Yet Another W/Shield Question
I have a 2014 SGS, installed a Klock Werks 6.5" W/S and along with a few other air deflectors I'm very satisfied with the reduction in buffeting.
The thing I dont like is the distortion in the Klock Werks. Normally I'm able to just look over the top but when glancing down thru the W/S it plays tricks with my vision. Especially when looking at the fog line thru it.
My question is this: what LRS would you experts suggest I replace the Klock Werks with? Height; Style; and I do like the dark tint with my Vivid SGS.

I had an 07 SG and tried half a dozen windshields. The one I kept going back to was the standard smoke 7 inch shield. I could see over it and through it if needed.
Here's the one for your bike:

Are you saying you tried other air deflectors or have a few other air deflectors currently installed in addition to the Klock Werks?
(first coffee, just trying to understand, thanks)

I went with a 8 inch lrs ultra. Never looked through it, on over. Coupled that with the under fairing wings and no buffeting at all. You can get the dark tint if that is what you like. Great people to work with too

I had the KW shield, thin, vibrates, and distorts lasted about five minutes on my bike. Went with the LRS 9" re-curve, have three of them now.

For me at 5' 10" tall on stock seat almost totally cured the buffeting, which at first actually made my teeth vibrate or chatter @ 60+mph

As I said pretty happy with the KW other than the optics. I'm pretty sure that I should stay with a re-curve though.

Interesting.....I pulled out my OEM Stk W/S and measured it from the center of the center bolt, to the top of the w/s and it measures at 5.5".
Then I took off the 6.5" KW's and measured it center of the center bolt to top center of w/s and it measures at 8.25".
Could someone be so kind and let me know what your LRS's measure at these same points. ( LSR 9") and (LSR 8")
I'm going to throw on the Stocker with my other deflectors and see what it feels like to me.
