58156-08A harley adjustable.. more than the fixed by quite a bit.. i do adjust them accordingly.. helps to take away heat from the sides when hot out.. when i first put them on i never adjusted them.. worked fine, didn't know what i was missing until gf complained of heat.. was able to direct flow to the sides to help dissipate it. i also noticed it helped me as well. since then they are open a little unless it's below 50 or so.

if on a budget the fixed make a difference.

about a week ago I added the 8" LRS (i'm 6 feet), it helped some, then I added the adjustable HD fairing wind deflectors. the fairing deflectors helped more than the windshield. BTW...I ordered the 7 inch first but was too short and they don't do returns. The 8 is perfect for me. If anyone is wanting to buy the 7", let me know, save you some $$.

Fast Aire "Aero" in a dark 9 inch would about be perfect and will be my next windshield purchase. It is made of polycarbonate too.
Check it out..

Doesn't do returns? What? That doesn't compute.

Yup, they say right on the shield wrapping that once you remove the wrpping and install you can't return. I don't remember the exact words but I think it also said "STOP" read this before removing or something like that.

Thanks...bought my LRS so long ago I forgot. Now that you mention it I bet I did see something like that. I do remember them saying it was returnable though, so I guess they meant only if I kept the wrapping on.
