Hot damn that’s tall. I bet your buffering problems will be gone.

I would still suggest the fangs. They might actually not look bad! The H-D ones come with a shield logo on them. You could paint it blue to match your bike.

At this point, I am very happy with the airflow from the bottom.
Yes they are hinged so fully adjustable..

Wow..that’s a HUGE Bi**…. LOL.
BigBlue…if I missed it, I’m sorry…but how tall are you? Are you looking over that shield or through it?
I’ve got a 9” Freedom on mine, the ash tray….that’s it. But I also have lowers.
I don’t get the buffeting like many do and I spend a lot (too much…) time at 85 on the super slab, but I only wear a half helmet unless it’s cold or raining.

The wind deflector on my 19 RK raises temperature at my location quite a bit. My next move would be smaller windshield.
