Default Replacement RK winsheild

I have an 2005 that I've 2" off the top of the windshield, Keep telling myself I want to go tented and 1 or 2 inches shorter. Worried about wind buffering & thinking the Clearview with adjustable vent might fix that problem?.

I've got a Klock Werks shield and its great. I've got the taller version, but the smaller might be what you are looking for...

I just put Clearview's light tinted shield,with the recurve,and 3 inch over stock width on the Road King. Sucker is hell for stout,.060" thicker than the Harley stock shield. The recurve raises the slipstream another couple of inches higher,so I can see over with ease,yet no blasting. Not a fan of vents,look like ****,but Clearview makes a high quality shield,full custom,yet decent in price.

I dug my LRS windshield when I had an RK, but the Clearview looks similar. All good, pick one and buy another if it doesnt work out. Wo0t!

if you don't like it now, what is it going to hurt if you cut down some more, it is easy enough to do, and if you end up hating it you are just back to point A..once you figure out the ideal height and you don't like it for some other reason you can just buy a curved one...I found that about 2 inches below (slumping on the seat) eye level works great for me with no buffeting and I can still duck down from the rain if need be...

Always 20% off for HDF users. See my sig.

We don't offer anything wider like CV has. It sure looks like our re-curve is much more pronounced than theirs too, but it could be the angle of that photo.

I'm always here if you have any questions or need any help.
