Probably have better luck over in the Geezer Glide section.
Sorry, couldn't help it.

 

ive got the king size 23", works great no buffeting...ive had small shield with the recurve and they didnt work. I dont have a picture of it on my bike but it doesnt do it any favors as you know. At first i didnt think i wanted to look through the shield, but it took me 5 minutes to get over that, I dont even realize it now. Until its full of bugs of course.

 

Ya ya I hear ya just want one for the buggy season here I don't like them either and don't want to wast my money on another crappy one

 

just got one for the fatty and it works preaty good....not for everyday use but for what it is, it works well....hd king size 18"...I do alot of night riding and don't like getting hit in the face with crap....

 

Buy an HD shield for the off times you need one. I use one for long trips or long hwy use.

 

I have the HD 21" king size on my LO I use it for the longer road trips. But with mild winter this year bugs are going to be crazy bad. I will more then likely be using it more this year. I do get some buffeting from below the shield but it's not bad enough to bounce my head around.

 

Since I put a windshield on my 82 FXRS in 83 I have used a windshield on the 4 subsequent bikes 90% of the time.....

 

It's off now more than it's on, but I've got a 30+ min ride to work with about 40deg temps and you can't do that without a shield. Also, extended highway rides would be too punishing without it. No buffeting - factory 18" removable.



Much handsomer without, heh.

 

We've got HD quick detach shields on all five bikes. Only bought one new - the 07 Fatboy and 08 Sporty had them when we bought the bikes and we found used on CL for both Dyna's. Saved tons of $$.

We have, however, cut down every one. My g/f is only 5'1" - when it rains she can't even stretch up to see over the stock height. I prefer not to look through a shield so I cut mine about 2" below my sight line.

Only bike that ever caused any buffeting is the 07 Street Bob. Fortunately HD designed that shield correctly - the clamps are located so that you can slide the shield up and down about 2" on the fork tubes. Once I found the right height to eliminate buffeting I leave it there.
