Default KW windshield review as promised

Bought and installed the 12" KW shield on my '02 Road Glide and proceeded on a 5000 mile trip...............Stopped in Denver after 1200 miles or so and mailed the KW home after buying a stock one. I won't be doing trips with the KW as the wind noise makes long (700+ mile) days difficult. The bike handles great and it is by far the coolest windshield I have seen but only for town and short trips IMHO. Kinda makes me hope for one a little taller or with a bigger flip.

That many miles, I'd be&nbsp\\;using ear plugs.&nbsp\\;
