Default Windshield Recommendation
Purchasing a 16 Road King tomorrow with stock windshield. My last 07 Road King the stock windshield sucked. Any recommendations for aftermarket windshield that helps with buffeting? Thanks in advance.

my 2015 and 2017 RK stock windscreen worked well enough and I'm 6'3", but what really made a difference helping stabilize things up front was these

it was the first thing I swapped over from my 15 to my 17, wouldn't ever want ride one without them

Thanks for the info. I'm going to order them. I'm vertically challenged, 5'8". I'll spend some time with stock windshield. Definitely a different seating position than my 07 was.

Look into windshields with the re-curve at the top. Many companies make them; LRS, Klockworks, Freedom Shields, to name a few.

For my '17 RK, I went with Freedom Shields with the re-curve and I installed the fork mount wind deflectors. I'm also 5'8" and I now get very little buffeting.

Good advice. I had klockwerks on both road glides and they worked well. I'm going to check out your recommendation.
