If I get one it will definately be detachable and will stay in my garage for about 50 weeks a year. Which is why I haven't dropped the cash yet.TRThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04743311641474704804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539967494859733975.post-28164221374676351422008-11-25T06:27:00.000-08:002008-11-25T06:27:00.000-08:00I would not disagree that windshields have their p...I would not disagree that windshields have their place, but they can ruin the look of a bike that doesn't have one "built in". Baggers, and street glides, and Heritage Softails, Etc. look fine with them on all the time. Just my opinion but other bikes, like Dyna's, Sporty's, Fat Boys, etc. just look silly to me with windshields on. The windshield almost looks like an afterthought.<BR/><BR/>If you get one for the "practical reasons", make sure it is detachable. Your bike looks sick the way it is, and a windshield in my opinion will ruin the look.Mr. Motorcyclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00317142329450322815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539967494859733975.post-58699408417177146132008-11-24T21:06:00.000-08:002008-11-24T21:06:00.000-08:00Hey Mike, grow a pair and register a user name ins...Hey Mike, grow a pair and register a user name instead of lurking around anonymously.TRThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04743311641474704804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539967494859733975.post-36546628640800124782008-11-24T18:50:00.000-08:002008-11-24T18:50:00.000-08:00Damn fine looking bike next to yours.

I've only ridden with it twice so far on short little trips, so the verdict is still out.<BR/><BR/>My chiropractor would probably agree that a backrest would be a good option. I haven't been able to find anything except a $400 seat with a backrest without going to a passenger seat (which I have no intention of ever using, and would destroy the sleek like of my solo ride). I am definitely going to check it out.

It is high enough to take the wind off my chest a great deal. Plus it looks oh so "Then Came Bronsen." <BR/><BR/>My friends wife put a small one on her Sporty and wishes had done it years ago. <BR/><BR/>A detachable would be the way to go I think.<BR/><BR/>That wife of yours is a real card :)<BR/><BR/>fasthairfasthairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16578895011107651084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539967494859733975.post-5819066886814638432008-11-24T05:20:00.000-08:002008-11-24T05:20:00.000-08:00You get bugs in your teeth?You get bugs in your teeth?Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03926876082330494640noreply@blogger.com
