thanks jpdchicago
with your part number provided I was able to walk into the dealer again
and get the right swap that was in stock!
took all of about 15 minutes to do the swap!
and being a quick release I can always put the factory shield right back on!

You are welcome Bromebe. You are going to see a huge difference on the highway! Like you I kept the stock CVO shield handy. I personally only use it for around town riding in the summer.

[jpdchicago]

Bromebe, I was looking at your picture again and, for some reason, yours looks higher than mine. It might be the way the picture was taken. Should be the same if you used the same part number. Let us know how it feels after a few 100 miles...
I know it stills work great for me!

[Bromebe]

it is 22"!
a little taller that I wanted but might of needed anyway being 6'-3"

the kit was very reasonable

as I walked in to get it the GM talked to me more about the swap and told me about another employee of theirs that had a Road King
with a Freedom shield on his
http://freedomshields.net/rider_windshield_review.php?id=102

a replacement shield, meaning
the full kit I needed anyway
just for the hardware and it was cheaper to buy the complete kit
than buying / finding and buying the mounting hardware separate
so
I'll use this one for a while see if I'm looking over or thru like your suppose to
 and then later look into this
Freedom shield
they are also tinted and have more contour like the factory shield

[jpdchicago]

That is what I thought. Mine is a 20, not a 22. You always have that option. Sure works for me...

[Bromebe]

couldn't stand it or help myself
and haven't even had a chance to ride the bike with the new shield to see if it is to tall!
it's just the more I looked at it as is on the bike the more it just did not turn me on!

so ordered the Freedom replacement shield tinted at 20"

I'm going to have a wall of Shields if I don't watch out!

[jpdchicago]

Considering your height I am quite sure you will like the 20". You should be able to see over it and greatly improve the wind flow.
Good luck!

This 2014 road king is my first cvo. I purchased it about 3 months ago, I really hate the wind splitter, it does nothing to block wind and bugs. Iam trying to find taller and wider shield and tinted without loosing the looks of a beautiful bike.

I really like mine... so not looking to change it for anything else.  But then again, I am 5'7" and shrinking so I would have to stand up on my seat to feel any air turbulence

My '14 CVO Road King has the wind splitter on it and I like it. My road glide used to drive me nuts with the buffeting of my helmet. With the vet set right I get no bulleting with the wind splitter. I have been hit by bugs numerous times but I where a helmet with a shield so it is no big deal. I like feeling the wind to a point. I don't care for the wind I get with no windshield unless I am riding at less than 40 MPH. The wind splitter is just right for me.

[harleychef2011]

I agree with most... the Windsplitter is a God send for me compared to stock windshield.  I had a 2010 Road King and I NEVER used the windshield because of the buffeting.  I was told I could shave it down...but was too afraid of it looking ghetto.  I have the Windsplitter on and use the vent to have the air flow right over the helmet.  Love it!

Play around with the vent...it should make it more comfortable if its right.

[jpdchicago]

Seems to me that anyone under 5'11" might find a way to make it work but at 6' and over the Wind Splitter never gets comfortable. I only use mine around town, never on the highway. I have a standard 20" for that. Since I am almost always on the highway, the Wind Splitter sits in the garage.
FYI, I am 6'1"

[NMLazz]

I'm 5'11" and have not been satisfied at high speed with the Wind Splitter. I recently located some brackets and will be ordering a Freedom shield... Just not sure about clear or the new medium tint  leaning clear, I think it looks classy....but I like bromebe's with both the clear and tint.
Hope I'm not letting cat out of bag but I was informed they are almost done with a replacement windshield that uses our current brackets. I may still use the standard brackets just so I can easily swap between the two for long trips.

What do you guys think? Clear or tint on tall shield? I'll still use both.
