Default Windshield
Who runs what for a windshield? I'm 6 foot 1 and the stock one is too tall for me to look over, and I dont like looking through it...

10" dark smoke recurve Windvest. Best customer service and product in the industry IMO. Talk with Doug at Windvest and he'll get you on the right track. I'm 6'0" and just see over the top as per Doug's directions. BTW, I need to update by Sig photo!

Wife had a 7" smoked HD. I have an 8 1/2" KlockWerks that I lowered on my Limited.

It is really easy to lower the stock shield to get a custom fit for you. There are directions in the DIY section, or at least there used to be. If you can't find it let me know and I'll get you the info.

Thanks guys, I went to the local HD shop today, tried a few different ones out (love the demo program) and ended up with a 10" light smoke HD Windsplitter, I had my mind made up on the 7" dark tint version and ended up hating it in under a mile LOL

During the winter I use the Flat top recurve from LSR and in the summer the little shorty stealth recurve from LSR.

They both kick the wind up over the wife. She is 5' 8"

OK I'll ask the dumb question, what's wrong with looking thru the windshield?

There is nothing wrong with it. It is all a matter of preference. I especially like to be tucked down behind it when it is raining.
