I like the top one. You own/made it? How does it work?

Yeah. Made it from a regular shield. Just nip and tuck.

works great. I run it from time to time when I want something different.

I replaced the billboard windshield on the RK with a Windsplitter windshield from a 2013-2014 or 2014-2015 CVO RK. It's narrower, shorter, nice curved shape, dark tint and has an adjustable air vent. They pop up on ebay in the 175-200 dollar range. I got mine for 175 and don't think it had much if any use, looked brand new. The curved shape blows the air up and over you and looks so much better.

Default 11" Windshield

I have an 11" HD Smoked shield I'm willing to let go of. Shield only, no hardware, you would need to use your existing hardware.

PM me if your interested.

There's all kinds of them on ebay. Some cheap, some not. Just search for road king windshields.

heres what I went with, and a black frame from Amazon. Didn't like the quality of the bolts that came with the frame so I bought stainless.
less heat and no buffeting. Wife likes the added wind.

Heres the update. Chose the Amazon small tinted windshield and Amazon black frame. As the direction suggest 2 people are a must. The windshield is flat. I went and bought stainless hardware, but I think it may be stainless metric.
Much better air flow on hot days and no buffeting. I wish it was darker.
