Default 2016 Road Glide windshield options

I've got to get rid of this stock windshield, too much wind in my face. I can barely hear the radio. looking at the windvest and the long ride shield. I'm not going to break the bank with the long ride shield and the windvest is about $80+ higher. is one of these two truly better than the other one? suggestions and comments needed to help me decide.

I've been using shields from Freedom Shield exclusively for the last 2 years and I'm sold on the brand.

Just installed the 15" Stingray last night. Been too cold to try it out.

12" harley wind splitter for me, works great. I'm 6ft and I absolutely agree the stock "no shield" on the special sucks.

Klockwerks 14" screen works perfect for my Glide. Looks pretty damn good too

12" windvest. It works but I've never installed another brand. 6'1" here, 34 inseam. I'd say at 6-5 you'd need a 14 unless you have really long legs.

Get a Madstad. Nothing works as well, and it's adjustable. Want more air? Lower the shield. Get caught win the rain? Raise that sucker up.
