Default Fat Bob windshield
Been thinking about getting a windshield for my 09 fat bob for the colder months... Anyone have experience that can give me some good or bad reviews of different shields?

I mounted a Road King Windsplitter using turn signal relocation brackets I also switched to a 7" headlight but ran this shield with the dual headlights also.

Ditto. Used a Heritage/Fat Boy/Slim headlight with the Road King windshield.

Default Windshield
how effective is it? Assuming you like it or wouldn’t have changed the headlight.

I had a Dougz fairing on mine with OEM headlights for about 6 years. Loved it and had no issues with comfortable riding up to 100mph(but mostly around 80...)

No buffet whatsoever. The vent relieves the low pressure area behind the shield, eliminating the turbulence. The top of the windsplitter is about 4" below my line of sight. I also have a traditional windshield that makes my head bobble. I just like the 7" headlight over the dual light better, but I ran this shield with the dual setup for a year. I also use "fangs" which help a lot too. I have a set of shortened ones that I use when I have my lowers installed.
