Rusty,
I think everyone with a new SERK has come to that conclusion.
I bought a used standard road king windshield to put on the bike when I picked it up, and have since put on a Clearview windshield. The Clearivew product is VERY nice. It is not only functional, but the tinted shields looks great too. I ordered the standard height road king windshield ('cause I'm a standard 5'9") but you can order custom heights if want.
And if thats not enough of a sales pitch, you also get a CVOharley.com discount.
You can use the search feature and find several threads on Clearview and windsheilds in general.
I am sure Howie would give you his report card on Clearview, but he is still waiting on his.
I'm sorry...I shouldn't have said that. I will punish myself by turning off the computer and going riding.
Later,
Ghost
