I really like the LRS I put on my bike. I went with the standard height Ultra as it fits me just about right. I can see over it with no problems and easily duck down behind it if I need to. Tried a shorter shield at one time and got a lot of buffeting.


To me the recurve design seemed to make a big difference at cruising speeds as far as air flow. Not so much at the 75-80 I like to run on the interstate.


But dang the price and quality were right! As a matter of fact they are on sale right now for $47.80 (for the 12")

The 6" was $39. I may get a 12" too, for the price it's like a sore dick...you can't beat it

Yep! Totally agree Mark. I bought 2 when I ordered mine. I heartily recommend them to anyone looking for a new shield. Especially if you spend long hours on the road. I believe it cuts down on the fatigue factor if you aren't fighting the wind so much

I should look into an upgrade for my shield, then.

No kidding. I have a H-D accessory shield with the clamshell quick releases. Just need to make sure they have one to fit.
Thanks for the link.
