Looks good Jim.
But function is better!

Amen to that Chip. 'Twas a major PITA to install w/ the trim. It will probably end up w/ the 1/2 doz. other various shields in the parts box.

Was afraid of that--I have been working so still have not tried it out. I am 5'7' though so it might be a bit better for me......I hope. I also installed a reach seat which is supposed to drop me a inch or so from stock height.
Seems like a guy is getting a great collection of shields from all this BS.

Slight recurve(less than most I've seen)
It comes with its own gasket
12" from center screw to top.

   How was the install,PIA or easy ...

[rganz]

Install was a piece of cake with the gasket that came with it.
Actually it was too easy now that I think about it..........Hope I got it on right

Happy to report that I was able to take it out for a short burn today and I must say I am impressed. I am 5 foot 7 inch and installed the reach seat (about 1 inch lower and 1 inch closer to tank than stock seat) with the HD windsplitter and I like it alot. At 80+ MPH I can still hear the stereo and there is minimum buffeting. I ride with a half helmet and there is no pounding of the eardrums either.  It is a keeper for me.

I was looking for the one with bug splatters and a beaming happy face on you

I wish the bugs were out , were still dealing with the last remnants of winter. Bikes have been out for a month or so but the street sweepers are just getting it together. Temp is around 5 to 10 degrees c. What the hell is going on with you guys , 27 degrees in April  Someone pizzed off the global warming guys and he is out to get youz.. enjoy

Washed last weekends bugs off the bike Friday, just head down to Lethbridge on the 24 Highway and you will hit some bugs just past Carsland.

Hi,

I just got one of these windshields and I have an installation question.  Do I remove the original thick rubber wind deflector gasket and use just the thin gasket that comes with the new windshield or do I need to use both together?  I tried using just the thin gasket but it seems to keep coming down off the windshield in the middle when I ride.  Before I try a little dab of adhesive I want to make sure that I'm correct in using just the thin gasket.

So far I do like it.

Thanks!

I used the one that came with it. Fits ok but does not want to stay in place and a touch of adhesive does help keep it in place. I removed the old one and set it aside....for when the stock windshield goes back on.

[Harley1958]

Thanks!  That's what I figured, but it's always better to ask than screw something up.  I guess I'll use a few drops of glue in the center where the gasket works loose.

Is anyone running the new H-D Wind Splitter windshield? What's your opinion of it?
