Regarding unfinished edges, my first replacement windshield on a Street Glide was a 7 smoke direct for HD thats just 2 taller than stock, and it was the same way. Edge was not finished worth a flip. Id have run it if it worked for me, but that lack of finish gave me a slight case of gas for the price.
Same with my RG, I walked over to the demo windshields and couldn't believe how silly they looked (personal preference, obviously). The aftermarket has really blown HD out of the water in almost every regard.

I just ordered the LRS mega curve 9. Im on an 09 Electra glide ultra classic. With stock height seat. And 61.
I will have a 9-10 klockwerks flare for sale. Lol. It gives me serious wind buffeting right at my head

I've been looking for an 8" F4 Customs in light tint for my '21 SG but they seem to be sold out or no longer manufactured. I may give the Freedom Shields a try based on the comments from this thread.

I can ride my bike at 100mph with that windshield (plus fangs) and its smooth sailing.

Klock has a demo program and most of the HD dealers stock the Flare .... I tried a few and am really happy with the 6.5 inch
.It won't cost you anything to give a free demo windshield a test ride before you commit
Reduced wind noise for me and my passenger said she's getting less wind in her face too...

I got a Windvest years ago. It's 2" shorter than my stock one, yes I look over it, BUT the recurve at the top does a GREAT job including diverting rain !! They come in all kinds of heights and tint levels.
