I took so long to find it that Bayou beat me to it.

Looks similar to Klockwerks style and pricey, too.

If at all possible, try to ride a bike with one on, we have a couple members here that do not like them.
Riders are either too tall, or, in one case a lady rider that complained of "buffeting" !
We do try a bit of bike swapping to find out if we like windshields, pipes, seats, etc.
 
FWIW.

 

I talked to Brian Klock at the Drag Specialties show in Reno last month.  I mentioned the complaints about buffeting.  He said that his shield was designed on the salt flats, for speed in a straight line......that if you're touring and looking all around, that might not be the best appliaction for his shields.

I would imagine the MoCo split windshield is going to be similar.  But hey.......the newer riders prefer looks over function.

SORRY YOU ARE INCORRECT!

YES there is one for the Road Glide AND also one for the Street Glide/other tourers.

The part number I listed in my post is correct. However it won't pull up the product now in the regular on HD online catalog for some reason. I'll keep trying and post the link as you did for the Road Glide.

The two products are the same price. $159.95 Retail

The curves in the Harley one that I saw on a standard Street Glide in the show room are not as pronounced but seem to do the job as well as look better.


The link in the next post to the online spring catalog is correct. Thanks "Krazze".  You'll find the product I am referring to on page 28 just above the Road glide one.

NEW Product

A. WIND SPLITTER WINDSHEILD – ELECTRA GLIDE

A. WIND SPLITTER WINDSHIELD

In the world of functional performance, size does matter.

After all, it’s simple to understand that the larger the windshield

area, the greater the amount of wind deflection. The

Wind Splitter windshield is a great look for all touring models

and is shaped for the perfect combination of effective air flow

management and “wow” styling. The sweeping design complements

the shape of the fairing and the inner dash panel, and

adds height over a traditional low-profile wind deflector in

the center where it counts. The rich smoked finish does not

interfere with your forward view, and looks great against any

paint color. The easy-to-install Wind Splitter features a centermount

Bar & Shield medallion for a distinctive finishing touch.

57164-10 7" Smoked. $159.95

Fits ’96-later Electra Glide®, Street Glide® and Trike models.

Does not fit with zu¯mo® 550 GPS Navigator, Windshield

I have been through two screens one was a 6" curve (had playing cards for a logo, I know its a popular brand ) anyway, looked good but my eyes where right in the middle of the thing when relaxed in the seat at 5"10" I thought I could pull it off. The wind was worse than the chopped screen that came with the bike! I bought a stock clear full HD screen (high & ugly) but I though in the New England fall I needed the protection and again I do not feel less resistance than the chopped version in fact more because of the surface area  Anyone around my hight with a recommendation would be appreciated..

I picked mine up and installed in a few minutes.

It does what I want it to do and looks good as well. The design does compliment the fairing curves.  

Also, the top of the windshield curls forward to deflect the wind from your face.  

I am looking forward to riding my "scoot" down to Daytona Bike Week this coming weekend with my buds to try it out on a 200 mile round trip.

[Ed45]

I thought there was another thread on this windshield. I have one installed on my new UC but have not ridden it... DRATS!

[Pete]

Let me know. I just put vented lowers on the bike a driver backrest and gps hook up. I definitely want a good screen.
Wish I could be riding like you down there in FLA but soon enough!

[MKW]

As I mentioned on another thread, I installed the new 7" wind screen today and plan to take it out tomorrow.  I'm 6' even so we'll see how it works-more ot follow.............

[DABB]

Anyone with a ride report and a picture report yet?

[JCZ]

I think I'm going to have to stick with my Windvest 8".  Leave this shield to those that need more wind in their face/chest.

[JDOFLHRIDER]

In cinci show national rep said they made these h-d windshields.national sells there's for less h-d emblem must be 30-40 dollars more.  jdo

I just got back from Daytona Bike Week.

I took the opportunity to test out the Windsplitter windshield on my 2010 CVO Street Glide on I-95 for about 95 miles at various speeds from 65 to 90 miles per hour over sustained periods of time. I am pleased with how it performs as opposed to the stock shield. 

It is real nice at 80mph and lower which I tested on the way back to Jacksonville on Route 1. So for me "It's a keeper".

FWIW: I am 6'2" tall (JCZ). 

I am sure shields that are taller would improve the air flow more but for me this one works well and compliments the styling of the bike.

Good to hear ... thanks for the feedback.
I put mine on yesterday - gotta agree the styling is spot on.

[trwtow]

you sold me ordering today thanks

[DABB]

Anyone take a picture of it installed?

[CVOStreetglide]

I recommend dealing with Jennie or another dealer who will give you a 20% discount.

I have pictures and will try an post them later on.

I've been away the past few weeks but will post a pic of mine tomorrow.  It works great and looks even better   

[paprgod]

For whatever it's worth and considering that we all have different likes/dislikes, I was not at all happy with the stock shield on my FLHXSE.  I've been riding Ultra's for the past several years and I felt like I was going to be blown off the bike whenever I was speeding safely down the highway. 

After riding with a few different shields, I went with the 8 1/2" Klock Werks Flare.  It's the shortest shield in that line-up that will still allow the installation of a fairing pouch and it has made a world of difference for my 6'3" 290lb. a$$ at speed.  I bought mine on eBay from seller henleyskustompaintinginc129 brand new in the Klock box for $139.00 simoleans delivered.  It works very well for me and I think it looks great.

I'll post pics later on today.

Please start another thread. This thread is for the HD Windsplitter product only and is not intended to be an evaluation of all of the various windshields. THANKS VERY MUCH.

[CVOStreetglide]

I am not sure but it won't work with the Garmin accessory as I recall.

[trwtow]

anyone know of a windshield bag that will work with this windshield. thanks again terry

[DABB]

Or if the HD windshield pouches work?

[trwtow]

Or if the HD windshield pouches work?

yes that too

[trwtow]

[worshipduder]

[DABB]

Windshield looks good.  How about if you try the two pouch bags for us so I can buy one and know they work?!?!

[DABB]

Looking at the shield in trwtow's picture, the Harley windsplitter, I beleive.  Thanks.

Harley should be able to tell you. they usually have both items in stock and u could put the pouch up to the shield to see

I am sure shields that are taller would improve the air flow more but for me this one works well and compliments the styling of the bike.

I agree, it's a nice looking shield.  I'm wondering if I could live with it on long trips as well as every day use.  I'm 6'3"  I understand it wouldn't be as good as a taller shield but I don't generally like the looks of the 8" and taller shields.  If I go with the taller shields it will be on only for 300+ mile trips.  I'd rather get one shield that looks good IMHO and functions better too.  How much of an improvement is it over stock?  Slight/Moderate/Great  Other???

[HD4CPA]

I tried the wind splitter.  Rode about an hour on and off frwy in a slight wind.  Doesn't work any better than the stock 4" IMHO.  I am 6'3" though.
