FLH SHIELD 16 CLR

: FLH SHIELD 16 CLR: Automotive

I bought this to use in cooler weather and to keep the wife from getting her head knocked around with wind when she is on the back of my 2010 HD Ultra Limited.

It is a bit thicker than stock but it is because it needs to be rigid because of the 16" height! Fit is fine and the there are no gaps.

Pro Tip (I got this from an old-timer who has ridden for 60+ years) - I clean mine with Lemon Pledge furniture polish and a SUPER SOFT cotton cloth, almost the same as a cloth baby diaper. No scratches doing this but use some common sense; if you have dirt or grime on it use mild soap and water first, then dry. Lemon Pledge and soft cloth will take the bugs off and wipe it dry! Bugs seem to come off easy after it is treated. I do not know why Lemon Pledge, but this is the only one which works the best, other scents and brands do not work as well.
Put this on an 08 Street Glide. Yes it's big and I opted for the clear version as I ride a lot after dark and I want to see what's ahead. I like to hide behind my windshields as I've been hit in the head by more stuff on the open road than you can imagine, stones, beetles, praying mantis, and even birds. Hmm ... every classic rock band? Then there's the idiot flicking cigarettes and the jerk off who thinks he's cute using his washer squirters.
No optical distortion that I noticed. As other reviewers stated its thicker than stock but that makes it nice and ridged. Took all of two minutes to install. Quite pleased with it for now.
2012 Harley Davidson Ultra Limited
Thicker than stock, but installation in less than 5 minutes.
I bought this to avoid the dreaded "head wobble" at high speeds because I am 6'9" ... replaced a 12" shield.
Looks great, and exactly as advertised. I enjoyed the shorter shield more except for the 70-80mph issue I was having. Now that I have this shield, I have no wobble at all.
I can honestly say I like this Windshield. The motorcycle had a Four inch something on it. I don't even consider that thing a Windshield period.
Instead of buying an OEM Windshield at a high price. I searched and purchased this one with no regrets.
It's a couple of inches taller than the OEM and thicker. It does well on highway and has a good sight line. No top of Windshield line obstructing your vision and offers good protection. Fit and finish is good also.
I love it. I got it yesterday and installed it as soon as I got home it took about 5 minutes at the most. I have a 2006 Ultra Classic Electra Glide. Fits perfect. I took the bike for a ride and the visibility is great. I am 5'6" and I have always had a problem with the 13' Windshields my vision is right at the top edge of the windshield. Witch make me have to look under that or over it. This windshield raises that edge 3" and that is perfect for me I road and till dark so that I could check it out them and it is great. I feel very comfortable with the visibility of this windshield Well worth the money.

This windshield was just the ticket for me. I'm 6'6" and needed something more during the cooler months. My original shield was 13" and the wind hit the top of my head making the ride uncomfortable. I went for the 16" shield and it works perfectly and was a breeze to install. No issues and seems to be holding up well.
The windshield is great but...it is substantially thicker than your OEM shield. If you are riding a bike like a HD Ultra Glide whose fairing isn't mounted on the bike frame, your front end will get real heavy which affects handling negatively. Shield is made of high quality material and shipping was fast. But the extra weight does matter.
I purchased the 16'' for my 2009 Electra Glide Ultra Classic so that I could wear sunglasses or glasses with my helmet when I ride while still keeping the wind out of my eyes like when I wear goggles. I sit 6'2' and the top of the windshield is over my line of sight nicely so I can see what's in front of my very clearly, and the wind coming off of it barely hits my face. I can feel it to cool me off, but I haven't had anything in my eyes or hit my face since I started using this last month, and I ride every day. Very easy installation, fit right in where it was supposed to, in the right way. Highly recommended.
