I'm running a 9 inch freedom shield dark tint it looks sweet and works great. You can see through it at night no problem with the LED's.

I really love the look of the stock shield but I had 2 issues that were driving me nuts-first was not being able to use a fairing pouch with it since I am used to my Roadglide with the glove boxes and I hate not having anywhere to put my glasses and other assorted "stuff". Second was getting hammered on the freeway with the wind. I am 6.3 with only a 34 inseam so I it very high. On my Roadglide I use a 18 inch Cee Bailey which I still see over easily. Been asking on our forum for ideas and appreciate the responses. Decided to try the Memphis Shades 8 1/2 inch Spoiler shield they make after reading a review from a guy that has similar height issues and said he tried multiple shields and this worked the best. Put it on today with the HD fairing pouch and amazed how little air now I am getting. Feel like I could juggle ping pong balls at 80 mph.
I certainly don't think it looks quite as good as the stock wind splitter but actually very happy with its look. The spoiler function allows me to get a much shorter shield than if it didn't have that feature.
Wanted to share. Lousy pic (and messy garage) with my phone but hopefully you can get a good idea.

for sure, why I have been struggling to figure it out. Think I got it now though

I agree.  way different

Im still trying to figure it out.  way more buffeting and way more wind on the legs in the cold.

It is a 1200 mile ride home from the dealer I bought it from so I will definitely know when I get home..

I bought my 2016 from Harley Davidson of Charlotte, flew down from Cleveland and road it home, I thought 525 miles was long, you will have to stop and get the 1000 mile service!

Nobody around here worth buying from can get the bikes in a timely manner. That WV Turnpike on the way home was a fun ride wasn't it?

Finally got the painted heat deflectors on. I think he did a great job

[FLSTFI Dave]

Alan, they really did a nice job on them.  They look very good.

[Racerdj]

Looks great!

Hey Alan. . I like the heat deflectors.  Got those on fast. .  Can I ask where you got them painted?? Thanks.  Stuart.

I just picked up my CVO last week and I really want pipes in black color and Ape bars any recommendations on both?

My local dealer (Biggs in San Marcos outside of San Diego) had their guy do it for me as well as a Yaffee license frame. He is a talented guy and turned it quickly. A few months ago I was in there and I saw a tour pak he did for someone else and I loved his work

Wow some how I missed your response from November, I would have bought from Hale's in Mansfield, they always treated good, especially the guys in the parts department, also would have tried Stinger or Southeast, but that would be it, but nobody had a 2016 in black and I didn't want a 2017, it would have been a lot easier, I could have trade in my 2015 Street Glide, but it worked out ok, fun ride home from Charlotte and ended up selling the Street Glide a couple of weeks ago.
