Geez, then go measure the size of a H-D Compact windshield, and find
one the same size that isn't detachable. The main point of my reply
was that the size of this H-D Compact model is perfect for wind
protection on a Sporty, IMHO, and the detachable feature is just a
convenient little extra - again, IMHO.

LOL...you beat me to it.

I wanted a windshield for my XL1200 for to ride down to Santa
Barbara (from WA) in a month or so. A dear friend (David Crosby) is
ill and canceled some tour dates. I want to go visit him and his
family, as well as have a good excuse for a longer round trip. David
has owned a few Harleys and is a good rider...Sonny Barger notes David
as one of the only people who backed the HA's position at the free
Stones concert at Altamont....that's another unrelated story. I just
want to see if he's well enough to go for a ride in that "Sunny
Southern Weather"

I didn't want to spend much for a windshield, so I went to Ebay and
found a used Memphis Shades shield. I'd considered these shields butt-
ugly and cheap...but I didn't care, it's just for this trip. Since I
have a custom headlight nacelle, I wanted a handlebar mount only,
which is something I consider to be a joke....but it's much sturdier
than I expected. I spent $40.00 and did about 200 miles on it last
week...I have no complaints, but it's coming off as soon as I get
home.

Hey Roy, Can I get you to tell that story? That has to be an
interesting take.

Cheers,
