Default Windshield Choices

I searched some and read some threads here and there . I got a Wind Splitter demo shield for the weekend , got the 4.5" and it works if I duck down , 7" is most likely the one I need to try.

I've also considered the Klock Works , both seem pricey for a piece of bent Lexon , they are sexy looking , I'll give em that.

I'm about to grab a Long Ride Shields Recurve Ultra Elite 7" or 8" for my 14 SG , decent discount right now , 1/2 and then some of the other two.

Any body got good / bad reviews or comparisons between these or others ?

I've got the 8" LRS shield. A little too high for my taste. One inch lower would have been perfect. Shield edge hovers right around my line of sight. Other than that, it does a great job as far as wind deflection but I also have the fang deflectors. Here is a picture of the 8 inch:

I tried an 8" klockwerks and wasn't happy with it. Went to a 9" dark tint LRS on my street glide and was much happier. With the stock seat the height was just about perfect. I now have a C&C solo seat that sits me down a little bit and puts the edge right in my line of sight. Next time they have one of their sales I'll get an 8", or maybe even a 7".

If you are looking for a 7" windsplitter I have one I will sell you. I bought that and a 6 1/2 Klockwersk and decided on the Klock

I own 3 LRS shields. 8" Ultra Elite dark, 10" Ultra dark, 10" Wide dark

Love each of them for their own reasons.

I won't even consider another brand.

Etched by LRS when I bought the shield.
