Question Road Glide Ultra windshield angle

I noticed that the new RGU windshield has a steaper (more upright) angle than the previous Road Glides. Does anyone know if this is achieved by the windshield alone, or has the whole faring been redesigned/tilted?

The entire fairing is angled down 3 degrees for better handleing in the 11 Ultra. Also, the windshield is taller than the older models.

I have an 11 Road Glide Ultra. The stock windshield is very similar to the clearview I had on my 07. The angle is much steeper back than the stock windshield on my 07.

I really like this shield. It does a much better job than the 07 shield. My only wish is that it was thicker material since it does tend to vibrate in the wind. Otherwise, it's a keeper.
