There is a slight difference in the handling. You do get used to it fairly quickly. Woody's fairings are quick disconnect, going in the same place as the original windshield. I get to ride whatever I want to ride, except a sporty, by reconfiguring the scooter: Street King, Electra King, Std RoadKing, stripped down king, etc. The club members call my scooter my steel Barbie-doll, since they never know how she is going to be dressed until I show up.
