Yes. 3 types, but only 1 works well... Yours damn it! I don't know why 2 folks took to a keen look at your 10" flip? But I did see when the all the bikes where lined up from the dealership door my bike did stand out(shield shape?) I don't know. Maybe a Chicago thing?

8.5 Clearview Recurve -- good for all around use;

15.5 Clearview Recurve -- good for cross country travel with the wife.

12'' windsplitter for most of the time. 15'' windsplitter for when it gets cold. i had lrs shields on my batwing and liked them, and would probably have them on my rg except you didn't have them then.....

On my Heritage... no windshield unless a multi-day trip.

On my Ultra... On a multi-day trip I use a 9" Aero. I can see over it, but if I want to (for things like bugs, cold, etc.), I can duck behind it. Around town I use an 8" LRS.

I probably don't need two on the ultra, but I got'em as I was checkin them out and they're both good pieces of gear

I've got three, a 12" clear, 8" light tint recurve, and a 4" dark smoked. I ride with the tall one in the winter, the low smoked one in July and August. The rest of the year, the 8" recurve is usually on.

9 inch "classic" (slight recurve) that I bought from you, LRS that you do not make anymore.

It is a good thing that I bought 2 of them as I am still on my first one.
