Default Windshield question

I got a 12 inch non adjustable baggershield on my 2012 rgc. Stil get a litte more air than i like, but the hieght is right below my nose so i think the hieght is about right. Would a 12 inch windvest act like a little taller shield with the flip at the top like they have? O

Yes, flip top shields push the air higher. But you first have to figure out if the air is coming over the top or from down under. Ride at highway speeds and place your hand to block the air coming up and see how that feels. I saw a Road Glide at my dealer that had deflecters mounted to the side of the fairing. Not sure how that would help, but it looked like it would push the air more around the rider.

Hi Frozensoul...I know our shields could solve your issue. Give me a call and I'd love to chat about it. After 26 years in business we know how to create a much calmer, quieter ride...
