Street Glide rides and handles great and you are doing the right thing with getting additional windshields. The windshield was the only issue I had with the SG. I don't mind a little wind in the face but there was this concentrated turbulence that hit me right around nose level and actually rattled my head. I ordered a 9" from fastaire also but haven't received it yet.

I went with the 6" Smoked Chrome from J&P Cycles. I installed it yesterday, but didn't get to ride due to the rain that started coming down. [:@]

The ride of the lowered shocks suck. Just my opinion. I own a SG, love the looks but I had to change the shocks. Purchased shocks on ebay from a '05 Ultra Classic for $47. The ride is now fantastic and I have still maintained the SG look. You can hardly notice the difference.

Fastaire 9" smoked windshield came the other day and that solved the problem. No more turbulence. A little wind in the face after 50 mph. Exactly what I was looking for!
