Default Question about windshields

As I posted I bought a 2010 cvo ultra over the weekend. It has a 4 inch windshield looks cool but way to much wind for me. I am 6' 2" tall any sugestions on a wind shield that is taller. All imput greatly appreciated. Thans. Bob

Bob... you're going to get as many answers to this as there are riders. There are many threads on windshields too with varying opinions.

I've been very happy with the http://www.longrideshields.com/

Matt is a sponsor here and his pricing and customer service is top notch. I use his Classic Flip on both the SESG and my UC Trike. He has two other styles you may want to look at. The Med tint is fine for all occasions but I have the dark tint on the SESG, not good for night riding is you have to see through it.

Went with the 15" myself. No rocks or sand in the face anymore. Maybe my glasses will have a longer life.

I have used the Clearview 9.5 inch with the recurve. Really like it and treats me well.

Another vote for a Long Ride Shield. Put on an X-stream about a month ago and love it.

Matt @ LRS all the way. I had the 4" windshield which is usless, looks good but function? Tried the 6" and now have the 8" Ultra smoke gray and feels just right, minimum buffeting and they will help you out with sizing.

Currently running the Clearview recurve 8.5" on road trips and the stock 4" around town.

There are many recurves to choose from I also like the Klockworks 6.5 as well there are many out there to pick from.

Harleybob, I prefer the Klock Werks 11 1/2" Flare windshield. Does a great job of turning the bugs and rocks up and away from your head!

Hey Bob...Had the same questions when I did mine. I've went thru Cee Baileys, new HD Shield, Stock, Clearview and wound up w/ LongRideShield (12" recurve). The Clearview doesn't have the "shoulders that the LRS have and I like that look.

I'm 6'1" and have no problems w/ buffeting. The LRS looks better also w/ the squared top, IMO.
