Ordered a 16" Road King Elite clear recurve for my 2016 RK. I'm 5'6 with a 30" inseam. I knew 16" was a big drop form the stock 20", but I didn't want to hedge my bets and the 16" seemed to be the right choice when using their measuring method.

It came in about 5 days. Shield was optically perfect with no defects.

My first concern was that it did not look like it was going to fit when I laid it over my existing shield mounted on the bike. It was also narrower than stock which I was not aware of. My top cross bar looked to come almost right to the edge of the screen. I called LRS to talk about my concerns. They were very nice on the phone and suggested I test mount it as it was hard to judge fit prior to doing that. The reason I hadn't test mounted it was I didn't want to dismantle my stock shield for something that looked so far off from the get go since I commute daily on my bike.

Well I waited a few days and finally gave it a try...well I guess I shouldn't judge a shield by its looks...

It fit perfectly and mounting was a breeze, even for a shield novice like me. It also looks good on the bike. For being so much shorter the proportions still look good. Sitting on the bike it seemed to come to the right spot on my face. Nice to see over the shield. now to test it out.

Went for a ride today and all I can say is wow. So much quieter than stock. The recurve seems to make a huge difference and I'm still able to ride with my visor up on my full face helmet comfortably up to 80mph even though I'm sitting well above the shield. I wear transition tri-focals currently so I did have slight visual buffet at the upper speeds, but I blame the sensitive and narrow vision bands of my glasses. Not sure I'd do tri-focals again personally for a bunch of reasons...

When I lowered my glasses and looked over them, my vision was completely stabile. A normal pair of riding glasses would probably be perfect. Below 70mph it wasn't an issue at all, and it was still perfectly rideable at 80+, but I did notice it so thought I'd mention it.

Closing my visor gave a bit more noise, but still much better than stock.

I might try an 18" the next time they have a sale just to see if it can get any better, but for now I'm very happy with the highly reduced wind noise and turbulence with the LRS....all in a much smaller shield that really gives great visibility and doesn't get between me and the road. A+ from me.

 

Thanks for the great review..I'm ordering there this week for the first time..

Peace and Prayers

 

Great company, service and shields. I've had 3 and they're perfect. I put a 18 on my 2014 road King and it works great

 

I'm a fan of LRS. I have 3 of their shields!

 

After trying many different shields went with LRS, very happy, got 3 different sizes as well!

 

Thinking of buying a 2nd set of hardware so I can swap the 16" and 18" easier. The 20" must be like ridding in a Caddy...

 

Just installed my LRS nine inch flat top elite on my 012' Ultra this past Thursday Took the bike for a spin Friday. I really like this shield.Less buffeting and a clear view of what is in front of me, no more stock shield in my line of sight. I'm 5'10" and the stock shield was always right in my line of sight. The dark tint really looks great on my blue pearl and black ultra. It's a very well made high quality shield. Bought it over the Memorial Day sale which was a great deal. Would recommend LRS to anyone looking at a new shield.

 

They are an outstanding company with an excellent product.
I recommend them highly!

 

I've had an LRS on my 2010 Ultra for quite sometime, very pleased with it.

 

I've got three of them, an ultra regular, an ultra elite and a flattop for my 05 ultra.
Great service and great product.
