Hey...just stumbled on your videos....I work for Klockwerks here in Mitchell, South Dakota, and on behalf of the company, I thank you for such a thorough review. Yes, you're still going to get wind in your face...part of the reason we ride, right? But the Flare cleans up the wind and eliminated the "bobble-head" effect. It's also a performance windshield putting as much as 15 pounds of down-force on the front end at highway speeds to, like you said, hug the ground. We all know that the bike's front ends get light at highway speeds. These are wind tunnel designed and Bonneville Salt Flats proven. We now have them in an array of colors to really make your bikes look great. Again, on behalf of Klockwerks, thank you!
I really appreciate you promoting and challenging us to practice slow speed maneuvering. Great confidence is paramount to safety and protecting our beautiful rides.
I like the 9” windshield mainly because I put the 9” black on my 2021 Road Glide Special. Looks good and functionality is great for me. Oh did I mention I’m 6’5”. Enjoy your ride 👍🏾
The 9” looks cool, but I went with the 14” on my RG. I wear a half helmet most of the time, and I don’t get any buffeting. My glasses stay still and my helmet doesn’t move. Very happy with it. The 14 still looks good on the bike. 👍 I keep the top vent closed.
Robert. Is my understanding that the top edge of the windshield should be at the same level of the tip of your nose when you are sitting straight in your motorcycle. I did that, my son helped me with a láser level and I found that for me should be 10” windshield in my Ultra Limited. And it works. Try that approach and find out what height suggestion came out from the test Good luck and enjoy.
Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed to my RUclips channel!👍🏾😊 ruclips.net/user/BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle I’m happy that my channel has been helpful to you! That makes all the time and effort that I put into this so worthwhile!
Bruh!, You got the 2021 CVO Road Glide?! Whuut!! Subbed! On top of of that you're a pro Highway Patrol veteran from New Yawk? Wow! Obi-Rob-Kenobi, I got a lot of learning to soak in my brain from your exceptional experience and wisdom! Be blessed, b/c U ARE Blessed!!
Robert. Love the videos. I have the exact same bike and also went with the 9" klockwerks windshield. As for the additional wind through the fairing, with my2020 road glides they did away with the operating vents in the lower part of the fairings. There are kits available that remove the existing tunnels and replace them with tunnels that have the closable vent doors. I installed one of these kits on my 21CVO RG and it makes a huge difference. Especially closing them at highway speeds.
that bike is beautiful cant get enough so i picked up a 2021 roadglide special vivid black billiard red the dealer was having an event day very buysy there was a 2021 cvo same as yours demo not for sale up close its even better sir......your a very lucky man...much respect .
Robert. Just to let you know that I bought the 9” sport flare for my 2016 Road Glide…and hate it! I closed the vent and the wind hit right at the top of my helmet. I did watch the directions and the 9” should have been perfect. I’m going to return it and by the 12” one.
The 9” looks great and the bike is looking awesome. I personally think I would go with the 14” for the type of highway miles I do. Just a little more protection from bugs and small stones, I’m all about the comfort and protection. Keep up the great video Robert.
Good morning Robert, I wrote you last month on not sure if I should get a Road glide or Street glide for my first bike. I promised you I would let you know what I decided. Well, it wasn't neither.Lol. I still watch and enjoy your videos. I owe you 20 push ups. I'm not really computer savvy, but will try to send pics of my first Harley and video. Steve Lowe from Chicago Il.
Hey Robert, I am from the boogie down Bronx an live in Florida. I started checking out your channel cause I need to work on my u turns and slow riding skills. I recommended you to my friends and they too are getting to know you. Thank brother.
It’s so funny I had the same deciding factor with my bike I had to go with the 9” one because it was also a better way for me to see the burial holes on the mean streets of NYC
Hey Robert thanks for posting anything is better than the stock road glide windshield I have 9 in on mine short Rider it works beautiful clockworks way to go
I tried the 9” klockwerks windshield bought in sturgis rode home and got blasted by bugs and wind. They wanted me to go with the 14” didn’t like that one. So back to my 9” Windvest windshield. Good luck.
