2013 CVO RG with 15" Windvest
« on: January 07, 2013, 06:06:46 PM »
After doing my research, I ended up with a 15" light smoke Windvest. I looked at all the different brands and this seemed the best quality and best looking for the money. Well, I took it for a 50 mile 35 degree ride today and the difference is amazing. I am 6'2", 205 lb and the bike seat and bars are stock. I was in a buffet free zone the whole way. A 14" might have worked as well but wouldn't go any shorter than that for my height.

Kojak2,
Is that the OEM windshield gasket or does windvest give you one to use with your purchase?

Thanks

It looks good, Kojak.  If it works in the snow it will work anywhere.   :2vrolijk_21:

It looks pretty similar to the Clearview windshield.  Yes/no??

That looks like this one:     http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/gma_product.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524448774170&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374309065645&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=2534374309065645&locale=en_CA&bmUID=1357687095468&bmLocale=en_CA



Only......it DOES HAVE a 'groove' to route the wires to the inside of the bars.

Top edge is little higher than my chin. I can duck behind it or look over it. The GPS mount is the Harley handlebar mount and I have the audio connected to the front radio aux input. Since I have the IPOD interface running to my right saddlebag, wasn't really using the aux input.

Similar, the Clearview is a little wider. I was looking for feedback from riders over 6' on the roadglide.org forum and the Windvest seemed to have the edge.

Looks good Kojac! I was looking at Windvest as well as I am only 5'7 the 10" should work perfect. That was the a recommendation from Yellowbird on this site. Of course you have to look at every possible windshield out there. Glad to see the light smoke to, I was going to go with dark but think you have changed my mind. Just taking in for header/ muffler and tuner. Thanks for posting and hope the snow is gone soon!

Kojak,
I have the Klockwerkes on my bike the one just under the tallest and it only werkes when I'm along with the wind,
The other times I get Rattled all over like a RagDoll.
I have the Stock one that's useless and now the Klockwerkes that I have to get rid of only to go with the same one you have,
I'm just a mere Inch taller than you but 330 #'s of solid Beer Belly :)
I'm glad I read your thread,
How is it in any wind condition? I remember wen I had a Tall windshield on my 03 King and it was a daisy of a ride, very much enjoyable in any weather.

Thanks bud...
