I am taking a trip from Houston, to Lafayette, La about 250 in a few weeks. I am thinking about buying a windshield but not sure what type to get.

They have a windshield that is not the Standard or Extended, it comes to my chest area but thats it.

Will this be suffiecent, it is on sale at clearance for 113.00 plus an additional 69 for the hardware...

Your advise will be greatly appreciated.

 

I've been checking on them too, it should come to the middle of your nose according to the local dealer.

 

Thats strange because this dealer stated that as long as it covers your chest it will be ok...

I am confused,,,, Its a low profile windshield... just wondering how it will standup to the highway..

 

I've got this H-D Quick-Detach http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_USfor mybike and all I can say is, it's a God send on long trips spent on the slab. When I don't need it (which is most of the time) it and everything it attaches with comes off in 10 seconds. Takes that long to put it on too!

The best place to buy is Surdyke's at http://www.surdykeharley.com/parts_01.asp- about 20% off MSRP.

 

If you want one that works to it's max,they say from your chin to the middle of your nose to deflect wind,rain and bugs etc.

 

I have the same windshield as "Thumper26". comes up to about my chin - wouldn't want it any lower, but the ease of installation/removal is GREAT.

 

I recently bought the brand new Quick-Detachable Touring windshield for Sportsters. It just came out this year. It's the biggest detachable shield for the Sportster, and it leaves absolutely NO hardware behind because it just clamps on with 4 clamps. I highly recommend it. It is really stable in all conditions, including highway riding. It's the shield I would get if I were you.

Oh, and it also looks "sporty" and not so round like other shields. It's sort of tapered at the top for a sporty look. Looks great.

 

I have quick-release windshield on my Sporty....had it cut down to 14" (was 19"). Want it to come just below your nose.
