

Do a search and also check out Long Ride Shields, they are much better than the HD Windshield.
