I currently use and have only used an ultra wide LRS recurve windshield for many years. Creature of habit, I guess. I don't feel one company's flip-up technology can be too much different than their competition. For those of you that have tried multiple shields, is there a manufacture that offers a recurve windshield in a shape that provides a better 'pocket' than another Base the shield height on the suggestion that the height should be just under your nose.

Traditional rounded top vs flat top vs ex-wide top vs 'wind splitter' shape, etc.

Thanks in advance,
Rob

 

FWIW my 7" LRS recurve seems to flip up the bugs much better than my 8" Freedom Shield does. Seems sometimes a bug will get between the 7" shield and me make a couple of circles than exit between the left front side of the tank and the fairing. Also seems like I will get more bugs splat on my glasses and forehead with the 8" FS?

 

My 8 inch Klock Werks creates a completely calm pocket of air between you and the shield. You can smoke a cig and not have the ashes blown off. Have not tried their 10 incher, but assume it would be even better. I also have a six inch model. Love the looks, but lets lots of air hit you around the shoulders. Great for hot weather.

 

I haven't tried a lot of windshields, but I've had the stock 10", a Windsplitter 7" and a 8-1/2" Klockworks.

The Klockworks flair is by far the best for me. It leaves a nice pocket of calm like stated above. It looks good and works even better. IMHO

 

For the money ,quality and effectiveness L.R.S can not be beat.

 

I have a 7" and 10" LRS Ultra Wide. But, the GF is getting a lot of wind. Always leaned away from Klock Works, because of the price.

 

Have a lok at 'MadStad' shields. Works a treat for me...b.

 

However I do like my LRS 7" on my HI bike where bugs and cold aren't an issue.

 

I've had and liked the LRS. Really haven't tried any other, in fact, I just ordered the LRS 8" light tint for my 2013 Limited.
