I've seen one on a bike exactly like mine locally, I tried like hell to get one to fit and wasn't successful. Best thing I can tell you is to measure the distance in the holes of you windshield and then head to your local dealer and measure on of those to see if the holes match up.
Others on here have given me good advice on installing one but I really don't want to end up with a pile of scrap tin after bending it all out of shape.

If your bike has a smooth windshield it will fit, but if it stepped it won't. The fairing has been the same for a long time. I thought it was even before 2004 but maybe not.
-
I had them on a 2011 FLTRX. It didn't fit like a glove, but eventually found the right angle of the screws to get it on.
Not sure what the difference is in that area and why it says that the FLTRXSE and FLTRUSE won't work...

If you go to Cee Baily's web site, there's a place on the order form that ask you about the spacing between the outer screw holes (meaning the space between the first 2 holes down either side). There are different measurements.

Mine would not go on even with the stock windshield. :-\

I got one for mine and had to have a buddy at the Harley shop do some serious jerry-rigging (sp?) and trial and error to get it to work. He had to use little spacers and all to get it to work and its still not totally flush, but it is good enough. The stock shield on the 13's has that rubber piece so took that out and installed a 10" Windvest and was able to get it to come together, but there is space in between the windshield and the fairing right up front.
-
The problem seems to be with the wind splitter windshield and it's slots that are set at an angle other than 90 deg.
The cover kit contains two offset screw adapters. Place both on one side of the fairing, which moves one of the halves more toward the center of the fairing and it will line up well enough and look correct. If you swap windshields, I got a clearview, it will line up perfectly.
The fellow at clearview confirmed for me that all RG fairings are the same shape since, as I remember, 2004.
-
not even close on my Clearview the screen angles back ttoward the rider I got it on but couldnt get rid of the 1/4" gap at the front Jusi got a LRS Mako and will try it again the Mako sits a lot more straight up than the clearview maybe even get to clean the dash between the windshield and the radio now :P

I just went through 3 different windshield strip trim pieces and NONE of them fit my 13 FLTRXSE2. After the first try in my garage I gave in and took it to the HD shop to see if they could get the trim pieces to work. After about 2 hours they called me back to the shop where there were 4 techs standing around my bike with long faces. They told me that the trim pieces do not work with my bike. They showed me that the holes no longer line up with the 2013 bikes.
I was also told that one of the reasons that HD is discontinuing the RG in 2014 is because some of the dyes are beginning to wear out causing bad fitment of some products and instead of repairing the dyes they are going to use the opportunity to resign a new fairing. I was given this information by a completely separate HD shop, so the hole misalignment could be one of the issues.
Windsheild trim pieces tried:
HD
Kuryakyn
Paul Yaffe w/LED lights (turns out this is actually just a Kuryakyn with holes drilled into it and LED lights siliconed into place.

Hi All I have the same problem just got my Kuryakyn Windshield Trim part no #1370 with my stock 2013 cvo RG and stock windshield and it does not fit, the middle section is about an inch too short to meet the bolt head. am i doing something wrong????
-
I had the Dealer order one when I purchased the bike and weren't successful installing it they said it was a poor stock. after I picked up my bike I bought one from my local Harley dealer something I couldn't put it on properly. I then ordered the Kuryakyn and had the same problem.
-
i thought the nose fairing was the same shape thoughout the years :drink:
-
Mine fits, it was no joke to install though. I called it every bad word I know and made up a few along the way... It was probably Rich's fault I had so much trouble, just because.... ;) ;D

I just had my 2013 CVO anniv ed at Harley shop in San Diego - they say, they could not get the Windshield trim to fit. What is your secret? I wanted a black gloss one like in your pic. Is that a Harley part or an off-market brand? Thanks.
-
Mine fit with a Windvest on my atomic orange. I watched the tech do it. Took him about 45 minutes, doing it slowly and got everything lined up perfect. He had to use a couple of offset inserts. He told me the first few times, it was a bear but now its no big deal.
-
Thanks; So, the harley part worked by using a "Windvest"? What is a windvest?
-
Sorry, didn't mean to confuse. Windvest is the after market windscreen I have on my road glide. I prefer it to the other aftermarket brands, you can check them out at www.Windvest.com.
-
Thanks. So just to clarify... you are using a "Windvest" wind shield and the Harley windshield trim part? Is that what is on Rich's bike as well?
-
Yes, you got it. Not sure which windsplitter Rich is using but he has the same trim.
-
Thanks again. Maybe its the angle of the Windvest versus the stock windshield that allows the Harley trim part to fit. Does the Windvest really work better than the stock one? Is that the 10" gun smoke Windvest on your bike?
-
My trim worked with the OEM windshield pictured and the Windvest I have on now. Rich's bike has a Klockworks in the above posted picture.
Windvest cut to 10 1/2"

Thanks man, some nice pics... I guess the right tech can make it work.
-
The key is to not overtighten the inserts and if you are not aligned correctly, use the offset inserts.

the one you have in the pix is different from the one Puzzled has on his bike.

Good catch, wasn't paying attention! Looks like he has a Kuryakyn trim, I have the Harley version in gloss black.
