Default 16 Road Glide Windshield
Hey brothers and Sisters, anyone tested a good Windshield for Road Glide, the one that came on it is like not having one.. so I bought a knock Werks 15" pro touring flare and it's so so at low speeds, and sucks at high speeds..

I used a Long Ride Shields (LRS). I think it was a "Thresher". Wider than stock at the
botton and flipped at the top. Worked well for wind control.

I like my Freedom Shield. No distortion, thicker than stock, multi tints to choose from, & you can use Rain X on it. Plus you can test ride it and if not happy, return it.

LRS 17" on my RGU. I sit higher then most with a PB seat. Love it. If you try it with the plastic still on it they'll let you return just for shipping fee. Great product. Run them on both bikes

LRS 17" medium tint for me - I love it!!

Haven't been 2-up on it yet, so passenger review still pending.

I'm 6' 1" with stock seat (until I get my Mustang mounted), and it is the perfect hight, looks cool, and the recurve thing really does work - and... it was like $80 or something like that.

I have a 12" Pro-Tour and a 14" LRS Thresher. The Thresher is my winter shield and does block a lot of wind.
