Long Ride Shields has a new universal sheild that fits Rockers. The curve really works and the hardware is really nice. The dark tinted version is sweet.

When I got my '08 Rocker a couple of years ago I wanted a windshield. Got the H-D one and was very disappointed at the low height. Went on the web and finally got to CeeBaileys.com. They worked with me and I got a custom sized shield that did what I wanted--no wind in the face with no helmet face shield. The only problem was with wind coming up from below. Solved that problem with some lowers from Memphis Shades. Had to work to get them on my larger forks, but did it. Then went out and did a flow test. It all worked good up until about 105-108 MPH. Then the wind started swirling around the SIDE of the windshield and into my face, so I flipped the face shield down. My reason for a windshield on my Rocker is comfort and not feeling like I got beat up after a ride. I use my Rocker as a tourer and it's more comfy than my Electroglide after 300 miles. Check out my 'shield at http://www.ceebaileys.com/harley/har...r_2008_ws.html
Those are my photos of my bike on the website. They say that the shield is 23", but it's a 21" one from an earlier test fit. I'm 5' 10" and I look over the shield 1" for normal riding and can tuck below it from time to time as necessary. I finally settled on a 24" tall shield with a recurve on top. It works great. No face shield and no wind in my face.
Can't post more photos 'cause the bike is in the shop after a crash. It'll be well soon (me, too, I hope, after 3 broken ribs, collar bone and shoulder blade heal) and then I can show pics of the 106" S & S motor upsize with blue powdercoated jugs and heads. Bags are almost finished, too. It's my Rocker bagger and is built for comfort AND speed.
PS. Wearing a helmet is a good idea when you crash! Broke my helmet, saved my head.

Rocker Windshield
I bought a windshield for my Rocker for Xmas!
Like some of you already mentioned, the Rocker does not look good with a windshield. However, the Harley original windshield (part #57251-08) doesn't look all that bad.
Following my trip last summer from Montreal to Milwaukee & back, I know that it will make a difference. I guess if you are like me & ride most of the time on highways, its a plus to have some type of protection. Next summer I am off to Sturgis, another +-5,000 mile trip!
Lets not forget, its removable so if I decide to ride in town, I just got to remove it!
