Default Road Glide Windshield

Just got a 2009 Road Glide and having fits with the windshield. The stock hit me mid-eye and cut the road in two. I cut is down 4 inches and now get blasted in the face at 60mph+. Anyone else experienced this or have ideas on replacement windshields and heights. Thanks.

Crearviews are nice and I have one. Also there is a guy that makes a windshield that stands up a little straighter than normal. This works pretty good and I use it on long trips. Check out Clarks Custom Windshields. Also, do a search...there are many threds on windshields for the RG.

The view through the windshield on my RG was so distorted it was unsafe. Got a replacement from Clearview -problem solved. Clearview windshields seem to lean back a little more than the stock, so you would probably be happy with the stock height.
