Windshields ** recommendations **
Which aftermarket windshield works for you on your Ultra Glide??
First... I tried a search and the info is scattered and widespread, maybe a condensed thread will narrow it down.
The stock W/S is OK at best. I also have a HD 7" smoked that is good for getting me some air on the warm sunny days.
The problem with this is whenever I go for more than a day ride I have to change windshields in case of rain and at higher speeds I need the fuller protection from bugs and sand/rocks.
I would like a dark tint windshield that gives good protection, looks good and is not a huge barn door, so I'm not continously changing out shields.
What works for you ? I'm 5'11"

Hi zzzcici, I'd be glad to help you get sized up for one of ours if you're interested in trying one out. All of our shields have the flip-up at the top that pushes the air up and over you, allowing you to look over the shield and not through it. Give me a call if you like at 7753313789. We always take care of our HD Forum members as well.

Thanks for the replys. I did look at the LRS shields. With so many manufacturers it is difficult to know how a paticular shield performs just by looks. The LRS looks good.
Since (Fastultra) you are so happy with yours thats the kind of endorsement I was hoping for.
I want my cake and eat it too, I would like to hear the stereo, get good wind and rain protection, get a cool looking tint and a shape/style that compliments the bikes look. So form ,function and good looks, thats it.
longrideshields-1 you'll probbly be hearing from me soon...Thanks

I currently own the Klock Werks 6.5" & 8.5" shields.
I am 5'11" on a 2010 SG, and with the stock seat, the 8.5" is probably the one for me. No buffeting, some air, can tuck behind it and can see over it pretty well.
I bought the 6.5" first, and though it did cut down some, i still had buffeting problems on my glasses.
Now i am throwing on a Mustang Low Rider seat, which is supposed to drop me down a bit, so i am going to see if the 6.5" is high enough, and the 8.5 may be too high now.
