Road King Windshield

Installed a new Lt Smoked +2" windshield today, ride was great less wind buffering around my head and shoulders. But I cannot get over how ugly the windshields looks!

It doesn't look ugly, that's how they all look from the side, don't over think it.

I feel your pain, its great how it blocks the wind on the highway but I sure hate the look. Mine is always off if I'm cruising in the city.

I love the look. I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on this one myself. My only concern is how does it effect your vision during night riding since you're essentialy looking through a shade.

Have you done any night riding? Problems?

I don't think they're all that ugly, just can't get used to the buffeting with them. Has anyone tried the Long Ride Shield? Does that flair on top help reduce buffeting like they claim?

I went from the stock W/S to the 19" Memphis Shades version.... nice, but not what I liked.
This past Spring, I went with the LRS 18" re-curve and love it!! I'm getting a little bit of wind
(which I prefer) and am looking "over" the W/S the whole time! Love the looks and the ride!
