Default New Windshield on Road King

I just installed a Clearview on my 04 roadking. Man, I love that thing!
I got the 18 1/2" with the wider sides and the recurve. I couldn't be happier.
Only got to ride it about 2 miles and the rains came, but so far, so good.
Excellent product.

Everyone on the forum seems to really like the clearview.

Mako Shark...did you already have the frame with the quick disconnects, or was this a completely new installation? The reason I ask is I'm curious about the $$ and what part number did you order, Ipurchased a '04 RKC used and it did not come with the quick disconnect windshield.

Mine is a Road King Standard, so it came with a windshield. The PO had butchered it down to about 16" and it looked horrible, so thats why I went this way.
The recurve is supposed to move the air flow up around 2 inches or so, in theory, you can run a shorter windshield and have better air control.
I will post some pics asap.

PJ, what size is your Clearview? Is it wider than stock? Is that the light tint? How is it compared to the stock?

I think mine is the 17 inch tall model (about two inches shorter than stock). It's the light grey tint with recurve. It's about the same width as the stock windshield and about the same thickness. I really like it. I think the recurve helps with the helmet buffeting a little bit. It's a great alternative to the HD "mid-low" windshield.
