Why do the majority of people dislike the stock windshield on a Street Glide? It is one of the reasons that I purchased the Street Glide. I like the wind in your face. When you are riding an Ultra and there is no wind, I feel like I am in a car or something?

unfortunatly the cooler something looks the less functional it is. most riders get beat up from the buffetting wind coming over the top of the shield

 

I loved the look of my stock SG shield. Too bad the wind coming over the shield hit me right in the eye/forehead area. It made it difficult to keep my glasses in place. So I put an 8 inch shield on and put the stock shield with the rest of my stock parts.

 

frank.. u wanna feel no wind... ride a gold wing.. sheeeee... NO WIND !!

as 4 your ride. thats why the make shorter windshields.

 

I do 2 things....If I use my stock seat, I run a 6" smoked shield, just about perfect for the wind(road trips, long hauls)

If I run my Corbin, which seats me a lot lower then the stock, I run my 4" stock shield.(around town, short trips)

Additionaly, to ease on some of the buffeting, I use the smoked side wings on the fairing and it seems to help alot regardless of which shield I'm running.

 

The 08 streetglide I have on order I am having the stealer put a bigger wind sheild on it before I pick it up.

 

george check out some of the aftermarket windshields and save yourself some money. sin state cycles or fast aire both make smoked windshields for a lot less than harley.

 

Stock windscreen is ca-ca... too tall.. looks crappy... Only gwingscan have such an ugly looking windscreen.. Looks wierd on a EG.
6"is best... ask my wife ....

 

I find my 6.5" Clearview recurve keeps most of the Cool look and provides much less buffeting and allows me to hear the tunes better.

 

I got rid of the stock windshield because it threw the wind directly into my line of sight which made it tough to see at 75 MPH. I now have the 8" shield and can't tell the difference from stock unless I'm parked next to a SG with the stock shield.
