Default Wider windshield for Road King Classic.
I am looking at getting a wider windshield for my 02 RKC. I am looking at either Long Ride Shields or Klock Werks Billboard shield. I know that the LRS has a few different heights, but I am more concerned right now with width.

Thanks for the help.

I have a Klock Werks Billboard Flare on my Road King and love it.

It is wider and controls the wind flow better than the straight sided shields that I have tried.

One difference in the Klock Werks vs the LRS is that the KW is Polycarbonite while the LRS is Acrylic.

Poly is much tougher than Acrylic but cost somewhat more. Acrylic will crack much easier. Your factory HD windshield is also made from Poly.

Thanks for the reply. Do you know how much wider the KW shield is?

I bought a larger and wider shield from Clearview at a very reasonable price.

Cee Bailey's offers windshields that are 2" wider than stock plus height variations.
