New wide windshield
#91
Been using my 12" round top windshield from these folks for the past year. I took it off in April for the summer and run my cut down stock 10" on my '07 Ultra. By early October, I'll have it back in place for the cooler weather coming. It does make a tremedous difference in the wind blockage, along with a couple of other add on items that seem to all but eliminate the wind on you. It allows me to ride to work in much more comfort well into November. Since I leave for work at 5:30am, it is a bit airish even in L.A. Lower Arkansas, that is.

I called and ordered a 10" windshield and lowers this morning (http://www.customflhtwindshields.net/index.html). I asked Robin that very question. Her answer is that for the rider it makes no difference as far as buffeting is concerned. But for the passenger, the half moon is far better (less buffeting) than the flat top.
By the way, Robin might be one of the most pleasant people I've had an opportunity to talk to lately.

I just received my 7" dark tinted half moon. Hopefully will replace the 6.5" standard width one I've been using for almost 2 yrs now.
Ordered last Thursday. Shipped this past Monday via USPS and arrived today in California (Friday).
Arrived in great shape with a personal note scribbled over the wrapper. Even came with an adhesive backed replacement fairing gasket.
Will report back on performance and sound quality difference if any later tonight.
Note from my ergonomics background: Follow the sight line measuring tips mentioned earlier in this thread. Just beacause 2 guys may be 5'-11" there may very well be big differences in inseam height. Some guys are TALLER in the saddle than others so you can't always use overall height as a gauge.
Report back soon,

Greetings Everyone;
I put on a 10-inch half-moon lite tint windshield and lowers from www.customflhtwindshields.net on Sunday morning.
WOW! That windshield and the lowers made an extremely positive difference. After putting them on, I went for a check-ride around the block. The check-ride ended up being 130 miles before I got back home.
The motorcycle was virtually unridable with the 4" inch "windshield" that came on it - really gave me a beating.
