I own a 2017 RKS and I'm looking into buying a windscreen. Looking for opinions on the Memphis Shades Drop Top. If you have any thoughts post 'em. Any windscreen suggestions are appreciated.

 

You are going to hear a lot of shout outs for Long Ride Shields...

 

 

Not a fan of Memphis Shades I guess. Trying to find out if the Venturi effect of the drop top works.

 

Well, sure. But have you heard many complaints here about LRS? On the other hand, you probably wouldnt because people on this forum dont complain much

 

Freedom Shields, this one requires the cvo brackets

 

Be sure to check out Clearview Shields..... great people to do business with...... Prices are low, quality is through the roof AND their stuff works..... I had a recurve of theirs on my '09 King that was awesome..... I've probably had 6-7 shields from them now over the years....call them direct and ask about "blems" .... I bought one for my Limited that said it had "a minor surface imperfection" ...damn if I can find it and it was less than 60 bucks!!!! ....DW

 

Plenty of LRS experience here. Never had a problem. Well, other than their new RG shields are a bit high but they are suppose to be getting around to that this summer. As far as how often they run a sale, even their regular prices beats the competition.

 

I find questions like "what's the best exhaust" or "what's the best shield" generally yield a list of everything that exists. This thred will eventually bear that out.

 

I have a 17 RKS as well. I had to get the right bars on first before windshield. Cable fittings hit if the bars are too far forward. I am 6,2 and need a taller shield (19 inch at least. I went with Freedom Shield that required the CVO rackets because it has a cooler fairing look. Wind still hits me in mid forehead. I wear a full face so no biggie
