Yup, they're great. I've got the quick-detachable touring windshield for Sportster models, and it works like a charm. It even works in high winds at highway speeds. Only thing is, gotta be sure it doesn't toss you around like it's a sail on a boat.

What? A windshield on a Sporty? I have the low profile quick detach. Still feel the wind in my face but it covers my torso, which is what I want.

I like the one that came with this sporty, but I'll prob yank it off.
