RE: Windshields
i have the quick disconnect windshield and love it. i'm 5'10" and with a mustang seat and have no worries. when i bought my 1200c 05 my salesman referred to its use as simply enjoying a ride with it versus holding on without it. man was he right. i have found no problem with hot weather (living in east central florida- currently 96 degrees today!) since you still get some wind from around the sides to keep you cooler. when you stop, no matter what you have in front of you- hot is hot!!! i had a friend who had been toying with the idea of getting one or not, he finally did and it wasn't a month or two later the windshield deflected some road debris that would have resulted in some new dental work had he not had the windshield. i have not had the problem of hot air being deflected up at all. wind resistance is a slight factor, but is somewhat dependant on bike weight/rider weight as well. heavier bikes won't move as much, but even with stiff onshore breezes i get here in florida going over bridges hasn't been a problem (just lean a little and you're good to go...lol). good luck and let us know what ya do...

i have the standard height hd windsheild and would not do without one.it reduces wind buffeting,bug eating,rock hating.it does help with cold simply for the fact that you don't have all the cold air hitting you.would recommend one in a heart beat.

RE: Windshields
Windshield on a sporty [:@] , ı bought a detachable one and ı can truly say that ı really hate the look of any kınd of wındshıeld on a sportster.
I know that ıt helps a lot especıally when ıt gets cold but ı prefer to wear a hat or somethıng that wıll cover my face than havıng a w.shıeld on my bıke .
Just my 2 cents.
