I used a LRS windshield on my RK with a curved top lip, I don't like looking through a windshield and the replacement shield allowed me to look over the top easy. You have many options including cutting your stock shield down but they are cheap enough so I would just purchase a replacement.

 

What aboiut that vented windshield Harley installed on the CVO RK's?

 

LRS makes a very nice windscreen for the RK. I replaced my stock plexi with theirs & have been much happier. The recurve pushes the wind up a little higher, which is nice. Quality product.

 

How tall are you? I just changed my bars and that helped me sit upright and over the screen. I am 6' and I was just looking over it with the stock bars. Good luck.

 

Windshields are amazingly easy to cut down to the desired height. Just mask it off, and cut it with a cheap Home Depot jigsaw. Sand the edges smooth and your ready to ride. There are plenty of threads on this forum of people doing just that. Or just buy one.

 

Bridge of the nose is a little high. I'd say moustache high. The top of the screen should between your upper lip and the bottom of your nose.

 

I came from a bmr rt that had adjustable windscreen to the road king. I had the same problem. My decision was to cut the original screen because if I messed it up I was not out any money. I would simply be buying a screen anyway.

I sat on the bike with decent posture and kept moving a piece of tape on the screen until it was just below line of sight. I could see down toward the road. After I had the line of sight I took a ride on a lonely road and duplicated the height to make sure the wind was ok. It was good.

To cut, I used a piece of poster board taped to the windscreen and marked a line on the poster board that mimicked the radii of the original. Next I measured down from the top to the tape line, cut the radii on the poster board and moved it down the windscreen the same amount.

Next generously tape both sides of the cut line including enough tape to handle the area that the saber saw will travel on. Transfer the cut line with a marker to the tape and remove the poster board.

Next, using a smooth cut blade on a saber saw cut along the line until through. Make sure the cut end is supported by a person or tape so it does not bounce around.

Last, with the tape still on, use some long thin pieces of sand paper starting at around 400 or so and finishing with 1000 grit. Move the sandpaper like shining the front of a shoe back and forth along the cut until saw marks are gone and fairly smooth. The shoe shine method can be used to put some of the curved edge back in.

Pull the tape off, take a rag and lightly, just enough to soak the rag with mineral spirits but not drip. Lightly buff the area sanded to finish the cut line off. Be very light with this step as the mineral spirits can be aggressive Make sure it does not touch any area but the cut line.

One note, you may need to adjust the outer edges for the cut line to match a smooth radii as it is moving down the windscreen and may need some adjusting for smooth transition.

 

I had the same problem with my '11 RK. I ended up with the 16" HD quick detach shield. It was perfect. I used the stock during the cold winter months only.

 

I am 6'2" so I look over the windscreen all the time. (Over the top, I see the ground out about 10 to 15 feet in front of the bike)

It is perfect that way ... wind hits just at the top of my helmet, and there is no buffeting.

I highly recommend this setup, so I recommend you get (or make) a reduced height windscreen configuration, and enjoy this near ideal setup!

 

Another LRS fan. I have a 17" in dark tint and it is perfect. Looking 'through' the stock shield bothered me, especially in twisty turns as my vision always felt blurred. Now running a Memphis Shades fairing with an LRS shield.
