Everyone is going to have the windshield that works for them. You might have to bite the bullet or if your local dealership has the 'DEMO' thang going on, you can try some out.

I didn't read all of it but did the OP tell us what year/model bike? 2014's are supposed to have solved this. I have the LRS (ultra I think it is) ordered according to my height and am very happy with it. Great price and customer service.

I have a '14 SG. Was not sure how tall the windshield should be so I got a piece of dark polycarbonate, traced out the shape of my stock windshield, drew it out two and a half inches taller. $19.00 material and 1 hour of my time and it works and looks great!!

It's subjective and this is the one thing I would not buy based on our opinions. I love my 6.5 KW shield, but my buddy test rode one at HD and was really upset with it. He didn't buy it. Another riding partner loves his stock and has no issue with it. So much depends on body type, how you sit--and what you sit on (any seat modifications). Go by HD and test them.

I just got my 12" LRS Ultra yesterday, to replace my stock 10". Hopefully it'll improve things. With the 10", the wind hit me right in my eyes and the buffeting made me dizzy over 60mph. I'll be sure to write a full review.

I have the all new redesigned Clearview recurve on order for my 14 Limited. Love the new shape. Once installed I will post how it performs along with photos.

Clearview windshield installed on my 2014 FLHTK. Posting quite a few photos; I really like it, to me it looks like it should have come with the bike day one. The angle slopes back following the angle of the fairing. I checked it against the stock windshield and it is within a 1/4" of the same height; the clearview being a touch higher. It is also a touch wider, as you can see in the photos the shield fits perfect, side to side. The recurve is gentle; while I still look over the shield, it will be easy to look through as well. This is the Medium size with smoke tint and recurve. Clearview is a supporter of this forum.

It is my understanding that Clearview spent a considerable about of time coming up with this shape. They even used a wind tunnel. This is not the same shape windshield they were selling in the past, it is my understanding they adapted the design to the Rushmore bikes first.

One complaint I have read is the time it takes from date of order to delivery. It took me a couple of weeks. I am very happy with everything about this shield, have not ridden the bike for any distance yet with the shield, once I do, I will report back. I was pretty happy with the stock shield so this should be a no brainer improvement, it sure is in the looks department IMHO.
