Your dealer is full of it. I was up at my dealer on Saturday and watched a tech pull a demo windshield off a bike that had just come back from a test ride and replace it with the windshield the guy bought because he liked it on the test ride.

Seems to work well but I am wondering if it will work better if I do a Tank Lift also.

Thanks for the tip
The re-curve will not help lift the wind a little - it will help A LOT! On my '14 Ultra, I went with a re-curve 1 or 2" shorter than stock. My stock windshield directed wind onto my helmet around the forehead area. My shorter LRS re-curve has the slipstream approximately 3-4" over my head. I'm confident you will not be disappointed. BTW, if I recall correctly, LRS has a "full satisfaction guarantee". Just make sure you keep the protective plastic on the shield until you decide whether you are keeping it or not. Remove the plastic - no return accepted. Good luck.

Yeah I agree. I spoke with the accessories guy that I know and he said to talk with the parts manager because he has some in the back. They did however take down the display that they had showing the demo seats and the windshields.

Thanks for the information and the tip about the protective plastic. I hope it is as you stated about how good it works. Will update once I receive it and test it.
Thanks once again
