The real bang for the sundowner is the passenger comfort.

I am 5"6 and have the winsplitter. I have a saddlemen pro tour slammed seat. I find the shield better than stock but it needs to be about an inch taller. I still get a bit of buffeting but if I duck my head about an inch it's great.

Looking forward to see what the new lrs stealth shield will be like and how much it costs...klockwerks is a little too expensive especially after dropping coin on the windsplitter.

I love it! Pretty much fixed the buffeting issue for me. Including at about 70 on the highway. I still get a little bit of air, but it is a MAJOR improvement over stock. No more bouncy vision.

I'm 5'9, 30 inch inseam if that helps anyone looking for a new windshield.
Will a 2 pouch bag fit with the Splitter?

The two pouch bag certainly fits with the HD windssplitter.
I have tried this combination on my 2011 103 Street Glide.
