I bought the Memphis Fats 19" clear windshield kit and used it for a while on my Sport Glide. Also bought the 21" screen later and it gave the best protection from wind buffeting around my helmet my my height (5' 11"). The Fats windshield is very well made and designed as you can adjust the shield angle to fine tune the wind deflection and pretty much eliminate buffeting around the shoulders and head. It works way better than the stock windshield on the 2 Road Kings I rode for 12 years including long trips out west. However, it does change the looks of the Sport Glide which you may or may not appreciate. Some pics below.

21 inch screen

Like @VernDiesel , I have the Gustafson 15” vented. Unlike him, I have installed the lowers and can tell you they work great. A dramatic reduction in air over the tank. I have minimal buffeting, if any. Love the set up.

Did you mess up your warranty when you hooked up your Power Vision? I'm thinking about hooking my old PV up to my 2020 Heritage.

Yep you will when you hook up PV.

I got 116HP out of my SE tuner stage 3 114ci softail without voiding my warranty. How much power are you trying to get?

4" curved risers and chrome switches
Stage1 Ventilator + SE street cannons + SEPST
I use my old power vision to monitor her vitals
Garmin drive 60 gps







Soft lowers are so good at eliminating buffetting, i might replace them with hard permanent ones.

So far I am super happy with the bike
Great Looking bike and done very very well! If she had front floorboards I would be finished but that is just my preference so an old man can reposition quite often, not too many years ago I would like what is there now better.

Just wondering what type and or brand of helmets are you Sport Glide riders using for wind deflection? Thinking of selling my Street Glide Special, which has spoiled me with not much wind turbulence.

I just wear a half-helmet. I could ride with no eye protection and the wind would be no problem. I have a Gusataffson 15" vented windshield and lower deflectors on my stock fairing to control the wind. Works great. 5'10" tall.

Shoei Neotec 2 and an RF-1200 here. No complaints either either.
