Is this a 14" Windsplitter Dark Smoked?

not my bike, but to answer the question, no, it isn't.  the windsplitter comes in 9'', 12'' smoked (which is a dark tint), and 15'' smoked, which in this case is really an almost clear tint.

Cee Baily 12" to preserve as much of the stock look as possible and I appreciate maximum unhindered vision...more discussion and pics here:

Just ordered the LRS Mako 14 inch will be here Monday I'm 6 foot 34 inseam and have been running a 16 inch Clearview for 2 years gonna post my feelings on it once its on..

So I installed the Mako and have a couple of observations so far 1st from all the posts on this shield I was expecting a thick solid shield this is a lot thinner than the Clearview it is replacing hoping thats not going to be an issue 2nd has no black painted portion on bottom of shield to cover ugly trim strip behind the radio and between the fairing halves 3rd Slotted mounting holes are not able to be covered by the nylon washers so slot is visible on both sides of the mounting screws .
none of these are major issues and are not going to stop me from running this shield it looks good on the bike havnt taken a test ride yet maybe later today
Ordered and received this within 4 days cannot ask for a better delivery service great job LRS
P.S  the LRS  is 2 1/2 inches shorter than the Clearview but only sits about1 inch lower because of the steeper angle
pics to follow

I know this thread is a couple weeks old but I just joined the forum so I'll throw out my opinion.  I always go for function over looks.  I'm moving the Madstad from my old RGC to my new CVO.  I had to order a new mounting plate which should arrive today or tomorrow.   The Madstad is ugly as sin but it's the best shield I've ever used.

I ended up ordering the C Glide in 13 inch dark smoke. I am willing to sacrifice a bit of comfort to have a windshield that is not horrible looking. Clearly the stock shield or something similar is going to look the best on this bike, but I think this will look decent and still get me enough protection to improve my comfort.

Well, after going through several shields, I decided to give Freedom Shields a try from a suggestion by Inferno1776. Glad I did. Ordered a 12". Fit an finish better than the other 3 I tried and no more buffeting. Test rode the shield with just a half helmet and sunglasses and at 75mph glasses were not shaking and only getting clean air. John at Freedom Shields is great to work with also. Now I have a garage full of shields. I like the RoagGlide and read about how hard it was to find the right shield and they did not lie. Never that hard to dial in a shield on the RoadKings and SG's I've owned. Appreciate all the responses and advice from the forum.

You can't go wrong with a Windvest.  

They still look sexy, not geezer, and really work well. (at least for me)

Combined with lowers, the plastic defectors for the engine guards, fork baffles

and you have a bullet proof set up.

Sizing up and getting the right size shield makes a big difference.

My vote is for Windvest.

Been through "the wind screen tour". stock, brand X, brand XX, brand XXX.

The tunes came in more clear and no more bad air.

Ride Safe,

Same here, Windvest on the 01. The stock 13 shield is working well so far however I'm curious how a WV would work and look.

Puzzled - what size Windvest is that in your pictures?  I tried to follow on the thread but got a little confused.

I believe they are 12" as Wind Vest measures them.

Ordered a 15" light smoke Windvest today. Looked at the Madstad but couldn't get over how it looks. Not unhappy with the HD stock flare, just need a bit more protection.
