Default Windshield

Looking for a shorter windshield for my 2016 Ultra Glide Classic. Right now I have the stock one and it is to tall need something 5-6".

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Terry

Long Ride Shields.
Good pricing and good product. Had to shorten mine also, works well. I now look over the shield and do not have any buffeting.

I have a 6.5" Klock Werks on my '16 Limited. I'm 6'0" and no buffeting. But, I would add this question is one of those that may receive hundreds of opinions and you will have to decide for yourself.

Try this guy on Ebay. He makes them. Has clear, light smoke, dark smoke, and several different sizes. I bought a 10" light smoke one. I am very happy with the quality.

You can shorten yours, by careful use of a jig-saw! Just needs a little care and patience.
