I am going to get a LRS shield and it has a curve at the top. Search this forum about that and you will find a lot of folks love them.

The problem is that I have the accessory quick-detach windshield, not one that comes as part of the bike, and I can't find anybody who makes a replacement for it.

My windshield is HD part number 58346-06 and the HD part number for the replacement shield is 58061-96.

Kutter carries it, but LRS does not appear to carry any replacement shields for quick detach windshields. I'll give them a phone call and see what they've got.

Checking back in...

I talked with the parts guy, and found out that you can't find the replacement windshield, because it's a service item, and I'm "the public". You can't find any service items via a search on the Harley web site. The replacement plastic piece, including new double stick tape, etc., is $128.

You may also take a look at a product called Laminarlip. I use this on my VTX and it really helped with the turbulence that I was having.


I am not having an issue with my Heritage at this point

Here's a picture showing the home-made lowers that cured about 90% of the turbulence you speak of. That was on my Sporty, my Low Rider has the same problem, but fitting lowers will be a challenge due to the auxiliary lighting.
