How does your windshield fit the rubber trim?

I ask as I tried a Windvest (my preferred windshield) and a Memphis Shades. Neither of them fit like the OEM HD windshield. I am in need o a windshield that sits 3 1/2"-4" above the highest part of the dash. I brought the fitment issue up with both the owner of Windvest and Memphis shades.

That is a Klock Werks Pro Tour 12" windshield on my bike in the last few pictures.  It takes a little work but does fit the factory rubber trim pretty good.  I have switched back to the Klock Werks Sport Flair 14", it is actually an inch lower, looks sportier and works about the same.

Great company, good service. I  just don't like their tall shields. For me, they are not wide enough and so my shoulders catch a lot of wind.

Simon, he makes a touring RG shield which is wider and a sport touring which is narrower at the top so it has a sportier appearance and plays well with taller bars.

I looked at them. I like that they give two measurements (windshield size and height above the dash).

I may try them once I figure out my required height.

The Klock Werks Sport Flair on my 15 CVO Road Glide Ultra was perfect, could wear a hat up to 80 mph and it would not blow off, could smoke a cigar.  I got very little wind.

Its not so good on this bike which is why I tried the 12 Pro Tour which is actually 1 inch tall and a lot wider than the sport flair but I had the same wind.

Not sure what I will try next.  I think the reason I have more wind, is no lowers, and due to engine guard style there are no wind deflectors on engine guard either.  The seat hight is the same on both bikes as I put a low profile corbin on the Ultra.

Just sharing my experience with their tallest touring model. Bought at Ouray GTG. Maybe they changed the design between then and now?

After the stock HD, and a Cee Baileys, I purchased a Clearview. The Clearview has a slightly wider base with hips and works really really well. This windshield got rid of so much wind noise around my ears that I now smile when I ride this bike.  This is the best money I have spent on this motorcycle.

Sorry to jack your awesome thread Dave but if you guys with wind issues haven't tried this product to redirect the wind you really should give it a try. Huge difference and cheap too!

Those for years were chrome at the HD dealers for about $20. I use to laugh about it being the cheapest chrome piece for your bike. ;D might be more by now.

The harley one came stock with my 09 CVO Road Glide if I remember correctly.  May try the harley one, but if I remember correctly it really was not a big improvement.

Are these the front end wind deflectors? I thought they were a smoked plastic?

Simon,

I believe they are talking about the "Dog Bowl" that fits between the forks.

Yes, stock Black ones on the 2009 CVO Road Glides.
