Lots of debate on this issue.....
this is bad enough  to go with the Ultra or not buy.  The wind turbulence on the 09 SERG is terrible.. The question is what do you use to stop it but not loose the looks?   

The Clearview shield solved the noise and turbulence problem on mine.  Smooth ride behind the fairing now.  And it's not a bad looking shield.

I don't wear one myself but I think a fullface would solve your problem...

TwoLaneBluesRider, 
Good advice.   
Which Clearview do you recommend

I'm between 5'9" and 5'10".  With the stock seat a 12" windshield.  With the higher Corbin seat a 14".

I have a 2" over Clearview on my current RG (and love it!).  I just received a Klock Werks 12" for the SERG (that will be here next week...   ).  So we will see.

Let me know how the Klock Werks 12" works I have heard mixed reviews.

I went through 3 shields on my 06 RG. Ended up with the Klock Werks shield.
Puts down force on the front end and not so turbulent at speed.
Full Face helmet solves the problem on road trips. Article in Aug Thunderpress. I have deposits on three 09 SERG's around bay area no VIN yet. Damnit how the hell did you guys get yours already?

I am in the same position you are...

The Road Glide handles the wind smoother as the windshield is attached to the frame vs. the forks. This setup reduces any wind buffering compared to the Road King.

Well, finally got my SERG and put the KW windshield on.  Have not taken it above 50 but today I will.  The windshield works better than stock but has issues with vibration at lower RPM ( just like a stock RG shield).  That might drive me nuts!  Forgot all about that after having the Clearview on my other RG.  Did not notice any difference in air turbulance or noise around the ears (yet).

Thanks for the update/feedback

Brought a new Silver SERG home last eve from Wild West HD (Great People)! As I live in the Texas Panhandle the wind seems to always blow. The 2 1/2 hour ride coming North on US27 was a thrill. The new Ride and 14" screen seemed very stable and I noticed little if any unexpected movement as a results of the wind. The frame mounted fairing seemed to cut right through it. The bike seemed glued to the road. Other vehicles passing or being passed posed no problem.

With exception of the seat, I loved the ride with 10psi in the shocks.

The seat didn't work for me. I was "burned out" with it by the time I got home. I have always rode Corbins and will likely order one. Please PM me, if anyone knows wether or not the standard Street Glide seat will fit the 09 SERG, Thanks!

I purchased a 14" half moon windscreen from Clark's Custom Windshield $54.00. The dealer installed it and the fir was perfect. I am 5'10", and the wind was 2-3" over my head. None in the face. There is wind noise but not overwhelming. What a deal on a screen! My thanks to the Clarks!

Love the BarBQ at Rudy's. Rode the new SERG over with the wife got this pic on the way out. Shows the shield I mentioned earlier.

That thing is gorgeous man! Enjoy it. That shield goes perfectly with it.

If anything was gonna get me behind a fairing it would be this bike! But it won't!

Best of luck with her!
