Interesting conversation that I'll be able to "A-B" very soon!
My main ride, my red 2003 Ultra, has the stock "high" windshield, which I "look through", and REALLY like, for the full protection it gives.
My "new" bike, a 100TH Anniversary model 2003 Ultra I just bought, has the shorter lightly smoked shield installed, which I will most definitely be looking "over".
I'm looking forward to finding out which I prefer, since it will be an "apples to apples" comparison, the bikes being the same.
