Default Windshield choices

Ive read about all these LRS, Freedom Cee bailys, ect, But is there really that much difference in one above the others, had a Cee baily on old bike, seemed fine, better then the windsplitter I tried anyways, ,Help me make up my mind, was just gonna go with the Cee Bailys like before, but now am I missing something ?

Everyone here is going to recommend the kind they have. The individual websites show the differences in design.

I've heard nothing but good things regarding the Cee Bailey windshields. That said, I bought a Clearview with the recurve and couldn't be happier. I like it so much that I'm buying the same shield in a smaller size for the hotter weather.

One is probably as good as the other but I've only tried LRS. And when compairing prices I'll stick to LRS, they work great and priced fair!

Klockwerks an option?
If not, ascetically I like Cee Baileys with more of a squared look, others are to half moon shaped for my liking....HD has a new 10" sport shield with a
re curve for the Rushmore fairing, looks very similar to a Cee Baileys

I have had 3 on different bikes, I had a Klockwerks, a Windsplitter and LRS.
For me the Windsplitter was not great, they other 2 both have great points and options, but for my money I have had 3 LRS's and they have been fantastic

I have the Clearview with recurve and really like it. Check out their web site for design details. I am on my smart phone, that is why no link.

Running a 12" F4 right now. Only about 350 miles on it, but so far, I'm pretty pleased. Seems to be a little wider at the top - not as much of a radius profile as the stock HD shields. Mine is a straight shield, with no recurve. Time will tell.
