Default New windshield on my Road King

I just purchased a new Windshield from Cee Bailey's that is 2" shorter than my stock Harley windshield. Only thing I can say is WOW!!! It really made a huge difference. The stock's top edge was always somewhat in my line of sight. This height is perfect and is a much more comfortable ride. I'm not streatching to see over or slouching to see through. If you have the same issue, don't hesitate. I wish Idid this lastyear.

BTW the Cee Bailey is thicker and higher quality than the stock harley. I also got it with a grey tint

I don't suppose you have a pic with your new windshield on do you?
How about a web site link?
I'd like to get a little shorter on also and from how you describe it, sounds like what I am looking for also.

Not a very good picture due to lighting. however the top edge of the windshield is 11.5" from the top of the horizontal metal brace.

Are the holes already drilled for the hardware?

Everything was pre-drilled. It literally took 10 minutes to change. Although my 15 yo daughter helped as I needed three arms. I had to line things up and hold the brackets, while she tightened the screws
