Asking brothers and sisters out there for advice on these windshield for a 2014 Road King. Looks to good to be true so needing some help and info with the product.

Here's the website http://www.longrideshields.com/Articles.asp?ID=276

 

I bought one for my EG and liked it a lot. Performed as advertised, looked good, well made, and held up well over a number of years.

 

Forum sponsor & often running deals.

I just bought 4 of their windscreens ( used on the classifieds) for testing on my FLHTC

Great customer service and support. I've had there windshields on my last two ultras.

 

Thank you my brothers this really helps.

 

For my RK I went with Freedom Shields.

 

Always there to answer any and all questions on the phone. Bought one for the Heritage I had and now I've got one on my Road Glide.
No complaints!

 

I bought the Ultra Elite last year, love it.

$67 with free shipping on their sight now, great deal!

 

Tips for buying a windshield:
Make sure the windshield is not curved where you need to look through to see the road. There is distortion in this curve.

Never buy a tinted windshield if you ever expect to look through it. In bright daylight they don't diminish the view much but they never improve the view. The problem is your eyes adjust to the ambient light all around you but you are looking through the darkened windshield. If it was possible to dim the light everywhere except where you are looking then it would improve your view. That's what car tinting laws are all about. In cars you can tint any window but the windshield (local laws vary). This way your eyes are adjusted for dim light but you are looking through a clear windshield. Never tint a windshield. That's the law for cars and should be the law for motorcycles. Some motorcycle windshields are very low but when I'm going very slow on a gravel driveway I want to look right in front of my cycle.

If it's bright out use sunglasses. They dim the light everywhere and make it easy on your eyes. Better yet you can take them off at night.

Yes I know tint is cool but I'm more worried about seeing where I'm going. Ride safe. Use a clear windshield.

On a related note never use those yellow tinted glasses for night driving. The experts all say tinting can only decrease light. (I guess we shouldn't need an expert to tell us the obvious)

 

Thumbs up on my Ultra Elite, but definitely wait for a sale, up to 60% off.

I look over mine and it took me a couple of tries to get the height right, but once I found that sweet spot I get visibility and wind protection both. Personally I don't like looking through a windshield at all, no matter how clear. Just my preference.
