Default cee baileys windshield

I studied, searched, and ya said the LEE BAILEY shield is great on a Road Glide. What i failed to ask is, are you midgets?? DAMN the wind is Right in the eyes, knocking the glass's around worse then stock, I had a Clearview on and only bought the C bailey for the looks, Its going back monday,and I'm forced to go the option of 2 inches higher, HOPEFULLY that helps. I SO dislike being dissapointed with new stuff. RODE 35 miles and couldn't wait to get home and remove it, BTW im 5' 1o" normal frame.

I tried a 15" euro on my roadie with the same results. I have a 16" euro coming, should be here soon, hopefully it gets the wind out of my eyes! I'am 6'2" by the way.

No matter what size at times ya buy...it also depends on how what posture ya have while riding! Alot of us forget that at times.

It's a shorter than stock shield.... what did you expect?

I have the tall Euro and love it.

Yes, there is more wind. If I was worried about that, I'd drive my car or buy a goldwing.

TO much BASHING in here, ya act like GOLDWINGERS REALLY< LOL flame on gents.

I have the 15 " euro but have not put it on yet. The 16" wasn't available at the time i bought it. I have the 9.5" black on right now. It looks sweet with the brawler seat. I get alot of wind in my face though. I hope the 15" works out

I put my 15" euro on today and I'm happy with it. Had a KW's on before and looked good but had lots of wind noise, this CB is better on the noise part. Still get wind in the face but thats what a bike is for.