I have a 8in.Windvest but I’m only 5’7” and it works great for me on my street glide special which I can Duct into it, I just came back from my Harley shop and I finally broke down and purchased a full face three in one Helmet. Saturday or Sunday I’ll take a good ride and I’ll give you my thoughts on it
I've been wondering about the Kock werk 9" and you scared me when I saw the vent open and you were still getting more wind than you'd like. I thought I noticed the vent open LOL!!! This helped me on both levels and I'm not looking at the 9". I plan on doing a retirement ride for around 2 to 3 months and the stock shield is so sad for sure. I'm sold now. I want to thank you for your feed back on this.
Yes Robert, the lower vent also allow wind in your face. Up until 2020 those vents were operational. Due them being problematic the now removed that option. Although you can have them reinstalled $$$$$
Also my clockworks screw holes on the LT hand side were not quite right I used the stock screen to locate proper locations and my dremel tool with Forstner bit to get to proper location.
Thank you for the video Robert. I'll be picking up my 2022 cvo blue steel tomorrow and I been pondering on the 9 as well but wasn't sure on the 14 I'm 5' 11" hoping the 9 will be the one for me as well and that it'll keep the wife comfortable as well. That's the most important thing...lol great job on all your videos, love them all. God bless you and all your brothers and sisters in the field still. I'd surely love to do a class on your biking skills, never hurts to be more confident. Take care!
I think the vents in the RG fairing provide some air pressure behind the fairing, to prevent air from swirling around the sides, trying to fill a big low pressure pocket behind the fairing. That swirling air coming around the fairing and up around the tank causes a lot of head buffeting because it’s so turbulent. The vents “backfill” the low pressure pocket with smoother air from the front. Closing those vents might introduce a whole new set of problems.
Excellent video! I like KW. Yeah, they cost a little more but the quality is there and you get what you pay for. QUESTION - I've always been curious to know what it''s like for a motor officer during the winter. What's it like? What gear do they wear? Do you ride as much or does the weather limit you and if so, were you desk bound or switch to a car patrol? Please tell us as much as you can about that. I'm sure your viewers would love to hear about it. Thanks.
Thank you very much! The only thing that limits riding is ice. Then cars are used. We wore leather jackets. I actually showed it on one of my very early videos.
I wondered that too about motormen that patrol in cold weather climates (such as NYC.. gets cold there in winter .. it as bad as chi Tho.. gotta get my winter gear together.. bought a full face the other day.. ibe always been a 3/4 helmet dude and used to stop riding around thanksgiving. Just got off a 15 year riding hiatus and don’t think I can go 3-4 months not riding. So if no ice or snow I gotta work out some winter riding gear for some short rides at least
@@geraldgoodiii6993 I spent my Career as a Trucker running the east Coast for 80 percent of my Loads, because it got me home more , Chicago gets for sure more snow than NYC, because its kinda on the coast the Ocean keeps it a bit more Temperate, now getting there going across I 80 in the Pennsylvania winter time was fun at times to say the least lol
Like you, I have the 14" and 9". I'm 5'10" and like seeing over the top. I wish KW made a 9" clear (why not!!!) I'm a Heritage owner also and I love the clear windshield it has. You might find that with the vent open, there is less wind on your face....try it. Also, MOST of the wind buffering comes from the bottom up!..not over the windshield. Place you had at the top of your helmet and you may have little wind buffering...so the windshield is doing it's job. Now close you legs close to the tank....that might get rid of a lot of buffering. Now put your open hand down by you legs/knees and you will eliminate more wind buffering. Bottom line - a lot of the buffering is coming from below and up....not over the top. So I installed a HD wind buffering shield...useless!! Saw a HD RG with a molded lower wind buffer installed in Daytona. But I think it was a special CVO order. Still looking....but close your legs to the tank and that will remove a LOT. Love your vids....sorry I missed you at Bike week. ONe more thing, for slow speed skills....head turn, friction zone, light rear breaks, preload, etc....If you ain''t doing 8 - 10 mph or more....down she goes!! PRELOAD and friction zone are THE MOST IMPORTANT. IMO, you're the only one of the "teachers' that emphasis the importance of PRELOAD....THANKS! I need that on my '20 RG with 2 - up most of the time. Heading to Lafayette, LA for rally and then Panama City Beach and Sturgis. Hope to see you.
Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed to my RUclips channel!👍🏾😊 ruclips.net/user/BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle See if you can order it from Amazon. Returns are easier.
That 9” looks great. I had the 14” touring model on my road glide and it made a huge difference with no helmet buffeting. I may try that 9” sport on my new ST glide though.
Thanks for video. I have to replace the OEM windshield on my 2016 Road Glide Ultra because it cracked where it mounts. I like the 9 inch…it looks better.
It looks great Robert, i went with the blacked out 9' on my cvo. It's awesome for long rides or just cruising around town. Now you can actually hear your radio
Robert just want to take the time out to tell you thanks.... I always felt uncomfortable when making sharp turns at slow speeds, I watched your videos and used the back brakes and clutch as you suggested and it worked perfectly...... my feet very suddenly to none touch the ground.... thanks bro ✊🏾.... Love that RG CVO!!!!
Hey Willie. Man that's great news! It’s my pleasure. I’m happy that my channel has been helpful to you! That makes all the time and effort that I put into this so worthwhile! Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed!
Hey Robert, Glad you purchased both. I have the 14” on mine, as a matter of fact, it’s been on my 15 RG as well before I traded it. I’ll be following closely cuz I’m interested in the 9” as well.
Man that bike is absolutely on another level RS. I’m not apposed to the 14” if it works. Like you neighbor mentioned it doesn’t take away from the bike. But the 9” has the tight squared off look. Any way you go that bike is a Prince. Ride safe and ride often.
If you don’t mind uniformity, you can park the red one front to the wall so you just ride into it and reverse duck walk a little to ride out. Just a thought. Nice bike either way.
Another awesome video thanks. Timely as I have had about enough of my 22 Road Glide and still trying to decide whether to order the 9 or the 14. Factory windshield truly sucks. But Robert, shorts and a tee shirt? Come on!
I have the Klock Werks 12-inch ProTour in Tint on my Road Glide and I really love that windshield. It still has the great flare look and the perfect hight on the Road Glide for me. I forgot to mention my height is 5'11" if anyone is wondering.
@Robert....!!! Wish I could meet you in person, shake your hand and tell you, thank you! Yet another awesome video on a product that I'm looking at and trying to decide on which one to buy. The 9 inch or the 14 inch dark smoke windshield. Your video help me with my decision. Going with a 9 inch K lock Werks shield. Best of all, I don't plan on buying the bike until July or August of this year. I have plenty of parts for it as of now. Really wanted to buy the shield and have that ready to install the day I get the bike. This is the second video of yours that has helped me in product decision making. The last video of yours that I checked out was on the TAB performance zombie exhaust systems. Your video was a big help on my new exhaust system. Again, thank you very much my friend and keep up the good video work....!!! Alec
Dang that a gorgeous bike. The 9" looks nicer. A fairing just makes a low pressure area behind it. The dual vents helps to add some pressure around your chest to control potential buffeting. Bugs will come thru the vents but screens are available for that. 31 yrs. on the job and I'm still working the road and looking to improve the skills. Thanks and keep getting after it Robert.
Sorry folks just a quick question... Whats the best site to purchase a good used Harley in the US...I am in Afrika Anticipate Thanks Hey Robert I love what you do fpr us rookie riders...cheers
I run a Freedom Shield on my street glide. Got a 4 or 5" shield and feel no wind, buffeting, been in the rain a few times and no rain hit me in the face.
You may already know this but you can get the inserts to open and close the lower vents as well. For us northern winter riders they are a good thing lol. I prefer the 9 inch klockwerks windshield myself. I'm 6'2" and always ride with a full face modular helmet so I like some wind coming back for cooling purposes. As long as I'm not being buffeted to death I'm fine.
Thanks! Yes that is insulation on the doors. I actually have it on there to help the garage stay cool and it does help, so I'm sure it also helps it stay warmer than it would be without it.
Robert, that 9” looks the best and seems to add to the beauty of that sweet ride. I wondered about the “distance” when you mentioned the 14” shield and low-speed maneuvers.
thank you for sharing 9 inch looks nice and taller than stock one, the stock with me is good i brought 14 inch HD but i dont like it! i cant see above it. i m looking for 9 inch this looks cool i will tray it

