I have a Stealth, 10" or 11" can't remember. I really like it and think it gives great protection, my passenger says she is still getting alot of wind. So now I put it on for short runs in the summer months and she is happy. But...for long trips I have a 14" extra wide Clark's windshield. Ugly as sin !, but Damn !, it protects us both from Birds, rain, bugs, cold, kicked up road debris, wind fatigue etc. I look through it with no problems of light deflection. It's like sitting in front of your bay window. I like a Big motor, Big seat, Big windshield, Big bags, Big tour-pak, etc. on Big trips now that I'm an old geezer.

Anybody using a LRS stealth windshield on a SG? Wanting to see how they perform.
Haven't used one personally, my riding buddy had a LRS Stealth and the LRS Ultra models, he never runs the Stealth anymore. I tried the HD Wind Splitter, then went to the 9" LRS Ultra, I love it. I'm thinking 8" would have been plenty and am thinking about the 8" Flat Top for riding with the little lady. Depends on what you are looking for in performance and looks, the Ultra of the driver is like a now wind situation, none of the buffeting.
Ride a lot in the rain. Wondering how it is in hard rain. Wondering how much water is going to come over the edges.
All of it!
We're all looking for the windshield to keep us dry, but even with the flip on the LRS Ultra the water finds its way. It does a great job of moving most of it up and over before it hits the shield, but once it hits the shield, just like all others, it beads and crawls to the top, hangs out for a second, then jumps at ya. The secret is to never drop below 70MPH in the rain.
