I have a curved 11 inch clear presently I plan to try next year. I took off a black (dark tint) curved of about 9 inches. Do you think I will notice any difference?

Just Curious, What color and size windshield you have on your TG?

If you have a passenger they will notice it with the taller shield..I liked mine tall either way.
I liked the HD Wind splitter ... good air management.
That’s what I was wondering, if the wife would feel it less. She complains after about 2-3 hours of wind pummeling her face.

For the last several years about the only aftermarket shield I have purchase has been the LRS's (long ride shields). I probably have 3 different ones right now and at least two of them are either 10" or 11" flat tops.
Actually this is a really good time to check their site because they are having a Christmas sale and you can scrore some nice ones for $45.00.

Good to know, thank you sir! I will add that to the list of sites for Christmas shopping.

We run a 12" Freedom clear touring style windshield with a recurve at the top, the Misses really likes it because the wind doesn't beat her up.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave in a well-preserved body, but to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting...Holy Sh!t What a ride!
I am also running the 12" Freedom recurve touring shield. There's no distortion. I got the light tint. I really like it.
I like the LRS shields. I have a 10" flat top recurve with light smoke tint for Summer, and the same in 12" clear for Winter.
I guess it's about time to change over to the Winter shield.

Have two different windshields that I use. I have a Freedom Shields (FS) 7 inch Medium Tint Wide Touring Air Recurve model, used during cool/warmer temps. Use a Long Ride Shields (LRS) 8 inch Ultra Recurve Medium Tint model for cold weather riding.

13 in freedom recurve touring. keeps 69 year old wife happy.
The stock 10" is too low. I've always put the optional H-D 12" clear windshield on my TG's. Can't ride with a dark tinted shield. I want to see ALL OF THE ROAD SURFACE. I've always wondered how do you guys see the road at night????

I'm running with a Harley light smoke CVO windshield. It is has a slight recurve, but it is also wider at the mount points.
I have used Freedom Shields on both my two-wheelers and trikes for quite a few years and would highly recommend them. The plastic they use is much thicker than most others I have seen and the recurve at the top allows you to get a shorter height and still not get buffeting from air flow over the top.
They have a new model out now that I think is incredible. The windshield is wider and sticks out over the fairing on the sides. I've found this really helps stop the air that normally flows around the windshield and it keeps more wind off your hands if you ride in cold weather. I don't work for Freedom Shields or anything like that. They are local to where I live and love their products.
Here's a picture that shows part of the windshield and how it is wider and goes over the fairing. If you consider how far that bottom piece sticks out, you can imagine how much more windshield area is in front of you, blocking the air.

Flat Top windshields for us
My bride loves the flat top designed windshields from Long Ride Shields. We have a half a dozen of others but for wind management for passenger the flat tops seem to do the best for us. Get what you want and be sure it works for you have a great Christmas shopping.

I have a couple of recurves. One for summer and another for winter. They both kick the air up higher, resulting in less buffeting. Both are LRS, both are clear. I've had smoked ones in the past, but did not like the reduced visibility when looking thru them at night.

Taller is better for the passenger. If they have wider I would do that too.
I used LRS in the past and worked great.
And I get to break all the Christmas lights at the top of the threads.
