Default 14 batwings and windshield bags?

Looking for some feedback on the functionality of the windshield bags and the vent?

HD has a model for the 14's so I would assume that the vent is still operational?

Anyone using one and have some feedback?

There's no way the vent can work as designed with a shield bag attached. The air from the vent is forced directly up the back of the windshield. That can't happen withe the bags there. I've always had shield bags in the past. Tried one on my SGS and took it off after a 200 mile ride. My eyeglasses bounced with the bag attached and vent open. Glasses stay put without bags and vent open. I use a LRS 8" Ultra Wide shield.

Just my experience.

I was skeptical that it would work correctly. But it works fine with the correct bags from Harley

Mine works fine on my Ultra with 10" LRS. That combo since about 2K ago.
I can notice the vent still works.
Sucks in the rain if forget and leave open...rain comes on in...well into my face lol.
I think the bag adds a nice look from the front as well as riders view. And I have stuff I need in it..happy with it

I had one on my 2014. It made no difference to the vent. I thought it blocked to much of my vision, and the pockets were to small to be useful. Took it off and have not missed it.

I put one on... ran 20 miles in the interstate, wind hit me straight in the lips.

Ripped that fkkr off and took it straight back to the dealer for credit.
