Default lrs windscreens piling up

Can't help myself with the 50% off sales lately. First screen was a 9 inch medium tint ultra for my 14 sgs, thought it was a bit tall so recently picked up a 7 inch, thought it was a bit short so just received my 8 inch today. Great windscreens and always seem to be on sale. Gonna sell one or two once I decide on the right size

Not trying to knock the product or company one bit, but how much was saved after the trial and error including shipping to the buyer(s) vs a Wind Splitter bought at a 20% discount online once it was demoed at a dealership? I completely understand not all of HD's products are great or that they will work for everyone, just a perspective maybe...?

I bought two. One at 8" and one at 9". One at 50% the other at 65% off. I just wanted one of each and the price was too good to pass up.

I too have begun a pile. just added a 7" Ultra to my 8" & 9" Ultra collection. No need for the 9" though. It's been used once and ready to sell it.

I don't know how common it is, but the dealership I bought my bike from sells LRS and they have demo shields. I didn't know until after I bought mine, and I am happy with the shield for sure, but it would have been nice to take one for a test ride first.

The hardest part in picking the shield is it just seems different sitting in the garage compared to riding around checking the height. I ended up buying multiple heights because they seemed fine until out on the road. LRS has awesome customer service and great products and always great sales!

LOL Yep. My third just arrived. Bought a 10" flat top for touring. Hoping it'll help in the rain. Had lots of rain so far this year...

I've got the LRS 7" and 9" for around town. Added the 11" Flat Top for the long rides with the wife. Love them all!

I've got 5 shields for my 14 FLHTK...

No wasted money. Each has a use and a purpose... except the stock shield, it's purpose is to go back on if and when I trade it in.

My others, I have a 4" SGS stock shield, great on hot days with my SHOEI GT-Air to get air flowing through the vents.

8" dark LRS Ultra Elite, my choice when not wearing a helmet

10" Dark Ultra, Great with the helmet when the temp is a bit cooler

10" Wide Dark, for when Momma rides with me, gives her zero buffeting.
