Default Road Glide Euro Shield A++

We went to OBX Bike Week and put 1100 miles on the bike with the new shield . No question this one stays. Rode day time and night. Had rain and wind and then beautiful weather at the Outer Banks. Anything up to 80mph on I-95.

I was thinking about that one. How tall are you? I am 6'3" and am a little concerned that it won't be tall enough. I want to keep it as short as possible(for looks) but offer optimal protection so I can hear my stereo better.

Nocages4me,

I'm 6'. I would go with a taller one at 6'3". I don't think that the dark grey comes taller than 15" but the light grey looks just as good IMHO and I've seen it at 16". I couldn't tell the difference until I put the bikes side by side. I did raise my head up several times to see where the wind would be uncomfortable and it was far above my seating position. For very tall riders the Clearview always gets great reviews. I've learned that comfort will win in the end...........but I'll still can't part with my 8" Klock Works though.

I'll have mine this Wed. Went to OB bike week also and had a blast. The weather was perfect this year. I was at Outer Banks HD on Sat and there must have been 1000 bikes there easily. A great weekend!

How often you set that left pipe on a curb when parking on the side of a street? Just curious as I see some setting on the curb from time to time that are not nearly that far out behind the bike.

Knock on wood I have never hit them yet. I am very careful when I back up also. I have had a lot of practice from turning it around in the garage.

Good to hear, but take extra caution as I have probably jinxed you.
