Default roadglide windshield ?
just traded the electraglide for a 06 roadglide, requesting a review or two on windshields, the short one it came with isn't gonna cut it. need a little more wind deflection, w/o going to a full shield.
thanks
matt

From what I've seen if you find a used patio door window it is what some are using to keep the wind off.

Here is a picture of a Windvest 14 compared to a Clearview Medium. I like the windvest although there is slightly more buffeting with it. You can look at all my pictures here: http://s212.photobucket.com/albums/c...est/?start=all

10" dark-smoked from bikersdelight
I'm 6'3" and can easily see over the top.....wind is directed
up and over my head. Majority of buffeting is coming from
under faring and up the sides of the tank.
I wear contacts and a cheap pair of safety glasses.....no issues
with the wind for me.
