i got the same predicament as yours so i did this
i have the hd fairing and i just put that shield on top Its the cheap slip streamer detachable one's just for longer freeway trips, I know some of you may find it ugly but it is very functional for me im 5"8 and no wind on my face at all, once i put my hand on top of my head and i can feel it rushing just on top of my helmet.
also just a tip on freeway riding do not white knuckle the bars

Nothing wrong with a shield at all, had them. Just stating you can get accustom to riding without them. The "man up" quote was a joke. It's all a matter of personal preference, doesn't make you less of a biker. It's your ride, do what it takes to get the most enjoyment out of it.

Looks nice. Mind to post couple more pictures from other angles? Thanks
Update:
I guess that having more saddle time will make a difference, and also making sure to synch up the NovDOT so it doesn't want to lift off your head.
Or maybe the wind wasn't as troublesome...
But 70 - 80 mph wasn't near the problem that I previously thought it to be. I wouldn't say it was fun enough I'd enjoy it for a really long stint, but it is definitely something I could get used to.

I had my nightster 2 years before getting an HD quick detach this spring. I haven't taken it off since. Sure makes the longer rides more enjoyable. We got some big *** bugs in Texas. Those SOB's sting the face when you hit em at 70-80 mph.
