To all that are complaining about the stock windscreen on the SE's. Is it safe to assume none of you wear full-face helmets? I don't have one (obviously) and my last cruiser was a Valkyrie Interstate that I had about a 5" windscreen on it (way shorter than stock) and didn't have any complaints. I did wear a full-face helmet most of the time (Shoei, Arai and Scorpion) and a 3/4 helmet (cheap HJC) once in a while. I am used to full face helmets from many years of sportbikes. Still like 'em and I'm 58.

Been looking for the right windshield for me too, I'm 6'4.5" I just talked to a KW rep last week and he told me about the new 16" shield they've developed. I decided to be the guinea pig and ordered one. It should be here this week. Here is a pic of the prototype he sent me. I ordered the 16" light tint. I will let you know how it goes.

Which one should be the best one for me? I am 5.90 tall. What about the KW 12? There is a brandnew one into my garage which i want to built on when its warmer. Now i have the RG standard windshield onto the bike. Works good!
Thanks + greetings

CW  :nixweiss: Do you mean Klock Werks? Abbreviations are starting to get confusing.

  KW = Klock Werks
  CB = Cee Bailey
  CV = Clearview

Sorry Klock Werks is what I meant

FOR anyone interested - I have a CEE BAILEY coming in tomorrow that is 14" with light grey tint that i have decided i dont want/need.  I will be returning it on Thursday to CB.  If someone wants to save the wait, let me know and you can buy mine.

Well, I think my headache is over. Got my CV 15 light tint yesterday. Held up to the bike and said "ok, this could work" so I went about the install. Little tricky since I'm using the H-D chrome trim, ok, very tricky. But I got it. It's not as sporty as the KW or CB, but has a little flair, kinda like me. I sat on the bike and I still can see over the top fine. I measured from the instrument panel to the top edge of the shield, 13".

I am 6'1" and have 34 inch legs, and the CB14 is too short, I am thinking the CB 15 or maybe something else.

I love the looks of the CB14, just for a 300 to 500 mile day, I could not hand that much buffeting.
