Default LRS on a RK

Anybody running a LRS on a Road King? Does the flip up actually help that much? What size shield do you have? I'm 6'2" any suggestions on the right height for me?

I'm 6'3" so I order the 21 inch with recurve. It works very well much better than stock (which it replaced). You will still have wind coming up from around the bottom of the tank so I might suggest the Harley Chrome fork mounted air deflectors. That solved the problems for me.

Truth be told I went ahead and bought a batwing fairing for mine but I will still ride with the windshield when it gets real hot here in Florida.

Hey subsailormarc, I had a 17" LRS on my King - it was a great shield, much better than stock.
Sold the scooter, so the shield is available. I have an ad in the classifieds.
