I am 5'7.......the stock wind splitter is terrible for wind. Thought being short would help......not so With hat windshield!

I'm 6'1", will see how the 15" windvest works. Seems from what most have said 14" is a tad short for people my height and 16" is a bit tall. I like the top to be even with my chin.

Roadglide.org Has a thread containing the info of different windshield heights measured from the top of the speedo "ledge". Lots of good info. Stock height on my '11 FLTRUSE measures at 12 5/8" above that point even though it's the stock HD 16" sheild. Might be a good starting point to go by.

I agree. Using the manufactures size isn't of much help as there are several different designs. Measuring from the speedo bezel is ideal, a true number of sorts.

So, does the Windvest properly fit on the 2013 CVO Road Glide? I've read that the CVO windshield gasket is causing problems with a proper fit? Per the guy at Windvest they allegedly have a gasket that works with the CVO but that is just a sales guy...

kojak · « **Reply #50 on:** April 23, 2014, 07:25:57 PM »

Yes, its been on my 2013 now for 8 months. No issues. The width is a tiny bit off, but when you line it up, its not noticeable.

Thanks - the sales guy at Windwest told me that I would need to remove/discard the "original" CVO gasket and replace it with a "stock" gasket which he would provide. Does that sound right?

Hi all been following this thread for a while, to answer the question regarding fitting a windvest and using the original rubber gasket the answer is yes it fits fine just a little over hang on the gasket as the windvest shield is slightly shorter over all I change between original and windvest 14 all the time just be careful with the grommets in the fairing very easy to push them into the fairing. Hope this helps

Crash Bar Flaps, Vented Lowers ('10+ brackets), GADS LTTD, and 12" WindSplitter = Aerodynamic Nirvana for me! (6'4" 34 inseam)

I didn't add any of this stuff in any "scientific" order; 12" WindSplitter, Flaps, Brackets/GADS then (when Gunslinger finished painting) the Vented Lowers were the last piece of the puzzle for me. One of these days, I will re-install the stock "Toenail" to see how much difference the windshield actually makes, once these other pieces are in play...

Clean air, no buffeting, at any speed, with or without a helmet.

No, I reused the same gasket.

Ok. So I painted my Klock Werks 8 in to match my bike. It looks great but it sucks for any wind protection. Here's a pic.

So after all that, I went back to my 14in. Windvest smoke shield, and guess what. That's the one. All protection.
