Re: Windshield for 2013 CVO Road Glide Custom
« on: October 28, 2012, 09:39:42 AM »

Bought a 2013 CVO RG. Hated the Windspitter it came with but liked the look. Bought a 12" LRS Mako. Better but still get a lot of buffeting and don't care much for the look. I'm 5'9" with a 30" inseam. Like to know what you guys use and what you like and dislike about your current shield.

I'm 5'9 with a 30" inseam too. I love my Klockwerks 12" Flare.
No wind and I get no buffeting either.  I can even smoke on the highway with no issues :2vrolijk_21:

Best one so far for me

I've got the same one in light smoke. Being right about 6' with a 34" inseam  I wished I would have went with a 13" for a little more protection.

Don't think Klock Werks makes a 13-14 or 15".  They go from 12" to 16".  Bummer

I know. I'm thinking of a Cee Bailey's on the switch. Then I would have 4 windshields in my collection.  :-X Stock, Windvest 10" that was way too small for me, the KW and a new one.

You may want to look at Freedom Shields.  They just came out with a new shield for the Road Glide.  Or go with the Klock Werks 12" that Jr. has.  He seems to be very happy with the Klock Werks and it has the look that you like.

I now have a LRS Mako in the 16".  Just a little to high for me.  Going to return/exchange for a 15".  They also have have 1/2" increments available.  This shield removes the buffering very well.

All good advice. Have KW on my SG and like it so think I'll give the 12" a try.

Sure. Why do you want to sell it?

Too short for me. At times I like to duck below the top lip of the shield and it's just about an inch too short for that. I'll respond to your email in a minute.

Looked at Freedom Shields website. Kind of like the look of their shield. Thanks.

I went with the 14" H-D Windsplitter which is 2" taller than the stock shield. It's much better but it would be perfect if it was another inch taller, and slouching down helps at highway speeds. This only came in clear so I ended up tinting the inside with a dark smoke film, then ran a small-profile edge gasket along the edge to finish it off and keep the film in place. I really like the looks of the Windsplitter on these bikes.

It seems that anything bigger than 16" is a lot less sporty looking and more like a touring w/s. I tried a 12" Klockwerks earlier, hoping the recurve would push more air up and over me, but it was worse than the stock 12" w/s. The Madstad intrigues me, and everything I've read suggests it's very effective, but I'm just not sure if I could get used to the way it looks.
