OK, your beyond me.
I'm a little new to the SERG stuff.
Lets see what Otis or 103T or Grandpadoc say about their measureing?

Sorry Bud!

If a windshield measures 8", is that the overall distance or the distance above the molding? Mine is 9" but that 8" looks way shorter. I'd like to get a 12" smoke but worry about that one being too tall and either in my eyeline or above it making night riding a pain. Thinking the 8" may be too low but with that flare at the top it may be the same as my 9". ??

On a Road Glide, the measurements should be for the overall distance (top to bottom, measured in the center of the shield) since the windshields on them do not go down into the fairing like on an Electra Glide.  I measured my 12" H-D windshield and it came out right at 12" when allowing for where the shield ends inside the rubber trim.

Okay. I got 13" to the center of the chrome piece and 14" to the bottom! I am NOT taking that thing apart to measure the actual size from top to bottom!! 

I think it's fair to say you have a 14" windshield on yours.  I'm going to a 14" since the 12" is too short.  I get a windblast at highway speeds that hits me in the forehead and I can see way over the top of if, so I'm hoping the 14" Clearview with recurve will end up being perfect for me.

You didn't say for sure what brand you're looking at, so one thing to keep in mind if you are looking at one of the other shields mentioned in this thread, if the shape/angle of the shield is different from stock, that is going to throw a whole different variable into play as far as what height would be best.

You ever consider the chrome trim?
Cleans it all up.


But then again, dOOd would complain!

I think the way Chip says is right thats the way I do it.

Gary never complains about chrome.

I'm going to pass on the windshield trim on mine.  For me, the SERGs are less about chrome and flash than the SEEGs.  I pretty much think it's perfect just the way it is.

He's not fooling me at all Brian has OCD just as bad as I do. I'll just let him continue trying to convince himself and watch.

Not fooling me either!
Bet he has the chrome trim on the Christmas list.
After I saw Otis's bike at M/V I knew it was inevitable for mine.
And at that time I didn't even own a R/G.

 

Besides, see Otis's post above, he knows!

Both of these windshields are nice pieces. They appear to be for the newer style fairings. This makes me wonder if there will be a version for the previous fairing, our SERG's.

The FLARE Windshield from Klock Werks is a direct replacement for your 1998 and newer FLTR/FLTRI.

I think it's only when you get into the taller windshields that the fairing angle change in '04 comes into play.  I've got the 4 1/2" solid black "Wind Deflector" that H-D says fits '98 and up.  Harley also has a 7" tall "Contoured Wind Deflector" that's good for '98 and up, but then when you get into anything taller (next is a 9 1/2"), they start breaking them out between '98 - '03 and '04 and up fitments.
