It seems like the Cee Bailey's 14" is the way to go.....
I LOVE the look of the Klockwerks, but if it is not protective of my eyes, then its useless to me.
That Cee Baileys looks great. Thanks for showing after I switched to Clearview GT Small. It does work great though:
@ guilty , which one is your favourite ?
@highjagger
Hi Klaus,
the new one, stealth lugg rack, arrived yesterday from the US. Will be mounted next monday at the Factory ;D

I made the mistake of purchasing the SERG windshield...WHAT WAS I THINKING??? :nixweiss:
This weekend I took my RG for a 275 mile ride...back roads, main highways, etc...dear God...as soon as I exceeded 50 mph, the buffeting and turbulence was practically unbearable!
Needless to say, I am in the market for a new shield. The problem is, which one? At 6'2" and a 34" inseam, I sit pretty high in the saddle and hate to sacrafice aethetics for wind protection, the stock RG windshield is terrible looking and I was thinking about trying the 8" KW's because I like the look. I can handle wind, but the buffeting is horrible.
Everyone has their own idea of what looks good, but I find the Clear View very acceptable looking and John at CV will make one for you at any height, with a recurve. I have a slightly lower than stock (-2") dark tint sport. I see well over, wind buffeting minimal and yes, I'm still very much in the breeze. I also have a light tint CV GT small which is raked back more than the sport and top edge is again about 2" higher than the sport John made for me, which also looks fine. I'll stick that on for those long trips.
OK guys...
I suffer from severe dry eyes and as much as I love the "as intended" look HD gave the SERG, I cannot ride this bike comfortably with that useless piece of plastic at the top of the fairing.
Can each of you put up your pictures of your aftermarket windshields... Clearview, Klockwerks, Cee Baileys, etc, along with you personal reviews with important stuff like seat, rider height & inseam, etc?
This will help us "less informed" make a better decision on what will suit us best.
I'm 5-11, 29" inseam using the stock seat (for now) but looking at a Danny gray Solo

You were thinking that screen looks super cool....! :oops:
I took a slow road home the day I took delivery... and it was 12 miles home... and raining... I dont care for it, but I still havent found a WS I love... I think the Clearview GT "Sport" will work for me.
@ Dunwurkin ,It's being mounted as I speak because here in Ontario, the snow is just melting, and the roads are covered in sand and salt. I used the Clear View GT small tinted extensively and LOVED it on my 06 RG. So I'll still use that for longer trips on my new SERG. The 2" shorter sport hasn't been tested by me yet, but John at CV doesn't BS and he felt confident the new short one would be a huge improvement over the stock deflector, and still look great. I saw Jim Kerr's taller sport custom and feel confident mine will be great also... we'll see next week if it warms even a little. I'm 5'10" with a 33 you-know-what but sit fairly tall. I like to see well over the shield. Good luck.
Do you have a pic with your CV sport and with your CV small ?
What`s your height and inseam ( sorry for using this inse..... - word ) .

I like the look of the GT Sport, but I'm leaning towards the CV - 14" Dome. DECISIONS, DECISIONS!!! :nixweiss:

I'll post a pic of the new ride as soon as I get it home.

Just received and installed my CV GT Small. Took six weeks to get, but I was able to buy a stock RG windshield from an employee at the dealer for $50 to get me by. I really like the fit and finish and the thicker material makes it very solid. Very comfortable and minor buffeting at 50-70 mph, even nicer between 70-90. :2vrolijk_21:
Hey DPnSD,I would like to know also
The shield looks great. Would you mind if I asked how tall you are, and what your inseam is?
Thanks in advance, Ken 8)

Do you have any front-end-wobbeling when you are very fast ( 170 km/h ) about 110 mph and leaning into a highway-curve with this shield mounted ?
( I have the WindVest 12" and it is getting very dangerous at 110+mph , front end wobbeling , i thnk this WV is much to straight up , i want to know whether the leaner angle of the CV GTs makes a better job in this situation )
OK , thxs ,
@ guilty and all the other who have a ClearView GT small on their SERG ,

No problems here, 110 mph is very stable, no wobble or anything unusual.
Do you have two gaps besides the center screw ? I have .
12" Windvest w/blacked pc mldg. Shield works good for me.
Ok, so here's my latest windshield.... Its a Cee Bailey's 16" Euro TRSSC in Dark Smoke. Weird part is, I'm 5'9" with a 34" inseam, and I can see right over it, also the Dark smoke isn't that hard to see thru at night. Just thought I'd throw some pictures out for you guys. 8) If these are too big, moderators feel free to resize.

@ Smuth ,I like it a lot. Please take note that I got the "Euro" shape, which is different than the "Dome" shape. (The "Euro" is more square across the top, while the "Dome" is more rounded.)
This CB shield for standard roadglide looks pretty good , much more better than the special one for CVOs and when the fit with standard gasket is perfect like you say then it is worth to test it i guess . :2vrolijk_21:
After trying 4 different windshields, I, too, went with Cee Bailey. However, I picked the FLTRSSC 16" Euro in dark Gray for the standard Road Glide rather than the one specific to the SERG. (I liked the shape better.) I am 6'1" and still look over it easily. I bought a standard Road Glide windshield gasket from the dealer and it works perfectly with this windshield. The windshield worked great on the road trip to Sturgis and back.

Yes the EURO has the flat top but they don`t do it at the special for SEs and this is the CEE what i have had seen once what i was expecting to receive but then i as told to order the SE-model because of fit and it was bad in look and in function as well , i sold it again .
It fits fine if you don't use the SERG gasket. Use the stock Road Glide gasket - put the gasket on the bottom edge of the windshield first - it has sticky inside the groove to hold it in place.I know , i use the standard gasket for the Winvest 12" .
Got my Cee Bailey 14" Dark Grey. All I can say isSweet, Clean, and Bi***in :orange:. You cant go wrong with this windshield. I am 6'0". :orange: :mango: :bananarock: :apple: :jalapeno: :cucumber: :pineapple: :pepper: :2vrolijk_21:
Hot Damn...I 've got a 16" coming in Light Gray , be here friday I'm 6-2", Can't wait to try it..How about a ride report???
first post and it's a product testimonial, Hmmm. sumpin awful skwuwy goin on.
i saw these a year ago, some function, little form
Ok here we go....I am looking at all of the windshields and just wondering what helmets are being worn. 1/2-3/4 or full. I like the looks of my bike with just the stock windshield but with a fullface I can not believe how much noise I still get. I would like to keep the looks of the stock windshield but I also don't want a "billboard" infront of me. Any ideas about just a 8'' OR 10". I don't have wind in my face,( hence the fullface helmet) but just something to bring down the noise. Thanks
