Default Heritage with Long Ride Shield

A couple of you have asked for pics of my new LRS windshield. It is the 16 inch light tint model. The last pic was taken at eye level sitting on the bike. I am 5'10" with a 32 inch inseam.

Thanks Rick! I still have to down size my pictures that I post!

I should have tried the stock shield first just to see how it worked. The trouble was that I was looking through the old shield instead of over it. Put the LRS on before I even rode the bike. I do like it though; quite a bit of buffeting but not sure it is from the shield. It is slightly narrower than stock. I will probably look into some lowers ("fangs" are some people call them LOL). Not really a fan of how they look so I will try to do without them for a while.

I spent many hours with many beers deciding on fangs or not.... $100 gone, buffeting gone. And they don't look that bad on our heritagesHeritage with Long Ride Shield-photo162.jpg

I had these on my Heritage that I got from J & P Cycles and I thought they looked pretty good. They definately cut down the buffeting.


But they started to rust so I took them off.

What are your thoughts on lowers cutting down cooling flow to the engine?

I would think that the engine would still get sufficient air flow. Using the FP3 the temps could be monitored with and without for comparison.

Edit: I was thinking fangs not lowers.

I would think they block a little air. I ran em all year
once. Oil temp slightly higher (5-10 deg) on a hot day.
I only run them in the colder weather now.
And they do make a noticeable difference. On a hot day
though, I don't mind the blast from underneath.
Gets old after 100 mi or so though.
