Greg, I'm looking 3-4 inches over the windshield and get a pretty good wind from about my nose up.  Vent does not have much effect.  Wind is smooth and no buffeting but still effects hearing tunes and enjoyment.  Will probably try out either the taller HD shield or the 15" Klockwerks Touring or 15-16" Freedom shield. 

Dave I seem to recall your pretty tall, did you try the Pro Touring before your Flair?  Your using a lower seat though so may not be similar.

Gradually getting things set up two or three an evening.  Handlebar controls figured out, Radio tuned, phone linked, garage door opener installed, shorty antennas off my Limited installed and last but not least front reflectors are history.

Take off the rear reflector under the turn signal bar too.

Couple of late afternoon photos.  Not very good light and taken with my phone.

That's a B.E.A.utiful scooter, Ron.  Just got back from a oil run to K'ville West.  The Burgundy is still there along with the blue....Dale rolled the Burgundy out in the sun....that thing really beams in the sunshine.

Good ridin' to you, brother.

Guess I'll get to the rear reflector when I do R-T-B signals similar to Dave.  Been waiting to go back to Bumpus to see if they have the Custom Dynamics lights and some other small stuff.  They give a 15% off all clothes, parts and accessories with the bike.  Its not much but better than other dealers in the area.

Haird, what part of East TN are you.  My daughter lives in Knoxville-Cedar Bluff Area and need to take a trip up that way.  Just cant seem to find the time.

Oak Ridge....follow the glow

My mistake, I thought stock shield was 15 inches.  Its actually 14 inches so I probably need to be looking at 14-15 inch recurve's.

Dave I seem to recall your pretty tall, did you try the Pro Touring before your Flair?  Your using a lower seat though so may not be similar.

I'm 6'1".  With the stock seat, the stock shield was pretty good, some wind, but it was best with all three vents open.  Yes I tried the Klock Werks Pro Tour, took it for a 30 mile demo ride at Daytona with the stock seat on my bike.  Was better than stock.  I could run 80mph and my door-rag stayed on my head.  I was afraid with the lower corbin solo I was planning to add to my bike it would be too tall.

So, after I got the tour pack relocated and put the lower corbin solo on I put my wife's Klock Werks sport on my bike and road for a day.  It was about the same as the stock shield with the stock sheet, or slightly better.

If you can try the Klock Pro tour with out buying it, it would be worth it to give it a try.

Thanks Dave.  I'm 6'2" and wind is hitting me about nose level so need to push it up about 3 inches.  Going to see if any dealers within a couple hours have Klock Werks or Freedom to try.  I seem to recall seeing Freedom's at Cartersville and I think several HD dealers carry Klock Werks demo shields.

The stock windshield has been perfect for me but I have a rock chip in mine. If any of you guys who "upgrade" want to sell their stock shield, let me know.  Thank you!

Had to laugh a little today about the new bike. Found my first QC issue.  If this is the worst I find everything will be great. Picked up Custom Dynamic Led front turn signals and went home to put them on. Discovered I had one smoked signal with amber bulb and one orange with clear bulb. Easy fix.

[FLSTFI Dave]

Ron, Sounds like the dealer owes you a smoked lens under warranty.

[TNCarters]

While I agree with you and sure Bumpus would gladly do it, I am only 10 minutes from HD Cool Springs who is open late and sells individual smoked lens so decided to let Bumpus off the hook.  It was going to be next week before I could get to Murfreesboro and wanted to finish the light install.  Surprised the prep guy, salesman or I never noticed it.

Bought the led's at Bumpus and ran into my salesman who told me they had already sold my Limited.  Guess I should have tried a little harder to sell myself but saved a $1000 sales tax by trading.

[sneezy]

I felt the same way about the stock windshield. Just took my first trip with my new 15" Freedom Shield and love it.
