concur with where the wind comes from on the FLTR (all directions). I have lowers, and air baffle installed. very little wind now other than around the windshield now. did I mention how hot the ride can get in mid-summer with lowers?

Nothing is coming from under the flares in the windshield. I have an 09, and the air baffle came stock with the bike in 09. I noticed they dropped that piece off the 2010's.

I suspected it was because the cats would add heat, and the MOCO suggests to remove the air baffle in "warm" weather riding to aid in cooling.

I think the most turbulent air comes up from under the fairing, on either side of the tank.

If you decide to go with the Klock Werks shield, I have a 12" tinted that I'll sell for $85 plus shipping. I love how it looks, but I'm 6 feet tall and get a little too much wind on the highway to hear the radio cranking it up to the point of being obnoxious.

What tint is the shield that you have for sale?

I am 5'6" riding an '07 FLTR. Is this shield for the Road Glide or Street Glide?

If it is for Road Glide, I am very interested in buying it from you.

It is a Road Glide shield. It is a fairly dark gray/smoke color. I'll make a note to try and find a picture of the bike with the shield on it when I get home tonight.

I just bought the new hd windsplitter looks great but to short for me i'm 6'. I'ts 9'' over the gauges looks like it would be perfect for your height.

I just looked and your'e correct, no baffle. I was not sure what I was looking for so I compared to my bosses 09. i don't see the baffle in the catalog,is it a special piece like CVO parts that I need to go to the dealer for part #ers ? Thanks for your help.

Klock Werks makes an asserted effort to provide their dealers with demo sheilds in various sizes that their customers can try out before you purchase.
I would suggest asking your dealer if they offer this then try for yourself which size works best for you.
