Guilty of the same, took it off last year and headed out for a sunday ride. 30 miles later down the highway thought damn this really sucks, cant breath, bugs up the nose and in the face, and most of all the wind cut under my shades and eyes were watering so bad I had to drive in the slow lane just to see. The Roadie does look more "beefy or mean" with the shield off though. Just my .02

I have never used a windshield before, even on my Vstar. It makes that much of a difference?
I commute daily on the freeway and never really thought too much about it...
Is it worth picking one up and trying?

I've only ever driven with a windshield once. My head got beat up bad by the wind coming off and around it, that I've never driven with one since. I don't know if it had to be taller or lower, but it was way worse than driving with no windshield.

Yeah it really does make a big difference, I took mine off last year and it went right back on, but that what when I was in the Navy and all the stuff on my uniform really beat the crap out of me so it went back on, now being less than a mile from work and only about 10 miles from the barn I think I might leave it off for a bit, at least until a longer ride comes up or I can get a short windshield that is not all scratched up, I think that scratched shield really takes to much away from my bike.

My stock shield beat the crap out of me, when wearing my full face, until I got some Bucks Lowers. Difference with the lowers was like the difference between shield & no shield.

Bucks Lowers?? What are they and how can I get some? I see lots of HD lowers on ebay will they fit the Roadie?

In a speed less than 70 miles I dont need the windshield, but is uncomfortable for me to ride higher without it.
In town I prefer the look without it, but doesnt bother me if is on the bike......
Here are both looks:
