Road Glide windshield
Any recommendations on replacing the stock windshield on my 2011 FLTRU with something with a contour and tint? Are any of the after market Windshields distortion proof when you look thru them? I was surprised to see that Windvest says their products are not made to look thru--more of a wind break and protection than a 'window'. I appreciate your thoughts. Pat

Mastads are hands down the ugliest damn windshield you can put on a Road Glide. I hear they work but why would you want a big turd on the front of your beautiful bike?
Check out Windvest. They are really great windshields and the customer service you get from them is second to none.

there are several aftermarket ws that work too, but you can try out the windsplitter at your hd dealer.

I've got a 2011 FLTRU. It came with a Windvest which turned out to be too short. I bought the tallest Windvest, which was supposed to be better.
It's tinted. It looks great.
But I'm still looking for a windshield that works like I thought the Windvest was supposed to.
I'm gonna check out the Madstad. Thanks, guys.

The shape of the 13 inch Road Glide Madstad looks far better than other Madstad's. My bike is Smokey Gold, and the bronze tinted MS looks fantastic.
The Windvest is a good windsheild, and the service is fantastic, but until you eliminate that turbulance behind the windshield, you will not be happy. I have a Windvest and 2 Harley Shields.
When you want that shorty look, (trailer queen), you can simply remove the the top panel.

I'm 5'11" and the 13" works for me. Just takes a little ajusting until you get it right for you. Now that I have it I would not have anything else. IMHO it looks great to.
