does anyone make a windshield bag?...im looking for one for my stock roadking windshield. I dont like riding with the windshield on during the rain....so i figure if i had a bag i could put it in the bag and strap it to the nelson rig and drive on....
If you don't like your windshield in the rain, is it because you are trying to look thru it and thru whatever eyeware or faceshield you are wearing?
I for one, can not see thru my windshield and my face shield in the rain, I look over the windshield and all is fine. The windshield height should be set where you just see over it.
By faceshield, we wear half helmets and I carry some snap-on, lift up face shields in one of the saddle bags with the rain gear.

A heavy duty cordura nylon bag, made by HD specifically for the Roadking windshield, was given to me about three years ago. It is black with an embroidered bar and shield, a two way, zipper and double handle. It is large enough to easily accomodate an attached windshield bag. It works very well and is one of those "extra" items that I would never have bought for myself ... until I used one.
sure do and i do look over it slightly...but the fact it gets water all over it kinda messes with my vision....eyes wear doesnt bother me, i wear 7 eye and i never had issues....but in sevear rain...i hate riding with a windshield....

hmm, riding in the rain with a perfectly good windshield in the bag. oh well. if i'm getting pelted with rain, i tuck down behind the rain, find a coffee shop or diner till the rain is done. and on a ride, i always watch the sky, it'll let you know if you're gonna get douched, and divert your trip around the storm. works for me.
stopping is a great idea when you can....however...sometimes its not feasible...getting pelted by rain doesnt bother me...i have good rain gear...its all about vision....
