Default Roadglide Windshield

I'm curious what windshields others have gone with. Here in Vegas, we don't get much rain, but when it does, its very irritating, to say the least. I still have the stock windshield on my 16 Roadglide, and when it rains, the water comes off the top of the windshield and hits me in the face. So even when its just a light rain, or even a drizzle, I'm constantly getting hit in the face with water. What should I go with to avoid that? A shorter or a taller windshield? I'm 6'0" and sit kinda slouched, if that matters.

Same height roughly 6-01". I use a 14" smoked Windvest and also slouch a bit too. I have a long torso and 32" inseam. Check out the Freedom screens also. I am going to try one of these next but really like my Windvest ....no complaints.

I have the KW flare. 14" I'm 5'10"ish and slouch. Works perfect for me. Been caught in more rain than I'd like to.

I've been very happy with my windscreen from Freedom Shields. Good quality and no distortion. Call John, he'll advise you on proper height, style & tint.

I went with a dark smoke 11" Madstad shield. I'm 6'2" and sit a little slouched, but also have a solo seat that sits me down and back about two inches. Very happy with the performance, quality, and appearance.

I have the Klockwerks 12" Sport Shield on mine. I'm 5'9 with a 30-inch inseam. It's perfect for me.

There are several factors to consider, torso length, seat and how high or low you sit on it.

I am 6' also with a long torso, and run an ultra seat. The Klock Werks 15" touring shield works great for me. Also in the rain, I close all 3 vents.

I'm running a 14' Klockwerks Sportflare on my 15RGS. Works great and flows good with the bike IMO
