Just rode about 10 miles this morning to meet my brother for coffee without the windscreen. What a friggin mistake! It's cold running down the freeway at 65. Upper 40's here & until it warms up substantially, the windscreen is staying on. At some point I would still like to add a detachable fairing when the funds permit. BTW, 47 y\o.

I have chronic tendonitis in both elbows resulting in 80% loss of grip strength in my hands-
so, i can't ride without a windscreen. Can i mention cruise control is a blessing for me as well.

The difference in riding with a windshield vs without out is like getting used to an Ultra and then gettting on a Sportster!
If we have an 80+ degree day I my take the windshield off my wife's Heritage and take a short bar hop. Otherwise, I'm on my Ultra with the windshield and fairing, and lower fairings year 'round.
