The tall stock screen works great, until it rains. Then you can not see through the thing. I got a LRS on mine and love it. Great at blocking the wind, and still short enough to see over it.

I need to see over mine, but with the Road King the standard shield is too tall. I'm 5' 8" and used a 15" Cee Baileys until I bought a Memphis shades Bat Wing. Now I'm using an LRS 9" recurve made for the MS bat wing. works great, I can see over it and no buffeting.

Another plug for Freedom Shields. Awesome customer service, great product, plus the option to test the shield. Could not be happier with mine!!!
