I'm looking at buying a HD Super Sport Quick Detach Windshield and was wondering if anyone here has one and if they like it. I sold my HD quick release compact windshield because it was a little too tall and I didn't care for the cross bracing. It worked very well on the hwy and really cut down on the wind, just a little too tall. I'm 6'0".

Any input is appreciated,

Thanks,
Matt

I'm using the obsolete HD Convertible WS and love it. Available on Ebay.

I've got one, and I have mixed reviews. It's decent, but I can't seem to get it adjusted right for my height (I'm 5'10"). I used to have the Sport Windshield (the non-detachable one) and that one worked out well for me. After being used to that, this one may just be throwing the wind at me a little differently, and I just need to get used to it (got it for Christmas and only have a few hundred miles with it on).

That said, I've adjusted it all the way up, and all the way down (dictated by the space between the triple tree) and neither one seems ideal for me. There might be a sweet spot somewhere in the middle, but then I have to make sure I get it back on the right spot when I take it on and off.

I hope in the end it'll work, and that I just have some adjusting to do. Sorry that's all the help I can be so far...

I have one for my '93. I don't use it all the time but have found the "Sweet spot" as jake mentioned. To work for me it has to be exactly on that spot. I've marked the right place with tie straps. I'm 5'8'', glad I've gotten it. Love the way you can take it off or slap it on in a matter of seconds!
