I put a deposit on a 2011 Street Glide (Sedona Orange w/ Power Pak) that is due to be delivered in the next couple of weeks and am looking for windshield suggestions. I'd like to keep it low profile with decent wind protection. Maybe something that's 8" tall max?

Any of you have experience with any of these and which would you reccomend?

HD Windsplitter ?
Klockwerks ?
LRS Ultra ?
Clearview ?
Other (describe)?

Thanks.

 

I have an 8" Windvest and like it alot ---- I am 6'2" and have a LePera silhouette seat which sits lower than the stock seat. Still get some wind but nothing objectionable. paul

 

This one! It's a Cee Bailey's SSC 11" in dark grey. They say that their 11" is equal to the height of an 8" non-curved. Totally decent wind protection with my C&C Solo saddle. Much better than decent actually.

 

I have a Klockwerks 6" on mine. Works for me.

 

I use a Klockwerks...dark smoke.

It keeps the wind off of my face at speed, looks sharp.....

I do wear a helmet with a face shield (I didn't like it at first, but I have to protect my nose after surgery). I can't take the chance of a random bird hit, road gator hit, etc.

 

Of the ~15 windshields (oh yes, it's true) I had on my FLHX, I'd have to suggest the LRS 9" ultra. The 10" had a better dynamic - If that's what's really important, go with the 10". The 9" while only a bit shorter has the "lower shoulders" (for lack of a better term) that makes it much more "style-friendly" to the bike. 8" same thing - On the under-10" models, the side curve is a bit more gentle on the way up. 10" and up, very "straight up" and then curved at the top.

Anyway --

The 10" X-Stream is also very nice if you don't mind the style. The big difference between the two would be that the X-Stream type shield gives you gentle, but rapid pulses of air (the "shake your glasses" stuff) while the "flip" type shield gives you slower, but more substantial pulses. Not like the medium-speed paint-shaker pulses from a stock-style shield or anything, but in the long run, I found a "flip" to just be more comfortable.

 

Windvest 6" smoke colored with recurve.

 

7" LRS X-Stream on my 2011 Merlot SG and 8" LRS X-Stream on my son's 2011 Sadona Orange SG...

 

I've got a 6" LRS Classic. It looks great, fine quality and controls the wind ok. I'm sure the ultra flip does a better job but I wanted the stock low windshield look. I am 5'-9" and still get some buffeting but not terrible. If you want a little less wind you might try an 8" or a little more recurve. I'm pretty happy with my shield, guess I would purchase it again.

 

Clark's Custom Windshields, the last windshield you will ever purchase. I have the 7.5" dark tint flame wide mar resistant half moon and the 10" light tint wide mar resistant half moon. The extra width makes a big difference to the rider and passenger. I love them both. You can find more info in this thread.
