Bad a$$ looking machine. I gotta get the Guru bumpers and the Rotos. Too much paint and plastic damage already. Wish I could get the side rail protection for the XPs. I seem to mangle my bike on a regular basis.
I've got the same windshield for summer. Works well and is not too high as to get hammered by branches. If you move your head above the main air flow at speed, one can realize how much air it actually displaces. The faster you go the better it works. Is it mandatory....no, but it does help. Stupid to say, but it looks pretty cool too.

I wish the same thing. I had them on my 06-500 and 08-800. I put them on her 08-800 when I traded mine, also my BigHorns and 12" Black 108's
The short windshield does wonders as FunRide said. I do have a tall clear one for in the winter, it's a neccesity driving 5-10 miles or more across a frozen lake to get to "where the fish are biting" at 20 to -20 degrees on a windy day.
