10-15 miles. I will pull it off during the summer when riding to work and around town. Plan on hitting the road and it is back on.

Rode from Miami to DC without a shield. Hated it. Learned to lean forward and surf the wind at 80-85 mph.

I ride with a shield now, on long trips.

When I ride to work its about 60km round trip and that's as far as I care to go without the Shield. After that the force of the wind on the body get tiring.

Did a couple 1000 mile days, many 700-800 mile days and countless 500+ mile days on my 99 Road King without the windshield!
