My 11" light smoked windshield should be here today. I have the 15" on right now and I LOVE it, but it is slightly too tall for me. Making technical roads with blind hills tricky because the top of the windscreen is right in my line of sight. Great for cruising long distance on interstates, but I need the shorter one for leisure rides. I DEFINITELY need to check on the mounted angle because my fairing whistles soooooo bad. 🙌

@parn0able8822 жыл бұрын
I know this an old video but for those that may be having issues w buffeting. The windshield height is usually the biggest factor, however there are other things to consider. A vented windshield can slightly reduce it, and there are "anti-buffeting" kits out there to space the windshield slightly away from the fairing, lots of people swear by this. Lastly, if you're getting a lot of buffeting from below and you're not a fan of fork deflectors, tank lifts can reduce buffeting while simultaneously keeping engine temps lower. Just thought I'd share.
@parn0able8822 жыл бұрын
Also for the fairing and windshield, the angle can play a significant role in buffeting.
@Delzona4 жыл бұрын
Another consideration is before you invest into a windshield is to make sure you have your seat dialed in. If you get your windshield height dialed in and then change your seat out your going to have to reconfigure your windshield again! Also you should be looking over your windshield and not thru it, which why your seat height is important to have locked in. The vent on windshields and H-D bike is to eliminate the negative air pressure that builds up behind the fairing/windshield that causes most of wind buffering experience

I've wanted the 15" Road Warrior fairing for a while, but they're pretty expensive. I have a sport glide so like you know, the mini batwing fairing doesn't do much. And me being 6' 1" I definitely feel all the wind, which usually I don't mind, but I ride all winter in Connecticut so I know that 15" will help A LOT!! I tell my fiance all the time what I want to upgrade on my bike and she just tells me to start stripping or become a gigolo 😅😂😂! Great video bro🤙🏼

Great detail on your review. Fork lowers really make a difference regardless of your windshield height. I used the Memphis shades mounts and used a set of metal Harley deflectors which are much narrower but still effective. The wide Memphis shades fork deflectors look terrible. I can also take them on and off for long rides easily with one screw. Just a thought. Thanks for your efforts on a good review...

Note to anyone making or commenting on a windshield, if you don't provide your height mentioning the height of a windshield is meaningless. Simply saying "the 13" was perfect for me" is no help unless you include your height in the comment. Without the creator mentioning that he is 5'10" this video would not be very useful. At 5'6" the 11" would probably have me looking barely over the top edge of the windshield so the 9" would be the way to go for me.

Hello! Thank you for the great video! I have a ‘21 low rider s with Memphis shades road warrior fairing with the 13” screen. My question is what kind if helmet do you wear while riding? When I ride on highway the wind and buffeting are so loud I have all vents closed in my helmet and I’m deaf by the time I get home plus headache from that noise. I may need to go up to a 15” screen for highway but then I’m 5’8” not as tall as you. So it’s so confusing. When you are riding and recording I can hear you perfectly. I can’t hear anything other than wind noise that is deafening. I tried music and talking to others on in the group on communication devices but it’s not great. And my shit is always top shelf I’m not sure if it’s the height of the screen or maybe it’s my helmet. I went from a super sport to HD and I still ride in my Arai as I had no chance to get one that ‘goes’ with the FXLRS. Even still Arai is a great brand doesn’t go with the theme of my bike but it’s good. I’m slowly swapping my gear over tho. Made some mods to the bike first and have a couple more yet to do. Any ideas? Wind screen or helmet? Thank you kindly.
