Hi all
Since getting the 19 tri glide my other half is not happy that back is so much higher than the front. She gets a lot more wind than she would like. Any ideas or suggestions on how to remedy this? Different seat or?
Thanks

Get rid of stock windshield. Try an 11" LRS Reaper

X2 on the LRS Reaper. I just put one on about a month ago and really like it. I've used LRS shields for a few years now and have never been disappointed.
Current: 2019 Trike (custom 130ci T-Man kit with Darkhorse bottom end)
Thanks
I will look into taller shield.
If you could find a seat that lowered her, she would spend the day looking at your helmet ... so the windscreen is the way to go.
We went with a new windscreen also, 12" recurve, the wife is now a happy camper.

Yes, one of the newer better designed aftermarket windshields will definitely eliminate wind buffeting for your passenger. I own windshields by both Long Ride Shields and Freedom Shields. I'm a huge fan of Freedom Shields Wider Touring Style Recurve Model. It's wider at the bottom near the top edge of the faring, which allows it to push a bit more turbulent air outward and around the rider.
You can't go wrong with a windshield from either company....it's just a matter of what works best for each individual and their passenger.
Wish ya the best.....Wes

My last Freedom shield was covered with scratches from cleaning . Got out a much older LRS & not a scratch on it. Used the same things to clean it. LRS came out with the new Reaper in time for the new Trike. One of the boys got it for me as a Xmas gift. Janiene loves it. Took a bunch of air off. Just as advertised. If you get a lower seat it will prob. be hard.

We like the flat top
Not much to add except we are very happy with the flat top elite from LRS. All to add it is the best one we have used and it an't broke so I'm not going to fix it. Fred

All for now Trampas
Sorry
I went with a LRS reaper 11 inch clear. Hopefully the wife will like it.
We like our 10" LRS flat top with light tint.
It is what it is.
