road glide windshield
hi there!
In spring I will ride my new roadglide '09 CVO and I had so far a lot of problems with my former harleys with wind-turbulences .
so can anybody tell me the best windshield for me and my harley?
stock or may be "klock werks flare" windshield- and most important....... what height??
I am 74 inches tall and I would really be glad for some advices!!
cool rides and greetings from switzerland!

Lowers shuold be on your short list on the new SE. Congrats by the way, super sharp those SE's are! Cee bailys has a new shield for the Road Glides, looks like the KW flair but 3" taller and less wind noise I'm hoping, the 12" KW flair is brutal as far as wind noise goes! a 1"over clearview with a set of lowes is nice! I had a 2" over it was a bit to tall when riding 2 up, solo it was perfect I then tried a stock size Clearview Good solo not great like the 2" though, 2up near perfect, so that how I came to think the 1" over would be the perfect Clearview for my set on my 05 Road Glide, I have a perfect 12" KW flair if you'd like to give it try on the cheap $75 plus shipping. I'm thinking about the cee baileys Tall euro, Philm is testing one now, good thread on it too I'm 6'2"

I have lowers on my glide, and agree they help. I was one of the non-paid testers for the new Cee Bailey's shield, and they are definitely better than the stock Glide shields, either short or narmal height.
However, the best I have tried is a Cee Baileys +3 (normal shape). I am 5'9" so I look thru it, which I got used to on my GoldWing.
IT IS PERFECT (other than looking thru it, which I realize is not what is normally recommended). I guess than means it's not really perfect either
It does, however, completely get rid of the infamous RG buffeting problem, at least for me. Perfect for higher speed autbahn cruising 75-80 and up mph.

One of my riding buddies has a 2000 Gold Wing with the 2" shy of a roof windshield his biggest fear is fog it stops him in his tracks lol! Looking over the shield is must for me because of the time I leave for work, AM fog is around more than I'd like! I'd get a set of color matched lower's then try the stock shield, you'll still most likely swap shields but hey you'll have lowers!
