Hey All,

Just test road a 2010 RG Custom.. Sweet bike.. Obviously the turd of a windshield on it produced massive buffetting. I'm interested in picking one up, however want to know a few things.

Does anyone have a pic of their RG with a different windshield on it, that retains the cool looks, but provides a better wind tunnel from buffeting?

I love the bike, but DONT love the looks with a tall windshield on it.. If I can't retain the cool factor, I'm going SG.. But the ride was so smooth and nice with the fixed fairing, I'd like to see what solution there is out there..

Also, I have an 06 SG, and the buffeting on the 4" is much better than this RG.. Do you think it has to do with more than just the windshield, ie: the fairing engineering?

I'm 5'10" if that helps.



Thx.

 

Also, maybe no windshield would produce more clean air? or at least a much smaller one? Even so , I'd like more protection than a smaller one, just wondering.

what about a klockwerks or any "flip up" style?

 

Also try adding the wind deflector kit. 30 bucks and works great.

 

Do you have a link by chance?

 

here is the harley part # 57000063. wont make up for a taller windshield but when used with one thats out the wind that comes up from under the fairing.

 

I just bought a 2011 Road Glide Custom. I have looked at serval websites and forums on a different windshiel for my bike and I'm starting with a 12 Windvest in dark smoke. It isn't to tall and provides good protcetion. I'm 6ft and have a 33 in inseam.

 

12" Windvest. If it's ugly...I don't care. At least it's not a SG. My wife rides one of those. In this house, a SG is a girls bike.

I have a short Klockwerks shield on my 2009 RG that I think is 6 1/2". I wear a full face helmet 95% of the time and never have a buffeting problem. If I wear my half helmet the visor is just at the level to catch the wind coming off the shield and I do get some buffeting.

The shield looks great and I am very pleased. I am 6'1".

 

Both of your criteria, perceived buffeting and coolness, are highly subjective. Don't really know how much real help it is to gather a bunch of opinions, but I'll play along.

This is my scoot with a 12" tinted Klock Werks. I think it works well. BTW, I also have those $30 deflectors installed.