Hi LT, love the new edition to your fleet. 9” deflector looks awesome. I love seeing that Simmons sign hanging under the TV, looks great in that awesome garage of yours. preloading and keeping it loaded everyday ✌🏻🇺🇸
Hey Robert, I also went with the 9" on my RG. I'm a short 6 feet (5'-10") and it fits me perfectly. BTW I'm a soon to be retired HP, joining the ranks this December :)
I have the 9" klock werk sport flare on my 2021 RGS and love the style & function of it just hate that Harley removed the option to close the lower vents good deal Rob
2019 and under all those vent open or close they should have left it like that in my opinion and if u do night riding check out the custom dynamic headlight it's 100% better then the Harley Davidson headlight
@@imnewtothistuff looking through smoked windshields at night is dangerous...not a preference..safety..I tried it..and couldn't see shit!! Klockwerks chart even shows that...smh🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
Them helmets you bikers wear over in USA, with the straps coming down either side of ears. How do they go when you doing 70 mph against the wind. Can you feel them wanting to blow back& not being secure?. Good show Robert i liked it
187 cm= 6,13 feet. Thank in advance ( I drove for years road king classic, amazing and super protective bike!...I know, will be very difficult find the same protection and confort on CVO - Road Glide, but... it's time too change! 🙂
Very nice I appreciate all your time and videos you’re sharing paying it forward is fantastic so they do make now 11 inch I’m thinking of getting one I have a 2020 Roadglide special with a 9 inch thank you kind sir
Thanks for the piece on wind shields, very informative. Just choosing the 9” screen but there are different shades to choose from. Is the one you chose the darkest option, if so I will be going for that one. Looks cool. I am a retired UK cop so big shout out to my US brothers and sisters over there.
Thank you very much! Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed!👍🏾😊 I use two jacks. OTC and J & S. I did a video comparing them. Check it out when you get a chance.
Was you not happy with the 14 because you found yourself having to look thru it instead of over it. I bought the 11 inch and seems like I’m having to look over it at times
Hey...just stumbled on your videos....I work for Klockwerks here in Mitchell, South Dakota, and on behalf of the company, I thank you for such a thorough review. Yes, you're still going to get wind in your face...part of the reason we ride, right? But the Flare cleans up the wind and eliminated the "bobble-head" effect. It's also a performance windshield putting as much as 15 pounds of down-force on the front end at highway speeds to, like you said, hug the ground. We all know that the bike's front ends get light at highway speeds. These are wind tunnel designed and Bonneville Salt Flats proven. We now have them in an array of colors to really make your bikes look great. Again, on behalf of Klockwerks, thank you!

