Default Long ride shield

Got an 11 dark smoke for my road glide. Had a klockwerks on it. Just by pulling the lrs outta the box I could tell it was way sturdier than the klockwerks. My glasses used to rattle bad above 70. Now that's gone. No shaking at idle. I would guess the last guy liked the shield cause he was short and had a seat that moved forward 2 inches. Was gonna add wind deflector kit to the crashbars but gotta get some spacers and longer fuel tank bolts since my bike had the fuel tank bracket recall they don't fit. Was able to ride yesterday and I guess I don't need em but since I have em I'm gonna put it on.

Lrs quality is great. Got it on their pres day sale so it was super cheap. My buddy at work can't fathom how they make money selling these shields for so cheap. Ya there is some distortion but my shield is lower than most people my height. I won't be looking though it unless parking anyways. I don't care about wind I just don't like buffeting, I used to ride a night train with apes and no shield so wind don't bother me. I only got 20 miles yesterday and now it snowed another inch this morning so off to the depot to find some spacers.

yup, you usually have to adjust the seat, windscreen and controls for yourself when buying a used bike.
