FLHRSE5 Windshield 2013 CVO Road King
« on: January 26, 2013, 10:45:28 AM »

Anyone out there know of a different windshield for the CVO Road King? The stock definitely cuts down the buffeting but the wife says she gets more wind than the standard RK.

I put on the traditional standard windshield that comes on every other road king.  i believe it uses the same detach connections on the bike.   i also added the traditional auxiliary lights.  looks pretty good.

I found a company called "Dragonfly Cycle Concepts". They have detachable fairings and they will color match and paint scheme. I might go that way.

      Took a look at that Dragonfly, Simpleman 1025,

         Thy seem to be able to cover a lot of needs. Hope it works for you!!

              That's one of the advantages in the USA you got so many places to chose from you just got to pick one.

                   Here in the UK were limited. We have to search around forums to find a supplier, there far and few.

                        Hot spots like Dragonfly are no good to us as their USA only (bummer)

After two test rides (factory demo rides) I opted for the OEM Road King windshield. I'm 6'0" and need the standard height!

Been there, done that two or three times with SERK's. While it looks good, you've basically changed one of the most obvious styling differences between a $30,000 RK and a $20,000 one.

The mailbox windshield pushes all the wind noise past my ears so I can't hear the speakers. Owners either love the mailbox or get rid of it. I prefer the RK as a touring bike, not a cruiser. Style takes a back seat to function for me.

Style is primary for me, this is my Bar Hopper, or Hot Rod.  Already built the motor.  I have a Road Glide for my touring for the most part.

I am riding the King to Key west, after Daytona this week a 2200 mile round trip.  This stock shield will suck for that, but locally and on the twisty mountain roads by the house its great.

Still thinking of a better shield for the rare occasion I plan to ride it more than 300 or so miles in a day.

The stock windshield is very functional and it really does cut down the turbulance. 

The thing that irritates the heck out of me is the vibrations and noise coming from that thing.  Soon as I touch it with my hand theres nothing but silence.  Let go and vibrations are back and is noisy as hell.

I've had the windshield replace under warranty for another issue but both behaved the same way regarding vibrations and noise.   Comes with the territory I guess.. :nixweiss:

Just finished putting 1000 miles on my 110 Anniversary CVO Road King #667.  Lots of posts trashing the mailbox windshield.  I disagree.  Prior to this CVO, I had a stock RK with a 22" shield.  The mailbox works great with no adjusting up to 50 mph.  It has to be adjusted every 5 mph after 50 mph, but once it is adjusted it works well as these speeds.  At highway speeds 65+ mph will have some buffeting, but it is manageable after some fine tuning.  Going to Laconia in 10 days with guys that like to go fast..... After that trip I'll decide whether to buy the 22" RK shield for long highway trips.

That looks awesome! I have the same bike (in Russia) and searched for the aftermarket replacement windshield for long time! Thought of the fairing, but don't want to overload fork since I am riding in heavy traffic in Moscow a lot! How tall are you? Is it good improvement from "mailbox" windshield for the tunes? Also would appreciate the photo of Arlen from the inside. Does the paint march the CVO paint?

Thank you very much for the picture - seems you saved lots of my days! :)

Just got back from Laconia.  Some of the back road speeds up to 90 mph.  From 65-90 mph you need to adjust the mailbox to just see the top side of the mailbox door.  The buffet hits the top of my helmet (I'm 6'1"), so strap down your half helmet and wear some motorcycle glasses.  I bought a set of HD transition glasses. Paid way too much but they work great with the strap attached.  I like the look of the CVO windshield and got a lot of positive comments at the rally.  I won't be buying any standard Road King Shields....

Bent Rod, I also like the look and the functionality of the glory slot.  I'll keep mine and may consider some other function down the road.

For the past few days I've been riding with a full face modular helmet and no windsplitter windshield. I don't give a rats ass if MOCO did wind tunnel test it at a university. You can skew test findings to say whatever...... I'm tired of fiddle ducking around with the vent to get some reprieve from the wind noise. Riding with the vent fully closed is not an option unless you want your riding glasses and helmet to buffet weld together!

Who are these ppl that come up with this chit. I could put up with the fugliness if it were functional but it is neither; aesthetically pleasing or functional. I'm 5'9" so I guess once again I didn't fit the ideal height requirement. Anyways, ordered a stock Road King Classic 20"er today and should be taming the breeze by the weekend!

I don't know....I'am 5' 11'' And have no issues with the letterbox screen. There is a bit of buffering over the 120kmph.....about 75mph in yaall lingo. But you don't get to play in that speed zone to often here in Oz.....Damn Cops are everywhere over here. But with saying that. This is the first screen I have ever sat behind other then the one on me car. :nixweiss:

"yaall lingo" Where did you come up with that one Aussie? We're part of the same Commonwealth and as such, I am aware of what 120 kmph is. Perhaps your 5'11" is mostly legs in which case you would not be phased by the height. Unfortunately I think my height is more in the body so maybe the blast comes from that. Anyway, safe riding to you.

  ;D...Seeing what ya's mean with the buffering. Took me mate standard King for a run the other day. And huge difference.....Don't shoot me man. Like I said.....First screen I've ever ridden behind. But yeah. I can still live with it. But might look at a standard Screen one day...

I mostly ride without a shield, but I wear a full face lid. I don't have any issues with the new SERK stock windscreen and have used it a few times, but I feel it is too tall for my taste. When I did use the stock SERK shield I tried it with the "mail slot" closed, but found I liked it better open. I do like to use the 11" Road King screen I bought from the dealer which is Stock on '08 FLHRSE2. It's P/N 58163-02 if you want to check it out. If I stand up straight, I am 5'10"  :)

I know it's an old post but been looking for a replacement windshield for my 2013 CVO Road King! Looks like Freedom Shields now makes a direct replacement! https://freedomshields.net/product/cvo-road-king-windshield/

I also contacted Long Ride Shields a 2ND time as they replied there shield has 7 holes but my stock version only has 6 holes!

Hopefully I'll have a bigger shield by next riding season as the stock one just isn't high enough for my 6'4" height! lol  ;D

I just picked up my 2014 CVO Road King yesterday and rode it for the first time today. 

First thing I noticed was the wind coming over the top and hitting me in the face, I'm 6'3".

What height freedom shield did you purchase for your '13?

Just wanted to update my post above.  I purchased the 18" Freedom Shield and tried it out for a week.  Better wind protection, but still too short.  I'm looking over the top of the windshield by ~6 inches.  So I am exchanging the 18" shield for the 22" Freedom Shield, which should do the trick.  Will update this once I get the 22" installed.

The Freedom Shield 20" is what I have. Can just see over and like the way the wind is cut down significantly. Wife has noticed, as well. Very nice fit and finish. The are great to deal with! When you receive yours you can mount it leaving the protective film on. If you don't like it, they will take it back - as long as the film is intact. I believe we get a discount for belonging to this site, as well!