I thought the 14 gave it a meaner look.
I been tossing around which to get. Love that they let you try both.
The 9” looks cool, but I went with the 14” on my RG. I wear a half helmet most of the time, and I don’t get any buffeting. My glasses stay still and my helmet doesn’t move. Very happy with it. The 14 still looks good on the bike. 👍 I keep the top vent closed.
Thank you very much!
Question, how tall are you, and does the 14” obstruct your vision?
@@fyrmn1969 I’m 6ft tall. I have the light tint windshield not the dark smoke. Visibility isn’t an issue. The windshield is below my line of site. 👍
with my saddlemen RoadSofa, and being 6'4" I went with 14" Klock Werks. I love it.
Yeah you definitely needed to go with the 14".
I like the 11 inch sport
Robert. Is my understanding that the top edge of the windshield should be at the same level of the tip of your nose when you are sitting straight in your motorcycle.

Thank you very much Nick!

Mr. Simmons I agree with you 100% on cleaning the fairing before putting the windshield on. The bike looks amazing with both windshields!
Thank you very much!
9" For looks and 14" for wind protection if yourr doing tons of highway riding. Love what you do and keep posting.
I agree. Thank you very much!

14 inch, definitely. But, hey, everybody is different. So, good for you.
@David M, he lives in Georgia its always warm. Id suspect tht insulation isn't to keep the garage warm. Imo.
Correct!
Hey Robert thanks for posting anything is better than the stock road glide windshield I have 9 in on mine short Rider it works beautiful clockworks way to go

I think those lower vents brings the air up to your shoulders. If blocked off it might lower your air around the body portion
Thanks!
Had a 14” on my Road Glide Limited. Considering a 9” on my Road Glide ST. Just found out they came out with an 11 so I’m having trouble deciding.

9" all day! Beautiful bike Sir!!
Thank you very much!
I like the look of the 9” as well. Prelooooaaaddd.
Thank you very much! And Keep it loaded!!
That 9” looks great. I had the 14” touring model on my road glide and it made a huge difference with no helmet buffeting. I may try that 9” sport on my new ST glide though.

You already know! That 9” all day!…You thought about using your bike lift to park the RG? Great video
Thank you very much! The lift wouldn't work. Even if it would, it would take much more time and effort to park.
I like the 9 better as well
I installed the klok works 14inch sport windshield
Thanks Tim.
Thanks for video. I have to replace the OEM windshield on my 2016 Road Glide Ultra because it cracked where it mounts. I like the 9 inch…it looks better.

Both my Glides have multi windshields all clock works 4,5,6 8.5 is as tall as I need seems to my go to on both.
Thanks.
I'm a Street Glide guy; I have a 2018 SGS, but that is one good looking Road Glide. The 9" is a good choice LT.
Thanks Sam! I'm a Street Glide guy as well!
It looks great Robert, i went with the blacked out 9' on my cvo. It's awesome for long rides or just cruising around town. Now you can actually hear your radio
Thank you very much!
Robert just want to take the time out to tell you thanks.... I always felt uncomfortable when making sharp turns at slow speeds, I watched your videos and used the back brakes and clutch as you suggested and it worked perfectly...... my feet very suddenly to none touch the ground.... thanks bro ✊🏾.... Love that RG CVO!!!!

Hey Robert,
Glad you purchased both. I have the 14” on mine, as a matter of fact, it’s been on my 15 RG as well before I traded it.
I’ll be following closely cuz I’m interested in the 9” as well.
Thanks!
Man that bike is absolutely on another level RS. I’m not apposed to the 14” if it works. Like you neighbor mentioned it doesn’t take away from the bike. But the 9” has the tight squared off look. Any way you go that bike is a Prince. Ride safe and ride often.
Thank you very much!
If you don’t mind uniformity, you can park the red one front to the wall so you just ride into it and reverse duck walk a little to ride out. Just a thought. Nice bike either way.
Thanks! No I could never do that. That would drive me crazy!
Another awesome video thanks. Timely as I have had about enough of my 22 Road Glide and still trying to decide whether to order the 9 or the 14. Factory windshield truly sucks. But Robert, shorts and a tee shirt? Come on!
Thanks!
Freedom shield
Hands down the 9” was the best choice with the CVO style and looks
Thanks Mike!
9” windshield for sure on that CVO. I have a 12” touring by Klockwerk on my RG Ultra and it serves me well and still looks good.
Thank you very much!
I have the 9" and recently got the 12" touring off the advice of the KW staff for my passenger. The 9 just doesn't make a big enough bubble for her.
@@patrickstevens5457 Thank you.
I have the Klock Werks 12-inch ProTour in Tint on my Road Glide and I really love that windshield. It still has the great flare look and the perfect hight on the Road Glide for me.
I forgot to mention my height is 5'11" if anyone is wondering.
Thanks Jeff.
awesome thanks ,looking forward to receiving my pro touring as well,THANKS

@Robert....!!! Wish I could meet you in person, shake your hand and tell you, thank you! Yet another awesome video on a product that I'm looking at and trying to decide on which one to buy. The 9 inch or the 14 inch dark smoke windshield. Your video help me with my decision. Going with a 9 inch K lock Werks shield. Best of all, I don't plan on buying the bike until July or August of this year. I have plenty of parts for it as of now. Really wanted to buy the shield and have that ready to install the day I get the bike. This is the second video of yours that has helped me in product decision making. The last video of yours that I checked out was on the TAB performance zombie exhaust systems. Your video was a big help on my new exhaust system. Again, thank you very much my friend and keep up the good video work....!!! Alec

