Thanks for all of the reply's...even the not so constructive ones. I plan on some days that will have 600+ miles...and after the first 30 June bugs I've usually had my fill! I agree windshields can absolutely kill the looks of a bike, that was the reason for this thread. To get opinions on which shield would do less "damage" to how the bike looks. Thanks again.:flag:

I hate when people freak over some ribbing.

This is what I put on my Mastiff, it is clear can be removed and or lite up depending on what you want. It came from wind vests

I personally like the fact that its stops them little rocks like the one that took out my friend eyeball. I can handle the bugs they don't taste that bad.

I use mine when I ride long distances (over 100 miles or so) not locally.

That is SWEET!

Cool or not cool ain't got nothing to do with a windshield. Bugs in your teeth not cool either. Just means you were smiling will riding without a windshield. Put what you want on there, I like the clear better, less obtrusive.

The clear is less noticable and I could care less if you like it or not
Little Boo.....I like it :2thumbs:

I had a clear one on my Mastiff. You can see it's not very visible but worked well on all the bee's.

I use it on long trips and yes it does help with the buffeting and bugs. I have made trips with and without it. Better trip with it on.

Rode to Witchita without one. Sunglasses were embedded into my skull.
Rode from Withcita with one. Much Better!

Thanks Guys, I keep it lite up hoping some topless babe will want to hop on and have her picture taken. No takers yet still looking

Had a 16 " windshield first - didn't like it.
Cut it down to 10.5 " and added a higher handlebar (4" higher from '06 Mutt).
Now its perfect for me.

I won't ride without it, I don't like bee's and bugs bouncing off my face. Is it functional, absolutely, clear or tinted, personal choice.

Looks like we ended up having a bunch of closet windshield users. Rock on guys.

Ha ha, if you look closer you will see it's inside a trailer/hauler!

BWG56 is that a 14" or 16" ? Does it give you pretty good protection? Is it from Big Dog or Windvest and if from Big Dog was it a pain in the ass to put on? Thnks!
