Default Vented windshield for 2017 Road King?

Does anyone make a vented windshield for a 2017 Road King? I want it to look as stock as possible (Thats part of the allure of the RK). Im not looking for a contour or recurve, but a stock looking RK windshield that has a vent. ( I tried a quick Google and all I found was recurves and newer CVO models. )

I have a Clearview shield for my '13 King with the recurve and vent. You can order without the recurve. The normal position for the vent is above the horizontal bar, but I ordered it below. Here's the shield you can configure what you want. It's just the plastic, but you'll use your existing bracket.

The stock height for my '13 King is 19 1/2", but not sure on the newer Kings. Just measure from the top of the headlight cutout to the top of the shield.

Here's mine...

Did the vent end the buffeting issue?

Vents absolutely reduce buffeting. So do fork deflectors and top-of-windshield deflectors.

If you don't like the windsplitter shield, you can add a vent to pretty much anything. Just google "gl1800 vent". I've used them in the past with good results.
