Default Windshield on a Slim?

Only had my Slim a couple of days. I prefer riding wo/ a shield, but I know the day will come when I wanna hit the big open road (freeway) and I'm gonna want a little more protection.
Is anyone using a shield? If so, what kind?
I looked at the Memphis Shade Slim & Sporty.

I went with the H-D quick-detach, then swapped out the 18" shield for a shorter 16" Recurve from Long Ride Shields...

I have a windscreen that used to be on my Slim until I put on some Aux Lights...inbox me if you are interested, we can work out a deal.

If you like a windshield on a Slim more power to you, but there will never be a windshield on mine.
I just cannot bring myself to do it, I'll tough it out.

I too commute a lot and I have a HD 18" wind screen.. It really cuts down on the wind "beating you up" while go 70+ mph.

They're the standard H-D visors but they came in chrome.
I had them powdercoated.
Since then I've heard they're now offered in black but I haven't verified this.

I have the deluxe aux lamps so the turn signals are below the lamps. So I had to use the nostalgic windshield mount. I went with the Long Ride Shield recurve. I am only 5'7 so I might have it cut down.

I will post a pic but for some reason it will come up sideways and I cant make it bigger.
