I can never wait either, unfortunately I have a few things on order that are taking longer then expected.

Have you noticed any difference in the heat coming off the engine? Thanks.
On my M8 Streetglide... nothing significant. On my old Slim S... definitely.

I'm 6'1" and sit tall. I got roped into this forums LRS love on the first try. Klockwerk's 8.5" fixed it for me. No fangs or other crap either. I can run 80-90 with my ball cap backwards all day.

I went with the LRS Ultra Wide in 11" for my 2017.
I had the Ultra Elite on my 2013.
I have found that on my 2017 if I leave the fairing Wings closed when on the Hwy the buffeting is a lot less then when open, especially when riding 2up... seems to be a lot more buffeting when solo no matter what.

Same story here...5-10 and the KW 6.5 is all I need. Plus I can hear the music now!

Put them on yesterday, rode today and the difference is huge. Royal PITA to put on the RK because you have to move the fog lamps/turn signals to the forward position. But that aside, they completely eliminated the buffeting. I'm 5'8 ,stock seat, 17"recurved Clear Shield and it's ideal for me.
