Adding these to my new ride this afternoon.  If the don't work like they should or take away from the bike, off they will come.

Just installed one. Forces air directly to face.  Wear half helmet so will keep vent closed and live with buffeting when cold. Will be nice when warm, just wonder about bugs to the face. Moco did not think this one through.

 Can the middle pouch be removed without the whole thing looking like crap?

Has anyone attempted to modify their old windshield bag to fit on a 2014. I don't see a need to spend $100 on a new windshield bag that doesn't work and will need to be modified when I have the old one sitting on the workbench.

I have the same situation.  Believe I had started another post somewhere on this same topic.  Waiting on what the HD solution would be.  Sounds like it is NOT as good as it could be.

I kept the 3 pouch windshield bag set from my SE Ultra and have thought about "modifying" it to go on my '14 Street Glide.  Guess I will pursue that idea further.  I had made up a template of the bottom metal brace and my intent will be to eliminate the center pouch and retain the left and right ones.  As I recall (without going to the garage and checking),  the vent "button" is located far enough (left) to end up under the left bag.  Shouldn't be a big problem as I seem to just leave the vent open at all times.
Looks like my next project will be this one.

I thought about getting this but am concerned about the airflow.

When I first picked up my '14 I played with the vent since the Radio was TOO Complicated for me. 

My theory is that the airflow from the vent flows up along the shield and at the top, deflects the air that is coming over the top of the shield.  By deflecting it, the amount felt on the head is reduced from when the vent is closed.  So if the pouch is there, the effectiveness of this deflection is reduced or ineffective..

Again, it is my theory and I don't have a wind tunnel to test it with some smoke to verify.

OK,  I went ahead and took the plunge to cut apart my old 3 bag windshield set from my SE Ultra.  I used a template and a dremel and cut away the center pouch so that the metal support underneath the whole deal did (not) obstruct the air vent.

So I now have the left and right pouchs and I even kept the middle (larger) one too.  On the Street Glide and I would assume all other Tour models,  there is a bracket directly above the oil cooler with two threaded (1/4") holes in it.  Made another template to match up those two holes and then drilled two holes in the back side of that bag and it is now tucked under the front end and available for extra small items and is (barely noticeable).

The middle bag cut away.


Retained usage of the third (middle) pouch and put it here.

I think that is a great idea!
