At something between 5 feet 8 and 9, I find it perfect. The vent flap has to be in the right position. Just a little move in either direction and you feel and hear the difference, but when it's right it's great. I rode a Heritage for years and only used the shield when the temp was under 50. The windsplitter looks like it should be too low, but I guess the shape sends most of the wind over my head, with just enough breeze to keep me cool. It seems that guys over 6 feet can't use it. Maybe H-D needs to make one an inch or two taller. The old classic style that looks fine on a standard King just doesn't seem right for the CVO.
X2 Absolutely right.
I was sceptical on this wind splitter shield when I first saw it on my Cvo king (sold now..boo hoo!)
As on my heritage and RK Classic the first thing to come off was the windshield and was never put back on till I sold it as both never worked for me and used to shake my head like a jackhammer!
however I percievered with the wind splitter and at 5"11" once you adjust the "vane" on it so you are looking exactly at it its absolutely perfect and gave me almost zero buffeting up to 85mph ..well pleased I was.
One thing I will say the type of helmet you wear makes a huge difference, I wear a full face helmet most of the time and this being more aerodynamic helps more than open face,half helmets or especially those that don't have visors.
My advice as like Puma said also, percervere with it a bit and adjust the vane till it's right ,try different helmets if you can , cause I think it's a great windshield and looks good too!
