RE: windshield for a sportste
I have the HD sport and I feel more buffet with it off than on. Not a single handeling prob it handles better with it on at high speed especially. Maybe its just the strong push of the wind againstmy torsotrying to peelme off the seat and the wind trying to peelmy helmet offmy head that Iam mistakenly callingbuffeting

Hi, Had the windshield on today, that and the Panoptx glasses and no tearing at 80mph up here in the Eastern Panhandle of Wv. Nice that it is the H-D quick release and comes off for in town or warm weather riding in a minute. Come on Spring. Ride Safe WVleo

I run a detach in cold weather and on highway trips. To me, it changes the personality of the bike and I'm less fatigued after long runs at high speed. I hate the look of it. It also causes a weird turbulence that swirls around my sunglasses but I get used to that. No eye tears, either.

I have a quick detach weenie shield. I bought it, last spring,because I was having elbow problems after a ride of any distance at over 70 mph. It is also nice in the cold.If you must have one, I like the quick detach, because you can take thedamn think off in about 10seconds, and it doesn't leave behind any mounting hardware.

RE: windshield for a sportste
thought about getting a windshield but for windy days or long highway rides but I just use on a full helmet instead. Kepps the wind out of my face and its nice in the winter. 5 sec to put on or take off. In summer time for non-highway rides I like the half helm.

RE: windshield for a sportste
I run an slipstreamer windshield, about 140 shipped with all hardware. It isnt quick detach, but if i want it off I can use an allen wrench, takes about 10 minutes or so. Where I live I do a lot more highway riding than in-town riding, I leave it on year round but still like the look of a bike without one.
