I received the prototype a week ago. Windshield was a little tall for me but the vents did reduce noise and made for a calmer ride between 35 and 50 mph. Still significant buffeting at 65 mph the target zone. I gave the feedback to Mark Lawernce of calsic he had me open up the vents by one inch side and bottom. Made the quiet zone bigger 30 - 55 mph nice and calm. But buffeting still there at 65 and up less but still more than i wanted. I fowarded him that info last Sunday and i haven't heard anything back yet. Not sure what that means. I am going no windshield today to see what that is like. If i get no repsonse from Mark i will definitely be looking af the Klockwerks.

Here is a link to some pics.

These are motorcycles we are talking about here right? You should expect wind! If you don't want so much "buffeting" you should have bought a bat wing style bike.

 

Memphis shades $79.00 waaay better than stock.

All klock werks parts are very good in fitment and quality, you will really like that windshield, let us know if you get one

 

are you kidding me there is no bike worse for wind buffering then a bat wing bike

 

I dunno 'bout that....................rode my '84 FLH for 18 years and found the "buffeting" that I believe everyone is complaining about to be minimal. I went to a RG to get away from, I think I'll call it (perhaps incorrectly), wind shear, where the wind and passing air at speed tends to affect the handling of the machine. For sure there is more air on a RG. You can't go fast enough to keep the rain from falling in your lap due to the fairing being so much farther forward.

 

I've had my 12 inch KlockWerks on for a couple of weeks now and it works well for me. I'm 5'8" about 210lbs and find I have clean are instead of "buffuting". I think I just found my main Shield. That said I allways remember I'm on a motorcycle so a little bit of wind, rain or maybe a bug is just part of the deal. It is after all a SHORT shield but I find that for me it cleans up the air flow better than the POS stocker.

 

I too liked the look of the KW shield, but after reading some of the results, I'm going with the Clearview GT large. I guess I've been spoiled with the great protection on the Heritage windshield. I can smoke behind that thing at 70 if I want too.

I'm 6'1 and right now the RG is no fun to ride at any speed above 50mph with the factory 12" sheild. That's even with the soft lowerson as well.

 

I find mine fun to ride up to and including 110 mph. Stock 12"
