Default New RGS looking for windshield ideas

Just picked up a new road glide and as I have been told that I would want a different windshield, well I do. So I am looking for any input good or bad experiences what do you guys recommend. I'm about 6' tall and don't really want to go super tall if I don't have to. Seems like a lot of wind noise compared to my road king.

I have a 15" Windspliter on mine. It works but not great so I'm looking too.

I should have my new FLTRX next week and I've looked at a couple options.

Freedom shield and windvest both get a lot of positive comments, as well as the new klockwerks units. I'm personally leaning towards the freedom shields piece.

Shopping as well. Things I've learned so far.

Freedom Shield works great and price is good as well.
KW is hit or miss depending on what you get but all are distorted when looking through top edge. Lotsa folks don't like that aspect.

I'll most likely go with the Freedom Shield when I switch.

I just ordered a Freedom shield this morning after they told me if I don't like the height they will exchange it. I will keep you updated on my results

I have had nothing but great experiences with Long Ride Shields. Their recurve shields are pretty dang amazing. Their customer service is top notch as well.

I think they're still having a 60% off sale as I write this.

From what I could find Long Ride doesn't make one for the 15 RGS yet

Neither could I, I loved the ultra elite I had on my FLHX, and wish they made something similar for the new Roadglide.

I am 5-11 and the 15" wind splitter was too tall; i went with the CVO windshield which is 14" and i think it is much better at 75 MPH with the stock i couldn't hear the radio at all, but with the CVO i can hear the radio at 3/4 volume easily & wind noise is lower than the 15 inch splitter
