Will the tall windshield give me better riding comfort? I have the stock oversized wind deflector on mine and its just high enough to deflect wind right into my face. Anyone have the tall windshield on their SERK?

[dreid3667]

I have a 2007 FLHRSE, I bought the extra tall clear windshield. It is about 2" taller than the standard windshield on Roadkings.It really works great. Parts # 57995-96,I paid 265.36 plus shipping From zanottimotor.com. I would rather rise my bike without a windshield instead of using the wind deflector that came on the bike. If you are wanting most all the wind off your face, then go with the extra tall full size windshield I mentioned above. My wife is also glad I bought the new windshield.

Go to the vendor section and check out the clearview shields.  You'll be happy with them...

If you have the stock short windshield, you should at least get a standard Road King winshield of normal height.  I bought one for my 03 SERK and love it.  The short one was like not having one.  I guess it is sporty.  I sold mine on ebay.

Yup, clearviews are thicker and flex less...I had one mt serk til I went with the DC fairing.

Clearview 17" is excellent. I'll use that for short trips and the fairing for longer ones. The stock screen was worthless last year on the trip to Sturgis, causing me to get some decent options.

The stock wind deflector works perfectly!  It deflects the wind directly into your face, pulling your glasses off and ripping at your helmet!  It is so much more comfortable to ride with no windshield at all compared to this little marvel!

I purchased the standard RK windshield for mine and it provides an adequate amount of protection from the wind.  I'm 6'1" and I can see clearly above the top edge.  The only problem is the wind that still comes up around the tank, but it is not bad.

The Clearview Windshields are the answer IMO.

Depending on your height they can help you get the correct height.  Make sure to get the "euro lip" as it is the best way to create the bubble effect to toss the wind over your head and greatly reduce/eliminate the turbulance around your head (from the wind  ).

Many of use have the Clearview and the windshield is dramatically clearer when you look through it as well.  A great investment in improving your riding experience.

Here are a couple of threads on Clearview for the SERK.  The first is Hoist's with pics of the euro lip.

I replaced the stock SERK windscreen, which was useless to me, with a HD Mid-low windshield. Much better. Then I replaced the lexan from the HD Mid-low, with an 18" clearview, and noticed no appreciable difference. Maybe the Clearview is good on a FD but it offers no benefit on my SERK, IMO.

One benefit is the MoCo ain't gettin the few bucks...

Howie, sounds to me like Binx was right.......you needed another inch.

I bought a low profile windshield for my serk and almost wish that I had bought the king size. I am 6' and the low profile blocks the wind from my forhead down. I tried a friends king size and found I was completely out of the wind. You may want to try both before laying out the $$$.  KB

King size works great for me. About 6'2" and good wind protection.

I got the Clearview with recurve.  While it was better than the stock mini-shield, it was far from what I was hoping for.  Still a lot of buffetting.  I don't use either one of them now.

Thanks TN, you and Hoist got this hard bag thing started. The rest of us are just trying to keep up.
