What size is the stock windshield? I would like mine a little shorter, what are my choices? TIA..

 

I had mine cut down about 3 inches. I found an Indy that could do it but you can do it yourself - I heard there are some YouTube videos with instructions. Cheaper than replacing it.

 

The stock windshield on my 2013 measured right around 18". I ended up getting a taller shield.

 

Thinking what X said it right. stock it about 18, I've seen anywhere from 15-21 or so if bought form different co's.

or Some of us just cut them down.. I've cut about 1'' off mine Twice..

I don't think I'm ready to start cutting on my shield, sounds like pretty tedious work.

Long Ride Shields area a good option for a good price. I have a 20" on mine, but you can get a 16" shield from them which would be about 2" shorter than your stock shield. They usually offer a HD Forum discount.

+1 on Long Ride. My wife went with the 16" also and loves the height and the Lt Smoke color.

 

I've had both 15" ClearView and 17" Klock Werks, and I like to look over the shield.

Both are superior to stock, and I like the Klock Werks best.

 

I like looking over my windshield. When I bought my new to me '02 Heritage, it had a really scratched up 21" shield. (measured from the top of the headlight opening to he top of the windshield)

I really liked a friend's shorty shield so I measured it and bought a 17" shield from a seller on ebay for about 100 bucks and switched the glass. I loved it!!

Winter rolled around and I kinda missed that taller shield. So I shopped again on ebay and found a shield that had bad glass but good metal for around 50 bucks.

Another 100 bucks for a 21" inch shield and now I have a 'summer' shield, and a 'winter' shield.

The seller on ebay is bk-rider. If you decide to go that route there's a little trick to changing out the glass.

When you take the metal from the glass, there's an adhesive that some of it sticks to the glass and some sticks to the metal. You don't want the metal against the glass when you replace it, so in the bare spots use some black electrical tape as a 'buffer.' That will be enough to make it work.

It takes two hands to take the shield apart from the glass, but 3 or 4 to get it back together!
