I went with the shorter smoked hd on my rk. i like it a lot better being able to see over it and especially when cornering. as far as my wife is concerned i didn't tell her and she doesn't seem to notice the difference

I have the standard, the short one and the tall one. Less wind with the taller one.

There is a place on ebay that sells the Thunder Shield. Sin State Cycles, or something to that effect. At any rate, they have a low pro smoked shield for a RK. I have one, and it looks great. My point being, they aren't but about 45 bucks. A lot cheaper than the HD one. Might be worth a shot just to try it and see. Wouldn't be a huge investment. Just my .02
