Default windshield advice

Hello, I'm planning a 1000 plus mile trip in the fall on my 10 Wide Glide. I've installed the new Harley mustache bars for some leg room. Any advice on a windshield? I'm 6'2" and have never been able to find a windshield that hasn't had some buffeting.

Get one that fits how you normally sit on the bike. Not rocket science.

You can easily cut one down. Guess high and go from there. I hate looking through one so I go short. Eat a few bugs but I won't change it.

You're going to feel wind on a motorcycle.

I prefer a noisy buffet over a Category 1 hurricane blast.

I've put LRS shields on my last two E Glides. Been very satisfied with both.

You are going to need a tall one but you still want to be able to see over it. Mine fits a Wide Glide and is not too wide for yours. Get clear since you look over it any way and a tint just makes it stand out and serves no purpose.

if your considering anything bigger than a flyscreen you might as well get a batwing.
