LRS (Long Ride Shield) "Light Tint" Modified Dyna "B" Shield
Got the new LRS Windshield installed and it works very well, MUCH better than the stock windshield for sure! This is a follow up thread from this thread: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softa...ll-batman.html
I still get a little buffeting at higher speeds (70 mph +) but its still not so bad that I couldn't ride with it (like the stock shield). It's not a violent shake but a little bit. Its still more comfortable than having the wind blast you in the chest for extended times at those speeds. Below 60 mph, there is none really at all and between 60 - 70 is when I start to feel it. Like I said, it still isn't that bad overall.
Also, found out that the LRS Dyna "B" shield did not work. I contacted James and he made some changes and now it works with my mounting hardware. The problem was the bottom part of the bracket that holds the clamp was hitting the bottom part of the shield so I couldn't attach the bottom. I am using the Harley Compact Windshield Hardware... HD Part # 57199-05
I was a little concerned about the space above the headlight being too much but I don't think it affected my ride at all. I am still thinking of maybe adding some spacers to try and get rid of the buffeting all together for the higher speeds (although I am not sure if it will work for sure)... can only try it and see.
Crappy day for pics today but here are a few so you guys can see what it looks like. I went with the "light tint" but as you can see, it is darker than the "light tint" for the Harley shield. I still don't think it looks bad though.

Thanks! Yea, for a shield its not too shabby. Lol I won't be running with it all the time, just on longer trips or if I ride and its below 50 degrees.

hmmm the more I'm looking at it - I'm liking it a bit more If I could get the metal areas powdered... that would look pretty sweet on my bike

Yes, its a quick release. Its Harley Part # 57199-99 hardware with a LRS (Long Ride Shield) Recurve Shield.
Yea, you can actually buy those parts already black, Harley offers them. You might be able to find a used one, that's what I did. I got mine off ebay for $200. And then the LRS shield is about $100. The LRS Shield for you bike would be different than mine, yours would be the Heritage "B" shield. There is a user here (jam436) that has this shield on his Slim with black hardware, looks great! https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softa...ve-review.html

It just depends on how far forward they are. Mine are forward also and I still have plenty of room to even move them an 1" or so more if I wanted. My bars are still just like they are in my SIG.
