I like not having the windshield on most of the time but when the temps. drop here in Wisconsin the windshield helps keep the ice from freezing on my face

Windshield?

I will certainly consider putting a windsield on my Sportster the day after I change my name to Susan and shave my legs and wear a skirt, so I guess I never will have one.

i guess there useful if your riding for days on end touring, even then maybe not,
by the time you have the heated grips, windsheild, lower sheilds, sheep skin seat cover, might as well just take the cage,
ridings not about the comfort its about the ride, noise and wind.
I do always ride with a fullface helmet though

No windshield. No sissy bar, no radio... If I ever buy those they will all have another bike attached to them...

I keep one on during the winter, because I ride all winter.

I keep one on during long highway trips.

I keep it off during most of the summer, unless I am on a long highway trip.

I think that most of you guys who say you will never use a windshield have never ridden in the winter, when it is in the 20s. I ride all winter, and a windshield isn't even a choice, it is a necessity.

Didn't we already beat this subject to death last month?
I don't like em, but I also don't like long haul touring or riding when it's in the 20s either.