Dang that a gorgeous bike. The 9" looks nicer. A fairing just makes a low pressure area behind it. The dual vents helps to add some pressure around your chest to control potential buffeting. Bugs will come thru the vents but screens are available for that. 31 yrs. on the job and I'm still working the road and looking to improve the skills. Thanks and keep getting after it Robert.
Thank you very much for that information! Also, thank you for your service!
Great review Robert, Thank you. I see that 9" klockwerks screen as a excellent upgrade for my 21 RGL. -Pete
Thank you very much! It’s my pleasure. 😊
Sorry folks just a quick question...
Whats the best site to purchase a good used Harley in the US...I am in Afrika
Anticipate Thanks
Hey Robert I love what you do fpr us rookie riders...cheers
Thank you very much!
I run a Freedom Shield on my street glide. Got a 4 or 5" shield and feel no wind, buffeting, been in the rain a few times and no rain hit me in the face.
Thanks Adam.
Looks great with the 9 " windshield. Waiting for your Yankee sign removal video!
😂
You may already know this but you can get the inserts to open and close the lower vents as well. For us northern winter riders they are a good thing lol. I prefer the 9 inch klockwerks windshield myself. I'm 6'2" and always ride with a full face modular helmet so I like some wind coming back for cooling purposes. As long as I'm not being buffeted to death I'm fine.
Thanks Doug. I just bought a full face modular so I’m sure that will help.
Looks good on the bike. Have one question. Is that insulation on your garage door and if it is does it help the garage stay warm.
Good question, I was going to ask the same thing 🤔🤔
Thanks! Yes that is insulation on the doors. I actually have it on there to help the garage stay cool and it does help, so I'm sure it also helps it stay warmer than it would be without it.
@@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle 👍🏽thanks bro
Love you motorcycle collection! I would like a Road Glide also. One Street Glide and one Road Glide would be nice.
Thank you very much!
Robert, that 9” looks the best and seems to add to the beauty of that sweet ride. I wondered about the “distance” when you mentioned the 14” shield and low-speed maneuvers.
Thanks. the 14" would have no adverse effect on my slow speed maneuvers.👍🏾
thank you for sharing 9 inch looks nice and taller than stock one, the stock with me is good i brought 14 inch HD but i dont like it! i cant see above it. i m looking for 9 inch this looks cool i will tray it

