Hello,

Any thoughts on who has the best all around windshield?  I have a Klock Works 8" that looks great, except for traveling.  I am thinking of embarking on a road trip, and am thinking of going to a taller shield.  I am roughly 5'11" and weigh around 195 lbs. 

Thanks,

Glide Boy

You're built just like me. Same dimensions. My inseam is 34". That would relate to your torso height to see if we're the same in the torso.

I have the KW 12 Flare on mine and like it.

The Windvests are very well liked on the RG forum. The little flip does seem to work. I'm 5'10" and like my 10" WV, but I like some wind. A 12" WV would be perfect for me if I wanted more complete wind protection.

I have always like Clearview windshields. Great product and customer service can't be beat.

I have the CeeBaileys on mine. Very happy with it.

Best windshield is relative to torso height and how you measure on the bike.  I have a 12" Windsplitter by HD and I like it a lot for every day use, however for a long road trip like 2,000-3,000 miles I would want a taller shield for protection and better music volume.  I am looking for a used 14" shield now for a 3,000 mile trip.  I will swap it out once a year for our annual trip, otherwise the 12" is fine for me!

I am happy with the Cee Bailey Cee Glide windshield on my '11 SERGU in the light tint.  Height depends on several factors, so the only way to know for sure is to take measurements.

How you sit, your height, torso length, neck length, and what type of helmet you like to wear all play a part in getting it right.

I have a Clearview GT stock height clear  windshield with recurve forsale, used on my 09 serg for about 6 months,  I am 6"2 and not enough wind protection for me.   Great shape paid around $220.00 with freight will sell for $150.00.  Thanks  Frankie O

if a person has a  Garmin Harley mount  in the faring will any of the wingshields interfere with the GPS by chance? 
are all the windshields here rigid  enough to not distort in shape  when we get caught in hig winds. i recall the stock  windshield on an 04 would fles quite a bit

HD doesn't make a dash mount for the GPS, at least not for the RG...that I'm aware of.  If you're asking about a Batwing, then no, the windshield won't interfere with the GPS mount, not matter which one you use.

On an RG, most of the aftermarket windshields are thicker material than stock.  My Cee Bailey does not flex.

great question.  i have tried many.  Clearview if you ride without a passenger as you can see over and be well protected but a passenger gets creamed.  if you ride with passengers stock Harley works best when sized so uou barely can see over.

There is a way to remove one of the small gauges (like the useless air temp gauge) and mount the GPS in that hole, with an adapter and bracket.   There is also a bracket that can be had to mount the GPS just above the Tach/Speedo pod.  Oherwise, you are stuck with the handlebar mount like came on the '11 SERGU.

too bad there is no room for the one that is used on EG and have room and keep the guages visible that are there.. oh well the handle bar mount is not that bad actually
