Default road king windshield help

Hey guys. Just finished putting my 14 wild ones on and the bikes coming along nice. Took it for a ride the other day and its still a little chilly here in CT for a ride but the windshield helps alot. Call me crazy but is there a way or a windshield out there thats much "better" looking or sleek? My bike looks TERRIBLE with it on but its so comfortable with the wind not ripping in your face. I know beggers cant be choosers but can you guys send some pics of your setups or any ideas??

thanks

Have a look at the Clearview windshields . I have used them on all my bikes . I wasn't a fan of the stock shield on my King when I bought it , so I went with a shorter , tinted one . They offer the standard width or wider . You can also add a recurve or vent if you want . These shields are a tad bit thicker and the quality is excellent . You may have to wait a couple of weeks for it , but it's well worth it .

Here is mine , it's 14.5" standard width with the light grey tint . The top of the windshield is just below my line of site . Also , if you don't have the lower wind deflectors I highly recommend them , they do a really good job of deflecting wind from coming up around your tank and causing buffeting .

I saw some pix of a brand called “windjammer “ or something” ? They had only smaller brackets and no bar, you could hardly see it, not sure how effective it was though.

Thats the one, sorry about the double post, fat thumbs, had to clear my caches and close out apps on the ipad, seems better now. That shield looks real clean on the bike when mounted, maybe smaller though, I wonder how they perform?

It’s curved and works as well as the taller stock shield.
