I am still experimenting trying to find Road glide nirvana with different windshields and various aero aids and saw that Clear view makes a vent similar to what is on the 2014's. Anyone use one of these with the built in vent? Seems like the same idea as a Mastad with air flow being allowed behind the shield.

2K has one and I PM'd him. He said he liked it and it stopped buffeting. I have one coming.

I have had one on my CVO Ultra for several years and it certainly helps with the buffering.  SJ Ron

Quick post. I don't read well on Mondays. Just saw road glide. I was posting re: Ultra's. Answer the same though.

Any comments from passengers? My wife says much more wind is hitting her than on the Heritage softail. I am ready to go with a really tall windshield and look through it instead of over it. I never had a problem looking through the Heritage and my wife was happy, and we all know what that is worth!

Friend has a Madstad on a Road Glide and it is adjustable up to 4 inches up and down. Has a space at bottom for the air to go under. He swears it's better than anything else he has tried.

Brad have you considered putting on the fork mounted defectors on.  You know the vampire looking things. You will reduce more from this than
changing out the windshield.  Plus it looks a lot better than those long shields on the RG.  Lori will Love you for this.

I don't have the fork mounted ones but I do have the GADS system which mounts a deflector under the triple tree and two clear deflectors to the turn signals that block the air along side the fairing from coming over the crash bar and up into the cockpit area. I have also tried removing the factory pieces that hook to the crash bar in front of the gas tank with no reduction. I have never owned anything so hard to get dialed in, three windshields and counting!

One of the RG's I ride with has one on it and loves it. I'd make sure to call them and let them know you have a CVO as the fairing is slightly different. I have not found one on their website with the vent in it. I might be looking at the wrong place though. The Gagstad is a huge favorite on the RG forum. I just don't know if I can get past the looks of them. I'm thinking of one myself in a light tint and only using it for trips.

Hi y'all has anyone tried the fork deflectors on their 2013 cvo rg and if so are they any good cause I like the windshield that the scoot came with and if I can make it better with the deflectors then I'll go that way. You guys always come up with stuff that is helpful unlike the stealers.thanks in advance.

Check out the vent at Rifle.com it's called air balance windshield vent kit, looks like it will do the job to reduce buffeting I'm not sure how it will look on a 10" windshield.

I am really happy with a 15" Windvest on my RG. I use a hammock seat that sit me an inch higher than stock and at 6'2", I look over the top with no buffeting in a wind free zone. With a stock seat, I probably wouldn't be happy since the 15" would be too tall, a 13 or 14" probably would work just as well.

what's different about it?  they both carry the same stock number, 58733-98B.

I think the CVO is a little wider. I tried a KW on mine before and had to fight like hell to get it on and it still didn't fit worth a crap. It was not a CVO shield. When I called LRS to get the Mako I'm currently running, they asked if it's a CVO or not. Also, the Madstad people have two different bases. One standard and one for the CVO. I believe it was a thread on RG.org where I read that the owner of MS stated the difference in the fairing.
