Default which quick release windshield for my nightster?

Im going to do a lot of turnpike riding soon (after break in) plus many trips down to the florida keys (4+ hours or so). I want to get a detachable windshield for these longer & higher speed rides. Any suggestions as to which model windscreen might be best for my nightster? I want a quick release screen since I most often wont be riding with one. So I want something thats easy to put on and take off - and doesn't look like complete $hi7.

Thanks in advance...

I have a quick release and never use it...cannot say I have seen many Sportsers thatthey looks good on, might help wind and bugs but looks like $hi7.

understood - i figure it will look like crap on it... but i need something for the longer hauls. i have issues with my contacts drying up like crazy with the wind. and god forbid riding during love bug season... so if i can eliminate some of the wind / sand / and bugs that would be great. like i said it will only be used on the long distance trips. local short rides ill go screenless.

& thanks =)

Try one of these Deflectors from NationalCycle. They have black hardware, are very stealthy and don't look as dorky as some others. They come off in seconds and run about $89.00.

National Cycle has a great selection. The Deflectors look good but I think the fly screen would look really good on the Nightster. They don't look like they provide much protection but I had one on a bike a couple of years ago and it helped break up the air so that it was easier riding onthe highway
