The beard lift was still pretty bad though so I added the HD fork fangs and they have almost completely eliminated the beard lift. I am now sitting in a nice calm pocket of air

I have this same setup with the same result.

The oem shield is of excellent quality, and comparably priced. It's available in stock height, as well taller and shorter.

Rifle and a few others make windshields wider than stock. I've no personal experience with them, so I cannot say how the wind flow is from that extra width.

Freedom Shield is the best I have used and tried a bunch over the years. I have the 18" in dark tint and at 5'8" I can still see over the shield. It is thicker than others and has the air flip, also is a couple inches wider than stock shield.

Had a 07 Road King, I went with LRS 18 inch windshield and put on fork mounted wind deflectors.
That made my RK more comfortable to ride, and cut down on most of the buffeting. You
can contact LRS for the proper height.

The billboard flare will give you best coverage of any windshield and is proven to give downforce at speed. I believe they come in two heights.

You cannot go wrong with LRS I got the light tint. It help tremendously with wind buffeting.

Any windshield with a recurve that is the right height will do. The fork mounted deflectors are a great addition,and probably what you need.I only use them for longer rides.
