Cee Bailleys SERG on Stock RG
After talking with Joe at Cee Baileys I decided to try the SERG shield on my 08 RG. (I had a 15" euro that came with some blemishes that I sent back.) Joe informed me they had been doing some testing on the serg with stock rg's. Now I liked the euro but it appeared to me the serg would offer better protection for traveling, it does stand up taller like a stock shield but still has the curves of a euro with a little more flip at the top. I am 6'1" tall 33" inseam,I tend to sit tall in the saddle I use a stock 08 seat and have FLHX shocks on the rear so it does sit lower in the back. One Big point I should make is you will need HD gasket #57660-09 to mount the shield (about $30 from your dealer) and the serg comes with CB new bolts and washers for RG's.
Side note: I think this set up with the gasket and cb bolts will work with other shields.
I ordered the 14" SERG light smoke (personal preference for the times I may have to look through it I want to be able to and I always seem to be out in the dark). It took about a week from California to Ohio (not bad). Mounting the shield was simple and using the gasket and new bolts and washers made the seal to the front fairing solid and secure I am really impressed with this setup, no more problems with the silly rubber weather strip. The 14' measure 11 5/8" from the hd symbol on top of the speedo/tach. My stock was 12 1/4. It looks great!
First ride I was only able to do 30mi and it was in 20-25mph got on expressway and at suggested 65mph it was a good performer very solid the shield held its own and did not shake or wobble like my stock did. When I got over the suggested posted 65 it continued to be a great performer never once did I have turn up the radio even with the strong winds.
Next ride weather a lot calmer and the shield still continued to impress. At a modest 65-80mph wind was just above my glasses hitting the front of my half helmet. Buffeting very modest compared to stock and again no changes needed in radio volume.
Overall the shield is very impressive as far as performance, actually the best compared to others I have tried from different company's (including one from cb).
Because of my height I am right at the in between of a 14" and 15" so I am going to also try a 15" to compare the two especially for when the wife rides with me I want her to be comfortable too otherwise nobody will be happy.
The Cee Baileys SERG is Defiantly the shield for me 14" or 15" I am done shopping either way.

I'll look for your review, because this looks like a much better option than the Euro. The euro 16" I have is much noiser than the stock one. Looks like the SERG version sits more upright and the side cut/flares start higher up on the windshield. Both should help reduce noise.
