Beautiful bike and way too nice to hid with a fairing IMHO. A shield is the way to go and front axle covers. As far as what height shield, I have learned to go taller than you think you need. Rule of thumb is the top of the shield should terminate at the bottom of your nose.
I've been looking at the Memphis Shades Slim shield as well.I'm thinking - maybe it will grow on me. Do you know of any other company that makes shields, besides Memphis Shades and Freedom Shields?
The front axle covers I'll pick up soon.
Thanks for the tip on the height of the shield

I’ve ran Memphis Shades, have one as a spare but not my favorite.
I had a Clearview on the Switchback. Good product.
Klockwerks I’ve heard good things but I’ve never ran one.
I always go to Freedom Shields because I know I’ll get a good quality product and customer service is awesome.

Advanced
I've got 3 different Memphis Shades windshields for my 2020. I started out with the Road Warrior and then ordered the Drop Top with the tallest shield size. After using that for a year I decided to go with a Memphis Slims 15 inch Dark Black. I wanted to try a freedom shield setup but it won't work with the Memphis Shades hardware. Both Long Ride Shields and Freedom Shields will only work with the stock Harley quick detach system. I have 12 inch KST bars on mine right now and the Drop Top and Memphis Slims work great. The Road Warrior fairing I'm only using for the Interstate rides.

I like the Memphis Shields hardware because you can adjust the angle, HD hardware does not seem to be adjustable, it's also chrome...

Have not been able to find one on a RKS.
Any buffeting on the 15 inch Slim? I'm 5'11", wondering how the 15" would work out.
Why do you run the Road warrior only on interstate?
Is it a pain to mount?
Thanks for the info.
