i have the nostalgic one 21inch detachable, i like it looks more than the others on the deluxe , it saved my face lots of times from the debris, and when its clean sometimes people don't notice that i have a windshield installed

As far as the wind coming up from underneath it, get ya a set of windshield lowers. When I had my 03 RoadStar I got a set of them that was for a Harley, they were chrome and cheaper than the Yamaha plastic ones. They work great! I have yet to get a set for my heritage yet, but it's gonna happen....

With the standard windshield and "fangs", I had minimal buffering on my Heritage.
I just added a Klock Werks windshield a few weeks ago. The person I purchased it from had it on a Deluxe along with fangs and stated there they had absolutely no buffering and it increased stability at highway speeds.
Since I put the Klock Werks shield on I've only been on a <30 minute ride so I can't truly render an opinion on it yet.

Long Ride Shields has a nice windshield with a little flip at the top which directs air up and over for buffeting. Works great and they are on sale.

I have 2 different and brand new detachable windshields for my bike that have NEVER been on my bike other than when installed. They just ugly my bike up SO bad. I guess I might use one when I retire and take off for a few months but other than that I can't offer first hand experience. Maybe if I follow this thread I will see or read something that might change that outlook but until then, ugly, ugly, ugly!

The sig one is the universal shield. Much smaller then their other shield. The flip does work. Whats also nice are the different tints offered.
