Tall winshield or Stock winshield

[BillyGA]

I have read where converting to a tall windshield on the TG will reduce head shake and turbulence. Has anyone converted their windshield?

I have a Roadglide with a conversion, it had a 9" HD Windsplitter on it when I got it. I am 6' tall, 30" inseam and driving it home on it's virgin trip (virgin to me that is) and it beat me up. I put a 13" Longride Re-curved Shield and it was night and day. I will attach pic's of both.

I went with a National Cycles 18" windshield and it is great. Wife has less turbulance and is more comfortable. I look through it but it is so clear that I forgot about it after about 2 minutes.

Once we put on the Zeppelin seat which raises the riding positions, the wife was taking a beating due to the turbulence from the stock shield. I ordered a 13" Freedom and once it was installed, the Misses was a very happy camper once again.

I have always kept the stock windshield, until I bought the '14 TG. The windshield is entirely too short so I had to buy the old stock size.

I don't understand Harley First the eliminate the CB on the '14 then they put a %$#@ tiny windshield on it - at least they didn't put the f%$#g stupid 3" one like they do on the StreetGlide. To me that's moronic.

And they made the tourpac smaller - they say it's a few cu centimeters bigger - BULL. I could get larger items in the older one then the new one because of the sloping sides.

A couple of days ago I installed a LRS flat top, 10", light tint. I was using a LRS Ultra, 10", light tint. This was a great windshield, just when we were in nasty weather the Sweetie was getting to much bad stuff. The Flat top is a bit wider at the top. I have a couple of pics for comparison. Jim

That last picture was not suppose to be in this post. I tried to edit and remove the pic, just couldn't make it work. LOL It is a picture of the trike that has converted to a painting using an app, called superphoto. Jim

Thank you for the input and thank you for your service

I got a PM from BillyGA wanting to see a pic of the whole bike with the new shield on so here you go.

My dealer let me try out multiple different windshields. The best was the clock werks 12 in what a difference and with the down force on the front wheel my triglide handles better. Before you buy check them out.

I am an odd duck (nothing from the peanut gallery), I have to see over the windshield. I actually like a little wind in my face and Lord help me, the associated bugs ...

Then I reckon me and you are from the same pond, because I like being able to see over the windshield too.

Of all the bikes i had only one VTX1800 had a tall windshield, And that was when i was smoking Cigars and could go 70 and puff away.. The downside was in the rain and at night the oncoming headlights from cars made it hard to see through it'...I ratter see over then through...

Same here Fuzzy! I have the 8.5 smoked KlockWerks windshield on my Tri-Glide. Look OVER the windshield, not thru it

[Recycledteen]

I'm in the same boat with Fuzzy! I definitely want to see over especially at night. Bugs will have to just sacrifice their life if around me!

My windshield is at eye level. I can adjust my Road Zepplin seat to look over or look through depending on my mood. I can also scrunch down or straighten up to look over/through the windshield.
The windshield that comes stock on the TG is too low (for me). I replaced it with the old standard height (10" I believe) windshield.
