luv2ryd, interested in that new windshield. What is your height and inseam and do you see over this shield? I am 6' with 32" inseam and on my prior RG had a Clearview GT small screen that I saw over with no problem and I liked that shield but am willing to try something new as well and depending on your reply will order this one and give it a try. Thanks.
I'm curious too.
I have a KW that I believe is their mid height, but that sucks the big one and anything over 55 mph I get sooo much wind buffetting that it lifts my helmet from my head.
I bought a stock height '09 standard RG windshield from my salesman new '09 RG. He bought the tall replacement stock HD windshield and I got his new old one.
This works a lot better but still not what I would consider perfect.
My windshield up the front from the bottom of the shield to the top of the shield is 17". If you measure up from the instrument pod to the top of the shield it's 12". I'm 5'-13" and quite tall in the saddle. I look over the top and eye line to top of shield nets me a point about 100' in front of the bike.
If I'm going down the freeway and put my hand up in front of my face and raise it up, just above my mid helmet above my eyes I get to the air stream. The side of my head gets lots of ear wind too. On a side note I've seen the guys with the new deflectors down between the tank and the inner fairing have seen some reduction in air volume with them. For the price I may try a pair.
I've now seen the new SEURG windshields and at first I thought they were recurved at the top, but they are not. The angle they lean back at looks more sloped than my '09 windshield and maybe the more laid back angle helps to flow "over" rather than up and back down right in my face.
I love my '09 SERG, but the windshield remains one of the major complaints for me; don't even mention the crappy seats on these bikes, that's a whole other story...
More windshield info / research is still needed in my opinion.
