I will do some searching. Also just found out that my local dealership is actually hosting a windshield/seat demo workshop this weekend. May have to go check it out.
The price is right, why not? But they should do demos anytime. I'm wondering if the workshop isn't more to explain how to pick and install the 2.

Long ride Shields here as well. Went through 4 windshields to figure out they were the best.

i've been real happy with the 9" medium tint LRS recurve on my Ultra Classic. The optics are very good, it fits good, looks great and the price was reasonable.

Also consider a WIDE windshield for even less buffeting. I bought one like this and it's awesome. $40 on eBay.

I have found that the Fastaire windshields have been the best shield for most purposes. The Aero recurve in 10" in light grey would not only look good, since it is similar in shape to the original shield, but it has the flip on the top so the wind blows over you instead of into you. Also its polycarbonate which is much stronger than the lexan.

I picked up a 9" Ultra-elite from Long Ride Shields about a month ago and love it. Light tint is perfect, and its amazing how I can look over the shield but dont feel any buffeting from the wind.
