BTW your front fender looks awesome and I agree with you about the stock airbox. I kept mine on as well and did a homemade crankcase breather mod and installed a K&N big filter.

I picked up a cheap windshield from eBay just for the black powercoated frame, which I think will look better on my RKS. Now I'll find a windshield. I've just looked at the Laminar Lip as someone mentioned on this thread. Looks like a good windshield, lots of good reviews.

If you go for the Lip just remember they only make them to fit bikes that come with a factory windshield like the Roadking. Also the Lip isn't really a shield it's true purpose is to create a gap between the existing shield to channel the wind up and over your torso and head. I guess it's a vortex effect or something along those lines.

Yeah, I didn't realize that about the lip until I started poking around their website. I thought it was a whole new windshield, but learn it wasn't. As you pointed out it is just an add on piece. I guess I'll keep looking. The cheap windshield I got off of eBay is just too tall and I'm looking through the windshield which I don't like. So I can either trying cutting it down, like MotorMan Jerry P, had shown on his YouTube channel or just pick up a replacement windshield in a lower height.

I have same & you are SO right! Worth every penny! I chose gold for the rear myself! You need to look at getting the MULLER hydro clutch. Cuts the lever tension in half. Also night & day. I love mine!!
