looking into shields for my RG, after about 20 miles i remember why stock didn't cut it. i ran a klock werks 8'' on my last RG and liked it.

wondering if there is another option i should look at this time? i don't want a tall shield. 8'' max and i want it black not tinted.

 

I really like my Windvest windshield. I know that you don't want to go over 8", but a short shield of any style will put a lot of wind in your face. I went with a 10" and it juuuusstt barely had some wind hitting my head. Switched out to 12" and I ride in my own little bubble.

 

I have the Klock Werks 8" Sports Flare on my RG. I love it. Worth every penny. Klock Werks knows windshields. You really can't go wrong with their stuff. If money is the obstacle, I would suggest not going cheap on something that makes the ride so much more comfortable.

 

I'm going to get a Madstad when I have the spare coin.

Head over here (http://www.roadglide.org/forumdisplay.php?f=23), theres a ton of obsessive discussion about Road Glide windshields happening there.

But from the looks of your bike, I'm guessing a Madstad is not anywhere in your future, lol

 

I like my KW windshield, cant beat the look and functionality...

 

i didnt really get wind w/ my 8'', i put a 10'' on my last one just to test but it hit the apes, so i def not going that route because i'll be installing apes soon.

i agree i have never ran any other brand. most likely will be going back with one.

LMAO ya def wont be going that route, they may the best on the market for all i know but i could never put that on my bike.

Damn, thats a nice seat on there lol.

looks like this thread reassured me that KW is the way to go.

 

Check out Freedom Shields...I put on a 11" for my 15 RGS this weekend and very happy with it...great quality...30% thicker than stock. John is great to deal with and can set you up and help you evaluate what you need. They were running a 10% discount for forum members when I bought mine.

 

Before jumping on a different shield, why the switch. If its buffeting, get a set of sanchos wings first.

 

no reason, i just need a shield for the new bike. was wondering if there was something new out that i should consider before going back to the KW.

 

I agree with Roadsterglide on the Freedom Shield. I did my research last year and put on the 10 inch. It's nicely finished, looks great and is strong - John Lauk makes them by hand and is great to deal with.
