I put on the Klock Werks smoked ... I'm 6' 4" and it cuts very well for me.  I get some helmet slap above 65 mi/hr but much better than my old short shield.  I recomend the KW and it looks great too.

IMHO that shield has too much going on. I guess for me, it may lean heavier towards the function side (though if it ineffective above 65, then it isn't even that effective), but it takes away from the clean lines of the bike. Just my 2¢... YMMV

Update** Windvest isn't sending out any more shields for CVO Roadglides stating that there is a fitment issue that they are correcting.. Windvest claims the update should be completed soon..

FUZZNUTS installed the 12" before leaving for Eureka Spring. He is very livid and said it is totally useless.

Damn thing ,always the same bullshi... ,
 before ordering i asked them about the perfect fitting and they wrote to me that it will fit .
Now they received complaints and checked it again .
 Why don`t they do this before promising such things to us .
Fuc...of WV .
( just my 2 cents )

My 12" Windvest that I bought from HD-Dude works pretty good. I am 5'10", look over the top, about the same relationship as my SEEG was with the middle HD Shield on. The Klockwerks 12 did nothing but look nice, otherwise it was less effective than the oe air deflector. I like the Windvest, it fits fine with the stock Road Glide Mldg. Would be nice if it fit the new SERG Lower mldg, otherwise no problem.

I just got back from 1600 miles behind my 12" WV. I don't have any serious complaints. A little taller would be nice. As I said in an earlier post I should have went with a clear windshield, I should have! I rode in four plus hours of rain today and the tinted shield was a bit tough to hide behind and try to look through.

I agree , the WV 12" works with 6.1 and signature seat too , a little taller would kill the acceptable look but would mean better function , the fitting could be better , i will keep this for tours and two-up-rides , I`ll try the CV-gasket when the CV sport will be here this week ( i hope ) , this will become my solo-cafe-racer-shield ( i hope )

Has anybody purchased the 10" WindVest yet? I am interested in the measurement above the gauges. It looks to me like the 12" clear would be perfect for fall/winter/spring and the 10" Gun Smoke might be nice for the summer months.

OMG my head hurts.

Thanks for the great input guys. I have been following the threads to see what is the best replacement for me(I am 5'9") but I am completely baffled as to which one to go with. I think any recurve windshield will cause more turbulence--right or wrong??????????
But most of the regular ones are butt ugly. I am seriously thinking that a taller OEM one is the way to go but I would like it blacked out like the one that came with the bike. Does anyone know if this exists.

Have the 12" Windvest, as mentioned earlier. Rode yesterday, took surface road (65 MPH speed limit) to try and avoid love bugs. I was wrong on the love bug deal, hit about a million. Windvest worked great, had about 3 or 4 on top of my helmet, rest were stopped by the windshield.
Good deal. AND 150 Watt Hawg Wired Amp w/CX504's is outstanding. Volume to waste at 80.
