Talking >>>16" Clear Long Ride Shield<<<

Switched from a 18" HD shield to a 16" LRS shield

I added a HD 18" lightly smoked Windshield…58278-95
to the list along with other goodies when I purchased my
2014 FLS.

I'm 5-11 with a 30" inseam sitting on Mustang Solo Seat,
bike upright, feet flat on the ground, knees slightly bent.

Just for demonstration purposes…
Holding my camera at eye level, nose level and chin level.
Samples:

With the 18" (not shown) HD shield the top of the shield
was right at eye level, not good for me.

The LRS 16" height, perfect, looking over the top. Love it.

Your situation and solution mirror mine exactly.
The 18"er was right in my line of sight, but the LRS 16" is perfect.

..and check out this cleaning product, Meguiar's PlastX - good stuff...


And for anyone thinking of a LRS shield, now's a good time - they're running another 50% off sale... (Order Code: LRSDUST)
