I've had a couple of times where a rock got kicked up and I was glad the windshield took that instead of my face. Same with bugs.

Ya, I took my FatBob to Springfield and back one day this summer... 200 miles each way. Do not have a fairing or a windshield, yet.
My neck from the wind pulling on the lid of the helmet was just dead tired. The part that really surprised me was my legs. Having the FWD controls, I really had to fight towards the end of the trip to keep my legs in a comfortable position without squeezing against the wind. The next day my legs were extremely sore.
The next two things to go on the bike will be some highway pegs and a custom fairing\windshield for comfort. Unfortunately, the only fairing out there for a FatBob is the stupid BatWing by Memphis Shades. I don't like it on the Fatbob, looks out of place. I'd rather get a smaller fairing with a longer windshield, but they don't friggen make them for the Fat Bob. It's the only Dyna with the dual headlight, so they just decided to not make them... *sigh*
I found one mom and pop shop that makes a custom mold, but there is no attachment for a windshield. I want one of those for long-distances...
