RG or EG best windsheild.
If they are both stock windshield and fairing which bike keeps most off of you RG or EG? I have an 07 RG and like the looks and feel of the RG fairing much better but on demo rides i thought the RG had more turblance around me. What do you think?

I've owned two RoadGlides and one FLHTCUI. The RG is the bike for me. Turbulence is not a factor for me.....since the stock windshield height is about right, but I like the Clearview GT Medium much better. I also have a lower fairing which keeps the air going around and not up. Some tall riders complain about the turbulence......but it is manageable with modification.
I know lots of riders that change the windshield on the ElectraGlides to suit them.
Buy the model you like the best and work with it to suit you.

I did get the 07RG although I thought it had a lot of turblance. It is not bad and I donot like the EG faring . It seems to set to close to me. I ordered lowers for RG the came with no glove box. Sent them back. To get box is all most twice price of EG farings which come with boxs.

I picked up the lowers and glove boxes for my '05 RG on Ebay and had them freshly painted. Total for everything was $590 pieces, shipping, painting , etc. You can do better if your bike is black.
Lowers make a big difference re: turbulence. It's the air from above mixing with the air comming up around the tank that bangs your head. My vision would even blur at certain speeds before I got the lowers.
