How do you like that Wind Splitter W/S?? I am thinking about getting one but I can't decide on that or a Klockwerks shield. I am 6'7 and I have a lot of wind buffeting that needs to stop. How tall are you for comparison?
The W/S is approximately 12" tall & I'm 5'10". I'm not getting any buffeting cause at the top of the shield its curved....but I do get good air flow or wind in the face....and those damn june bugs (ouch)! Once the speed is up around 75 its still air....I'm in the pocket. I like looking over the windscreen, not through it. HD has a taller W/S but its not dark smoked like the shorter one. I think you'll need the taller W/S at 15" (light smoked).
Update this afternoon: I do not notice buffeting with a half helmet but notice it with a full face helmet!
Thanks for the info! I think I may be better off with a Klockwerks instead of HD. I just need to try them both out I reckon..and I would definitely want the Dark Smoke as opposed to the light Smoke.
They're HD Blade 18" rims, front and rear, and are also available in chrome. The Dunlop tires are the same style as stock, but are low profile and are rated at slight less weight capacity at max psi (41). The wheel weights are stick on....in black! :laugh
RoadSofa, that is a fantastic pic! I love it! I hope you have that as the background pic on your computer and have it framed and hanging in your house.
I hope I can get my schedule synced up with my friend who is a very talented amateur photographer and do something similar. I'd love to have a pic of me and my bike in action on a scenic roadway.
I am jealous. You still get to ride while my bike is covered and hooked to a charger. And, the more I see beautiful Road Glides, like yours, the more I want to trade my EG in.
Just traded in my 05 night train for a 2013 Big Blue Pearl RG this week. Have to wait till they can get the bike in from another dealership. I'll post some pics as soon as I get it. Love the pics here.
Got my RG at Christmas. Weather finally warm enough (and the snow off the road) for me to take it out. Put 270 miles on it and am loving it. Changed out the air intake (Roland Sands), exhaust (CFR's love them), and grips. Tour pac is on the way for the old lady.
Pete's,
How do you like the floorboards? Dealer was talking me out of them because they said they don't have enough grip. Love the blacked out look. Nice bike!
Thanks for the approvals
The floorboards are fine, never noticed a slip in the 20K miles I have put on them. I was going for the edge cut/ raw alum over an all black part for the whole bike. I have a ways to go, the front end will be next this spring some time...
Thanks,
Pete
