Default Questions about the Road Glide

I put about a 100 miles on my new Roadie and have a few questions. Do they make wider mirrors? I see more of my shoulders and very little directly behind me. I am 6'1" and have the stock windshield. I am getting alot of buffeting when I put on my 3/4 helmet. Not so bad with the half. It seems like I am looking about 3 inches over the top of the stock windshield. T.

On the mirrrors, HD makes an extension kit that raises the mirrors up a little to help with this.

I can see better now. They could have done a better job with the way they look. I like seeing so I will leave 'em.

1. Swap out the stock handlebars for fxdwg bars, which are more like mini-apes, yet they will work with your stock cables and brake line. For $40 you'll be more comfortable and the mirror problem will take care of itself since the new bars are wider.

2. Get a Clearview windshield. Send them your height + inseam measurments and they will send you the right height shield.

Problems solved.