Hi LT, love the new edition to your fleet. 9” deflector looks awesome. I love seeing that Simmons sign hanging under the TV, looks great in that awesome garage of yours. preloading and keeping it loaded everyday ✌🏻🇺🇸
Hey Dan. Thank you very much! Yeah I got that Simmons sign from a very cool Preloader! It's a permanent part of the garage now.👍🏾😁
@@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle lol, I know I’m the cool guy that made it for you 😂 have a good one my friend. Pre-loaded Dan P✌🏻🇺🇸
@@danpomm8632 👍🏾😁
Hey Robert, I also went with the 9" on my RG. I'm a short 6 feet (5'-10") and it fits me perfectly. BTW I'm a soon to be retired HP, joining the ranks this December :)
Congratulations!! Also, thank you for your service!
That was a super easy install...no wonder you kept switching them out. I would have just dealt with it the next day.
Also 13” legend rear coil over shocks I waited too long to make that change wished I would have done it day 1
Zman
The nine inch looks great!! I’m literally deciding between the 9 & 11 inch windshield currently. Thanks for the video & advice.
Thank you very much! It’s my pleasure.
I have the 9" klock werk sport flare on my 2021 RGS and love the style & function of it just hate that Harley removed the option to close the lower vents good deal Rob
Thank you very much!
Definitely 9" but since you really don't look through it you should get the blacked out one in stead of the tinted. Just looks even better IMO 😍
Thank you very much!
REAL NAME BRIAN ZINNERMAN....WHATS UP CUZ? GREAT TO SEE YOU DOING YOUR THING AS USUAL. STAY BLESSED CUZ
Hey Brian. Thank you very much!
2019 and under all those vent open or close they should have left it like that in my opinion and if u do night riding check out the custom dynamic headlight it's 100% better then the Harley Davidson headlight
Had custom dynamic leds on my road king & miss them. Will upgrade by spring for new 21 RG Std. Great lights!
Thanks!
I would go with the 9” shield the 14” might be too tall…you want to look over the shield and not thru it. Plus the 9” looks more sporty
Exactly!!!!! That's the issue I had with the 12" ,the 9" is perfect...love it!!!!
Thanks Lenny!
Looking over or through a windshield is a personal preference. Not what one should or shouldn't do.
@@imnewtothistuff looking through smoked windshields at night is dangerous...not a preference..safety..I tried it..and couldn't see shit!! Klockwerks chart even shows that...smh🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
@@curtisck813 my "F4" brand shield is only 15% tinted, its totally fine at night.
Them helmets you bikers wear over in USA, with the straps coming down either side of ears. How do they go when you doing 70 mph against the wind. Can you feel them wanting to blow back& not being secure?. Good show Robert i liked it
Thanks Gary! That's what the windshield is for.
The 9 inch looks the best, the 14 will obviously provide better wind deflection and still looks okay. I am a short guy so the 9th works well for me.
Thank you very much!
187 cm= 6,13 feet. Thank in advance ( I drove for years road king classic, amazing and super protective bike!...I know, will be very difficult find the same protection and confort on CVO - Road Glide, but... it's time too change! 🙂
Tried the pro tour 15 then the windvest 14 inch and the windvest is superior.
Thank you very much!

Very nice I appreciate all your time and videos you’re sharing paying it forward is fantastic so they do make now 11 inch I’m thinking of getting one I have a 2020 Roadglide special with a 9 inch thank you kind sir
Thank you very much! It’s my pleasure. 😊
Beautiful collection of motorcycles Robert.
Thank you very much!
I’m 5’5” on a good day and the 9” is great!
Thanks!
Can you see over the windshield with the 9"? I'm 5'7"" and worried it will be too high - do you carry a passenger, did they get any buffeting?
Robert, looks like you’ve already bought the klockworks. Didn’t like the way it buffers the wind on my RGG . Returned it for the Memphis shades.
Same…. I got a lot of buffering with Klockworks 14 on my RG. Also returned it for Memphis shades.
Thanks!
@@Griff33 Thanks!
Thanks for the piece on wind shields, very informative. Just choosing the 9” screen but there are different shades to choose from. Is the one you chose the darkest option, if so I will be going for that one. Looks cool. I am a retired UK cop so big shout out to my US brothers and sisters over there.
It’s my pleasure. 😊 No mine is smoked not blacked out. Also, thank you for your service!
9" looks great! Good video, thank you. I ordered the same one for my new RG CVO. By the way, what bike jack/lift do you use for the garage?
Thank you very much! Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed!👍🏾😊 I use two jacks. OTC and J & S. I did a video comparing them. Check it out when you get a chance.
Thats a beautiful bike Rob. I put the 14 inch on my Road Glide, but I've been seriously looking at putting the 9 inch because of the way it looks.
Thank you very much! If you decide to do that, order it from Amazon. That way if it doesn’t work well for you, no problem returning it. 👍🏾
Was you not happy with the 14 because you found yourself having to look thru it instead of over it. I bought the 11 inch and seems like I’m having to look over it at times
Just my opinion….That CVO is the best looking in your stable!
Thanks Keith! Many share your opinion.
Appreciate your videos very much sir.
Question LT..those handlebars being so low are not a problem? You mentioned them hitting your legs in turns.
Thank you very much! These really weren’t as bad as my other motorcycles. I’ve since changed them.
@@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle
What height did you go with? I have 14inch Yaffes on my FLHRC. Super comfortable
@@RoadKing-269 12"
Great look, great bike, is that the blacked out, or dark smoke?
Thank you very much! Smoked.
@@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle Thanks bro!
