Default Just got my 18 Road Glide

18 in Gunship. Nice bike.


Factory 47 12" bars, Jackpot Headpipe, High Roller mufflers, Wood 22X cam, Power Vision, C and C seat on order.


Bike is strong, but I literally cant hear it. I really need to get my exhaust etc in.


What windshield are you guys using? I cant hear **** from the stereo at 75 mph. I mean I cant hear anything. I'm pretty disappointed about it. I don't want a huge windshield, something nice and sleek that goes with the bike. Any suggestions or pics of what you used?

for me, I need to hear my bike.

Turns out if you open open up those vents in the fairing, man it sure does help with the wind noise! I’m still gonna get a klock works 6”.

First I put the HD windsplitter on but wasn't happy. I just put the LRS 11" Thresher and am very happy. I see over it and I think it looks good too.
