I have an 09 Road Glide and am having a problem with wind comming from the lower part of the fairing and hitting my knees and traveling up. Does anyone know it there are small "air wings" that can be installed here (similar to the ones on the lower part of the batwing fairing). Had a 16" windsheild, now have a 19", not happy with it either. Gonna try a 16" Klock Werks next. Im pretty sure that the small "lip" on the top edge will take care of the issue comming in from the top corners. Thank you for any comments.

 

Adding lower fairings will help eliminate some of that wind.

 

You'll save yourself a lot of money in the long run by just getting lowers.

After 4 windshields, and multiple seats, it's the lowers that make all the difference in minimizing or eliminating turbulence on the Road Glides, in my experience.

Check my gallery for pictures of one option, the Hogg Chopps, version. There are other hard lower choices, but they will cost you more. Some have had success with soft lowers, but I have no experience with them.

 

I also agree the lowers help directing the wind, that and the little deflector that mounts under the triple tree if you dont have one.

 

For shield, try the Windvest 12" or 14" if you are over 6'. They are less expensive than the KW, do a better job and don't create the noise and turbulance and don't need to be as tall to do all this. Tried em all and Windvest best by far.

 

I just installed a 14" clear.I'm 5'10" and it works great.Tried a 8" and it was too short,got blasted by the wind.
the 14" is about 1-2" shorter than stock.

 

+1...I have never rode with my lowers off. I bought my RG used and the they came with the bike. First thing I did was put on the lowers before driving away.

 

Hogg Chopp lowers, fork baffle and clear view +2 windshield. I have ZERO buffetting and a nice clean pocket of fresh air to ride in.

 

Lowers make a huge difference on a RG. So I hear.

 

I think the HD lowers look good on a RG. Fit the bike well.
