Default 4.5 inch harley wind splitter any reviews?

I'm 5 foot 5 looks that that would be a good height windshield for me because the stock one seems to be the right height(just wish it was a little lighter ). Just wanted to eliminate some head shake at speed thought this would help. Any other brands that are the same height with a curve to reduce head shake that are a little clearer than the stock one. I would prefer a very light tint.


Any ideas?

save your money, the harley shields suck. I purchased the 7 inch for my SGS and it only made a little difference and I'm only a couple inches taller than you. Go to long ride shields and get one of theirs. $100 for a long ride shield and you can pick what size you need and what tint you want. The wind splitter is $150 or higher and you get 3 options; 4.5 inch, 7 inch, and 10 inch.

I have ran the HD 4.5 shield for about 8 month. I'm a couple inches taller but the buffeting is low I'm running the jes deflectors also. The tent will not bother you like your thinking, I thought the same thing. HD will let you demo the shield, after demoing the 7" (it sucked) the curve was just right to be wrong, the 4.5" shield works for me. And looks good to boot.
