Sorry about the crappy picture quality of my cell phone.  It's a really nice rich looking red.  That being said, not impressed by the Hot Fusion Graphics colors.

WOW!!!! I was just checking out the new parts from the MoCo and they sure think a lot of this new windshield that comes standard on this years SERK...

Wind Splitter Windshield - Road King® Models


Reduce helmet buffeting at speed. The windshield features an exclusive fingertip-adjustable center vent that reduces turbulence behind the windscreen. Then open, the controlled airflow fills the negative pressure area behind the shield, and helps to smooth the flow of air over the top of the screen and around the rider. The revised flow reduces helmet bobbing and neck fatigue. The open vent also provides cooling airflow to the rider at low speeds and in city traffic. Engineered to provide the riding comfort of a larger windshield. The shape keeps the windshield below your site line so you don't look through bugs and road grime, and the detachable design means you can ride without the shield when the mood strikes. The shield is formed of hard-coated polycarbonate for strength and scratch resistance, and the dark-smoked finish reduces glare. The slim polished stainless steel brackets mount to the Original Equipment rubber isolated docking points for ease of installation and removal. Available October 2012.

Is there any way to attach a windshield bag to the new windscreen?  I can't tell by looking at the pictures.

Good question, I have been trying to figure out the same thing.  Cant tell from pictures or the P & A catalog. 

[jr1000yarder]

I don't think so.  The mail slot is in the way and no way to attach it.

I've been scratching my head for 2 weeks to think of a retrofit way.

Nothing yet.

I have a red one on order and will pick it up June 2013. I went to see what it looks like in person and it is a sweet bike.

I was afraid of that, no way to do a windshield bag.  I have always liked having one, and then the road glide has two glove boxes.  Like to be able to keep gum, or hard candy at my finger tips when doing trips.

Has anyone seen if the iPod hookup has an additional 3.5mm line-in plug? For Zumo audio, etc.

Put a deposit on a blue RK yesterday! Saw one at the local dealer and it was lust at first sight. And it was surprisingly comfortable; stock setups almost never fit my short arse.

Dave, agree with jr on this.  Saw a SERK Blue at SMHD this past weekend and doesn't look like any current bag will fit.  Here's a pic just in case.

I had a chance to sit on the blue SERK this weekend and while the vent/mail slot is pretty large, it's really not in the field of view any more than the bat or shark would be.  I did notice that the windshield was LOW as it hit me about neck high and I'm 5'6.  Didn't notice if it's adjustable or not but it would keep the wind off my chest but my head would be hanging out ('bout what it's good for according to some folks...)

Have a SERK5 coming in early November with my name on it - Anniversary color, MSRP.  Deal is my bike (SERK3 - Cobalt - 29,200 miles, perfect condition)plus $14K OTD (allowing me about 18K for the SERK3).  Would be getting the new frame, 6 gallon tank, ABS, tunes, etc.  Would need to add a tuner, pipes, header,  maybe a seat (w/backrest) at a minimum to the SERK5.  Tough decision - keep thinking I could keep my bike and buy a F800GS adventure scoot, or a Street Bob or a ?  Also concerned that maybe the value of the SERK3 has peaked and now is the time to upgrade.  Help me!

I ended up picking up my  Burgandy SERK5 this last weekend. I got a good deal on my trade so I couldn't pass it up. I took it out for a 130 mile ride.
The IPOD conecition works great. I am using my wifes IPOD until my music is uploaded to the one that came with the bike. I am going to see how the 3.5mm hook up works when I find my MP3 player. The speakers work good to about 50 miles per hour than the wind noise takes over and you can't hear the speakers.  I am going to have to find a way to pipe the music into my helmet.
I like the windshield the mail slot is nice to direct air at me when its hot. I am 5'7" so the windshield seems low but it wasn't a problem.  I also want a windshield bag, I will have to figure out a way to get on on there.
My fuel mileage wasn't bad either 43 mpg running it up the the mountains.
Overall I am very happy with my ride.

What a beautiful paint job...     Not sure why, but reminds me of this:
