I switched out the OE windshield for a Klockwerks flare windshield. I'm kind of short, so I went with the 16" version, so I can see over it. I love it and it was a welcomed upgrade!

Another vote here for the Klock Werks Billboard Flare. I like the size of the shield and the clarity of the material.

Hi Gary...just give me a call...I can guide you through the installation...the whole process should only take about 20 minutes with the right advice. Look forward to hearing from you...

Another one here.

I wonder if any of the other windshield manufacturers actually spent any development time in a wind tunnel the way Klock Werks did. There used to be a video on their web site.

.......any "big difference" between KW's and LRS's besides price?

Wow I might add this to my wish list someday, but I love my RK shield and is of the reasons why I got it. But after riding 600 mile days on a Dyna with a sport shield I guess almost anything would feel better. haha

Hi Neckball...Clearview Shields has spent much time in wind tunnels as well...mostly in our early years to really understand the dynamics of wind with a motorcycle windshield and the various contours. Over 28 years in business, we continue to use those principles in our designs seeking the best possible wind performance for riders worldwide.

For you guys with the KW shield. I read a few reviews that due to the width or something that it comes real close/or hits the "banjo" bolt on the right side of the handlebar. Anyone have any info on that?
thanks
