Windhields
For my '99, I bought a National Cycle windshield. It's the deflector model that's clear. Mounts to the handlebars with plastic bolt on mounts. The windshield can be removed in under a minute, but the clamps stay on the bars.
I then bought the HD brand quick detachable windshield, which was around $400.00 give or take, (I forget.)
I just leave the clamps on the bars from the N/C windshield. On longer trips I use the HD, shorter- the N/C.
The HD one really strips the acceleration out of your bike with the big one on though.

I'm going to ask a different question...is the wind bothering you? I'm not being sarcastic, when I was a new rider the wind was a big problem for me, mostly the wind hitting me in the face and pushing my head back (I had a HD DOT Half helment to start with, AKA Mushroom Head Helmet). I bought a fullface helmet and it really helped out and made the ride more comfortable and once I became more comfortable on the bike I went to a "skid lid" and wind feels great. I doubt I could ever ride with a windshield now. Just a thought

Good luck on the windshield, but I really just wanted to say welcome to the forum.
This won't mean anything to most forum members, but maybe you will remember this place.
I worked at Martin Mills in the late 70s and early 80s.
Bring that 4 handicap to Alabama and I'll play you for those stripped socks.

Be careful trying to buff these windshields. I would look for one that is in A-1 condition or just replace the plastic if you get a good deal on a scratched one. I tried buffing mine and it didn't turn out so good.

I have a quick detachable on my sportie. It comes right off, but makes a huge difference in the cold and wind. Saves you from flying crap on the highway too.
New from Harley they are about $300. Buy one off of Ebay.

I don't like them much either.
